E1-i-RIC
The E1-i-RIC (Retinal Image Capture) digital camera back is designed exclusively for non-mydriatic capture of retinal images with low power xenon flash illuminant. Typical camera backs used on non-mydriatic retinal cameras are not optimized for low light exposures and require a substantial amount of light to image the retina with good resolution. This excessive amount of light exacerbates miosis, reducing the quality of subsequently captured images, increasing the difficulty for the ophthalmic photographer, prolonging the imaging session and obscuring early pathology. The RIC back balances the need for image resolution with the requirement that patient illumination be kept at an absolute minimum to prevent miosis. The RIC back provides excellent dynamic range, high sensitivity, electronic shuttering, optimized resolution and MegaVision’s acclaimed retinal color rendering. With the RIC back, MegaVision delivers another milestone in ophthalmic imaging leadership - raising the bar of image quality while lowering the barrier to broadly deployed non-mydriatic image capture for retinal disease screening, monitoring, and treatment.
Features
-
Featuring high sensitivity, low noise, electronic shuttering, and optical filtration optimized for non-mydriatic retinal image capture, the RIC digital back is the ideal choice for critical, reliable , low-light retinal image capture.
-
Flexible trigger input and internal logic controllers facilitate interfacing to a wide range of host camera systems. IEEE 1394 (FireWire) interface eliminates many support issues and eases integration with host computer systems.
A replete SDK, which supports MegaVision’s entire line of digital backs, enables rapid integration with custom image capture applications. The SDK enables image capture, calibration, and processing.
-
MegaVision’s calibrated color development enables custom renderings to achieve optimum diagnostic quality.
-
Raw files may be saved in industry standard DNG format, and developed images may be saved in either TIFF or JPG.
-
MegaVision can also provide with the RIC back its award winning PhotoShoot capture application as an aid to application development, or as a stand-alone capture, assessment, and management software in its own right.
