ABSTRACT
@#AIM: To describe the application of image acquisition function of smart phone with slit lamp examination in the ophthalmology residency training program.<p>METHODS: The supporting set for smart phone can be securely connected to the ocular lens of slit lamp microscopy. The anterior or fundus photos and dynamic videos were obtained through slit lamp examination with non-contact lens, three-mirror lens or gonio lens. Acquired images or recorded videos were transmitted to ophthalmology trainee by using wireless local area network(WLAN), WeChat and other software.<p>RESULTS: High quality images and dynamic video could be successfully taken with smart phone and supporting set by slit lamp examination, which could clearly display tissue details and pathological features. The fast transmission of image data can enable more trainees to access clinic education resource simultaneously and communicate with each other timely and effectively.<p>CONCLUSION: High resolution smart phones are wildly used and supporting sets are very accessible; thus high quality of images could be easily obtained for clinical teaching purpose. Furthermore, it enriches the clinical teaching resources. So the application of image acquisition function of smart phone with slit lamp examination is worthy in the standardized training of ophthalmology residents.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To describe the application of smart phone and supporting set for acquiring fundus images with slitlamp examination and non-contact lens in primary hospital of the rural area.METHODS:The supporting set for smart phone was purchased from taobao and securely connected to the ocular lens of slitlamp microscopy.The fundus photos were imaged with assistance of non-contact slitlamp lens from Volk.RESULTS:High quality images of various retinal diseases could be successfully taken with smart phone and supporting set by slitlamp examination.The fundus images were send to patients with Wechat as medical records or used for telconsultant.CONCLUSION:High resolution smart phones are wildly used nowadays and supporting sets are very accessible;thus high quality of images could be obtained with minimal cost in rural hospitals.The digital fundus images will be beneficial for medical record and rapid diagnosis with telconsultant.
