Title: Laser scanning digital camera with simplified optics and potential for multiply scattered light imaging
Inventor: ELSNER ANN E
IPC: G06K9/40
Filed: 2007-05-30
Abstract: A portable, lightweight digital imaging device uses a slit scanning arran gement to obtain an image of the eye, in particular the retina. The scanning arrangement reduces the amount of target area illuminated at a time, thereb y reducing the amount of unwanted light scatter and providing a higher contr ast image. A detection arrangement receives the light remitted from the reti nal plane and produces an image. The device is operable under battery power and ambient light conditions, such as outdoor or room lighting. The device i s noncontact and does not require that the pupil of the eye be dilated with drops. The device can be used by personnel who do not have specialized train ing in the eye, such as emergency personnel, pediatricians, general practiti oners, or volunteer or otherwise unskilled screening personnel. Images can b e viewed in the device or transmitted to a remote location. The device can a lso be used to provide images of the anterior segment of the eye, or other s mall structures. Visible wavelength light is not required to produce images of most important structures in the retina, thereby increasing the comfort a nd safety of the device. Flexible and moderate cost confocal and fluorescent imaging, multiply scattered light images, and image sharpening are further functionalities possible with the device.
