Operational Transition from the First-Generation Heidelberg Spectralis Optical Coherence Tomography [OCT(“OCT1”)] to the Second-Generation Heidelberg Spectralis OCT(“OCT2”)

Abstract: The Heidelberg Spectralis “OCT2”, which recently became commercially available, is going to be implemented at the Johnson Space Center Flight Medicine Clinic and on board the International Space Station. Due to the increased scan rate of the “OCT2”, this upgrade will allow for significant reduction in valuable crew testing time and also allow for additional capabilities, like OCT Angiography and Multi-Color Fundus Imaging. Due to the custom scans used to monitor Space Flight-Associated Neuro-…
