Scheimpflug images can be made as
กค single pictures with selectable camera positions
กค 3D scans of the anterior eye segment.
The Scheimpflug image is shown while the eye is being
focused, allowing the qualit of the picture to be judged before
imaging. The orientation display shows the eye to be examined
and the current camera-slit position. The clear and simply
structured program of the Pentacam permit its operation to be
delegated to assistants. The software can also be used over
the network.
 
The 3D-analysis provides important data for the
cataract surgeon
An exact 3D analysis of the anterior segment
is guaranteed by the rotating image principle.
It includes the chamber angle, volume and
size. The 3D model show the corneal front
and back area, the position of the iris and the
lens are also shown.
 
Densitometry
Through the illumination by blue LED-light during the measure -
ment, the densitometry (light transmittance) is visible.
The software analyses the cataract and the result can be viewed
on the screen. The densitonetry of the lens is quantified which
builds a basis for subsequent studies and comparative depic-
tions. The single Scheimpflug pictures of the scan can be
viewed individually. At the same time, the current sectional
plane will be shown in the orientation display.
The high quality of the Scheimpflug image becomes clearly
apparent in, for example, the depiction of Bowman's layer as the
fist major peak and the sharpness of the rear portion of the lens.
The Pentacam permits carrying out pre-and postoperative
control, for example in the case of implantations of intraocular
contact lenses, and I.O.L.
