Method for marking coagulation sites of a retina and system for coagulating the retina

摘要

A method for marking coagulation sites on a retina by application of a light source including: projecting a serial spot sequence from a sequential, one-dimensional series of spots on the retina, wherein the individual spots indicate the coagulation sites; waiting for confirmation of the sequence of individual spots; after confirming, recalculating an automated sequence of steps having a further serial spot sequence and projecting them on the retina according to the first step; and subsequent repeating of the second and third steps. Also, a system for coagulating the retina, having an imaging diagnostic unit, a therapy beam for coagulating coagulation sites, a pilot beam for marking the coagulation sites by a spot sequence, a beam deflecting unit for generating the spot sequence and for positioning the therapy beam, an electronic control unit for controlling the above devices, a software interface, and an interactive interface.

1. A method for marking coagulation sites on a retina by application of a light source, comprising:
projecting a serial spot sequence of the light source formed of a sequential, one-dimensional series of individual spots on the retina by use of a beam deflection unit, wherein the individual spots indicate the coagulation sites during a marking and treatment sequence; waiting for confirmation of the sequence of individual spots by entry of a confirmation signal from an operator during the marking and treatment sequence; after receiving the confirmation of the sequence of the individual spots, recalculating an automated sequence of steps having a further serial spot sequence and further projection of the further serial spot sequence on the retina according to the projecting a serial spot sequence; and, subsequently, repeating of the waiting for confirmation of the further sequence of individual spots by entry of a confirmation signal and the after receiving the confirmation of the sequence of the individual spots, recalculating the automated sequence of steps having a further serial spot sequence and projection of the serial spot sequence on the retina according to the projecting a serial spot sequence.
