Tracking Laser Tomography is different than single beam “OCT only” systems. By combining the best of confocal scanning laser technology (cSLO) and spectral-domain OCT, the Spectralis® not only guides the images to the retina on the first scan, it can be used to guide the follow-up exam.

The system uses the doctor’s decision on scan location, automatically scanning in the same location on follow-up and does not rely on the operator’s subjective judgment.

 

The real breakthrough in imaging has not been “high resolution” imaging, it is the ability to minimize or eliminate eye motion artifact, enabling highly detailed images of retinal pathology. Having the fastest scan speeds, combined with TruTrack™ dual beam scanning, enables Spectralis® to outrun most saccades which cause motion artifact in other 3-D OCT images.
