To expand the clinical applications and improve the ease of use of ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography (UHR-OCT), we developed a portable boom-type ophthalmic UHR-OCT operating in supine position that can be used for pediatric subjects, bedridden patients and perioperative conditions. By integrating the OCT sample arm probe with real-time iris display and automatic focusing electric lens for easy alignment, coupling the probe on a self-locking multi-directional manipulator to reduce motion artifacts and operator fatigue, and installing the OCT module on a moveable cart for system mobility, our customized portable boom-type UHR-OCT enables non-contact, high-resolution and high-stability retinal examinations to be performed on subjects in supine position...
