Summary: The Heidelberg Retina Tomograph is a confocal laser scanning microscope designed for in vivo three-dimensional imaging of the posterior segment of the eye. It enables quantitative measurement of the optic nerve head topography. This new imaging device may be beneficial in the diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma patients. The authors describe benefits and limitations with regard to imaging mechanisms, sensitivity, and clinical applications.
Keywords: confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, HRT, glaucoma, optic nerve topography.
