In a study, four different OCT devices were used to image sequential patients with high myopia. The acquisition protocol used to compare the four devices involved single horizontal and vertical line scans focused on the fovea. The objective of the comparison was to evaluate the extent of retinal layer visibility, presence of conjugate image artifacts, and visibility of sclerochoroidal and retrobulbar tissue. Time-domain OCT utilizes a low-coherence lig...

These instruments help the physician perform a surgical procedure without using anesthesia. These tools help the doctor treat an obstruction or narrowing in the GI tract. A tumor or scar can cause endoscopic tightures. This condition usually requires surgery to remove the obstruction. The technology available to perform this procedure is minimally invasive, and it allows for minimal incisions. Different dilation devices are available that are customized to fit the needs of patients. As endoscopic surgery has become more popular, the use of endoscopic instr...
