Long-Working Distance OCT System With Fixation Alignment for Pediatric Imaging
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Duke Biomedical Engineering's Long-working distance OCT for Retinal Diseases and Optic Nerve Diseases. Completed, enrolled 49 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Young children age 6 month to 6 years are often not able to cooperate for advanced OCT eye imaging. The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of a novel long-working distance swept source (SS) optical coherence tomography imaging system with fixation alignment for use first in young adults, older children, and then young children ages 6 months to 6 years. The investigator's future goal is to obtain important retinal and optic nerve information from OCT in clinic in these young children.

Timeline
Interventions
The long-distance SSOCT system designed by Duke University Biomedical Engineering Department allows the user to quickly image an eye at a much greater distance (typically 20-40 cm away but this could be longer or shorter). This could potentially be used while briefly attracting a child's attention to an illuminated image over the imaging lens. With this methodology, young patients would not need to place their eye close to the system and could be rapidly imaged during the short interval while they glance at the image from the correct distance.
