- the basic science behind photodynamic therapy utilizes light to activate a photosensitizing parenterally administered dye that interacts with abnormal blood vessels through the formation and release of oxidizing free radicals. As a consequence of this reaction, neovascular membranes are shut down. This reduces the extension of the original laser eye injury into surrounding unaffected retinal tissue.
- Clinical application of this device also extends to uncommon wartime cases of punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC) associated with ocular histoplasmosis syndrome, as well as conventional clinical treatment of age-related macular degeneration. From a basic research standpoint, one can compare the efficacy of hand delivery of light for dye activation to computer-assisted delivery of this therapy to improve treatment efficacy and visual outcomes.
- PIC punctate inner choroidopathy
- An embodiment of the invention provides a device (also referred to herein as the "system") having an interface with an existing scanning laser ophthalmoscope (also referred to herein as a "retinal imager”) to process and capture images of retinal neovascular membranes.
- the device allows for shuttering-in of phototherapeutic laser energy to the affected tissue in real-time.
- a user can define parameters for a specific therapeutic laser window size, intensity, and/or wavelength.
- the device may be broadly applied to treatment of neovascular membranes that arise in the retina from a variety of other common medical conditions. For example, ocular histoplasmosis, retinal trauma, diabetic retinopathy, and age related macular degeneration may result in the formation of subretinal neovascular membranes.
- the device uses advanced imaging modalities (optical coherence tomography (OCT) and in some embodiments wavefront corrected retinal imaging) to diagnose abnormalities, localizes neovascularization, and provides automated treatment with PDT.

These lesions may include leaking microaneurysms, retinal pigment epithelial window defects, neoplasms such as capillary hemangiomas, or other tumors with the eye. If multiple treatment areas are required, each location is programmed for a specific energy level, exposure time, and treatment wavelength (in the case of a tunable treatment laser delivery system).

- PDT involves light activation of a photosensitizing dye that on laser exposure promotes the release of charged molecules that cause blood flow to stop in abnormal vascular beds (neovascular membranes).
- a treatment plan is mapped out on a diagnostic image using a mouse or other suitable pointing device. This map is then linked to an instrument that locks on to the retina using eye tracking and image stabilization so that the realtime view is aligned to the previously registered diagnostic image and treatment plan.
- eye tracking Many of the details of eye tracking are well-known and are not discussed herein in detail so as to focus the reader on the salient portions of the invention. Instead, reference is made to U.S. Patent Nos. 5, 106, 184 to Milbocker and 6,325,512 to Wei for the description of such details.
- the Milbocker patent features a retinal blood flow velocimeter that projects an illumination beam through a steering system onto a retinal vessel, and forms a separate tracking image back through the steering system.
- a fast tracking loop detects motion of the tracking image and moves the steering system to null image motion and keep the illumination beam centered on the vessel.
- the beam is reflected from the vessel, picked up by detectors at two fixed angles, and processed by spectral analysis.
- the illumination beam and the steering system follow entirely separate paths through the steering system.
- Fiber optics translate the collected Doppler light without dispersion while preserving phase relationships, and absolute dimensions are determined from the image tracking electronics.
- a processor then computes volumetric blood flow which it compares with normative data.
- the Wei patent features an optical coherence tomography ("OCT") application apparatus that performs an OCT application on an object.
- the OCT application apparatus includes an OCT scanning apparatus which outputs a beam of OCT scanning radiation and an active tracking system that generates and projects a beam of tracking radiation onto a region including a reference tracking feature, which active tracking system includes a tracking optical system that is disposed to intercept the beam of tracking radiation and the beam of OCT scanning radiation.
- the active tracking system of Wei analyzes tracking radiation reflected from the region to detect movement of the object, and to generate a tracking signal which directs the tracking optical system to follow the movement of the object.
- the OCT application comprises forming an OCT scan image of the object, for example and without limitation, a retina of an eye.
- the physician may initiate treatment.
- the application of treatment laser energy may be interrupted by the operator at will or by the instrument in the event of loss of eye tracking or loss of correspondence with the registered image (i.e., diagnostic image). Completion of treatment is resumed when the operator and/or instrument have realigned the patient.
- the instrument retains a record of how much treatment has been applied to specific retinal locations to facilitate accurate resumption of therapy.
- the computer guided application of light may be extended to the activation of retinal drugs delivered in an encapsulate such as a liposome or employment of other molecules which are light activated that have a therapeutic effect within the area of interest of laser illuminated tissue.
- the device allows for rapid and precise placement of PDT.
- High performance digital image processing and tracking coupled with computer controlled delivery of laser treatment is provided.
- the use of treatment mapping on digital imagery allows for precise localization of treatment application to a specific area of the retina.
- An embodiment of the invention uses computer guidance for the precise application of laser delivery to the retina in which the position, energy level, and duration of laser treatment are controlled spot by spot rather than a non-specific uniform energy level grid pattern.
- the delivery of laser energy may also be performed in a continuous raster application, again with beam intensity and dwell time modified as necessary at any given place in the raster epoch.
- FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating a system 600 according to an embodiment of the invention.
- the system 600 includes a retinal imager 610 for capturing a diagnostic image of a retina having at least one lesion, wherein the lesion includes a plurality of spots to be treated.
- the retinal imager 610 also captures a real-time image and updated real-time images of the retina using eye tracking and/or image stabilization.
- the eye tracking determines the position and/or size of each of the spots.
- a user interface 620 is provided for receiving information.
- the information includes a duration, intensity, and/or wavelength of treatment for each of the spots.
- the information includes the position and/or size of each of the spots.
- computer guidance is used for the precise application of laser delivery to the retina in which the position, energy level, and duration of laser treatment are controlled spot by spot rather than a non-specific uniform energy level grid pattern.
- the device further includes a processor 630 for creating a composite image by linking the diagnostic image to the real-time image.
- a processor 630 for creating a composite image by linking the diagnostic image to the real-time image.
- registration of the live (real-time) retinal image is obtained with the stored image data using image tracking and stabilization.
- the processor 630 also creates an annotated image by modifying the composite image based on the updated real-time image.
- the processor 630 is located in the computer 110.
- a laser 640 is provided for delivering a localized laser beam to each of the spots according to the information, the composite image, and the annotated image.

- an indicator dye locator is also provided for determining the position and/or size of the spots.
- the retinal imager 610 and laser 640 are located in the instrument 100.
- the invention can be utilized in a variety of settings to provide accurate imaging, diagnosis and treatment of lesions on a retina by accurately delivering laser energy to particular parts of the retina. For example, a physician wishing to image and treat lesions on a patient's retina would benefit by being able to compare a contemporaneous image of the lesions with previously taken images of the patient's retina prior to delivering laser energy. Also the invention can be used to diagnose and identify abnormal neovascular membranes in real-time, capture the precise location of the affected retinal tissue, and utilize the same optical pathway to precisely apply therapeutic photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Un mode de réalisation de l'invention propose un procédé qui saisit une image de diagnostic d'une rétine qui présente au moins une lésion, la lésion comprenant plusieurs taches à traiter. L'information est reçue par une interface d'utilisateur, l'information incluant la durée, l'intensité et/ou la longueur d'onde du traitement pour chacune des taches. Une image en temps réel de la rétine est saisie et une image composite est créée en reliant l'image de diagnostic à l'image en temps réel. Au moins une image de la rétine mise à jour en temps réel est obtenue en utilisant un suivi de l'oeil et/ou une stabilisation d'image et une image annotée est créée en modifiant l'image composite sur la base de l'image mise à jour en temps réel. Un faisceau laser localisé est délivré sur chacune des taches en fonction de l'information, de l'image composite et de l'image annotée.
