AVATAR

Established in 2007, this unit is dedicated to use of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) as a secondary outcome measure for ophthalmic clinical trials, and for telemedicine application. The focus is on an advanced OCT technology called spectral domain-OCT that enables the reconstruction of a detailed 3-D image from which individual anatomic features can be mathematically quantified.
