Nidek Launches Mirante Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope in the U.S.

Nidek has launched its Mirante Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (SLO) in the United States. The Mirante introduces a multimodal fundus-imaging platform, seamlessly integrating high-definition Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (SLO) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) with ultra-wide field imaging capabilities.

This platform captures a spectrum of imaging modalities, including high-quality color images, fluorescein angiography (FA), indocyanine green angiography (ICG), fundus autofluorescence (FAF), unique Retro mode images, and OCT.

Key features of the Mirante platform include:

● A wide-field adapter enabling 163° ultra-wide field imaging with a single-image capture, facilitating detailed pathology evaluation from the fovea to the extreme periphery.

● Exceptional imaging quality with a 4,096 x 4,096-pixel resolution in ultra 4K HD, providing an expansive and clear view of retinal structures and vasculature.

● The innovative Flex Track algorithm correcting image distortion due to unstable fixation, ensuring enhanced image averaging quality.

● Three separate RGB detectors simultaneously scanning different retinal depths with red, green, and blue wavelengths for precise color imaging and histogram adjustment.

● Dynamic blood flow recording through FA and ICG, allowing the simultaneous acquisition of FA and ICG images.

● Retro mode modality for noninvasive visualization of pathologies beyond the retinal pigment epithelium, providing pseudo three-dimensional images for a comprehensive understanding of pathology extent.

● High-definition OCT images covering a maximum 16.5- x 12-mm area, facilitating detailed assessments from the vitreous to choroid in a single shot, with additional options for the anterior segment OCT adapter.
