San Antonio Hospital, Padova, second AO retinal imaging center in Italy

An rtx1 Adaptive Optics Retinal Camera has been installed at the San Paolo Ophthalmic Center, San Antonio Hospital, Padova . The team led by Pr Giuseppe Lo Giudice is now the second Italian medical group to be equipped with the rtx1 technology, which enables cellular and micro-vascular imaging in the living retina. “As adaptive optics imaging reveals a number of important and previously invisible microscopic structures of the retina, we expect that this new technology will lead us to significant advances in understanding and managing several retinal diseases” says Pr Lo Giudice.
