 Confocal Fundus Image Multi-modality Diagnostics

By co-locating and comparing the en face images of CSLO-FA

and CSLO-ICGA with the cross-sectional images of SD-OCT,
we are able to interpret the images better than with any single
modality. The SPECTRALIS multi-modal imaging platform is, in
my opinion, an indispensable tool in a retina clinic.

The SPECTRALIS is of great value – it is swift, easy to use, and
