Topics Discussed

The overall goal of this Incubator Meeting is to chart the course forward for adaptive optics (AO) retinal imaging systems, from the perspective of clinical research, intervention monitoring, diagnosis, and clinical management. This meeting aims to bring together leading researchers, engineers, and clinicians from academia, industry, and government to meet and discuss advances, challenges and opportunities, and future trends in research, development, and applications. The meeting topics will be broken into 3 major themes: Imaging Systems, Image Metrics, and Achieving Clinical Utility.

Featured Topics

• Imaging Systems
  • What are the minimum requirements for systems and the data they generate?
  • What hurdles need to be overcome to make AO imaging sufficiently accessible?
  • How can AO images be integrated into other imaging modalities to maximize the value of the data?
• Image Metrics
  • What metrics can/should be extractable from the data (define a minimum set), within the areas of photoreceptors, blood vessels, nerve fiber, and optic disc.
  • What advances need to be made and what data needs to be generated to drive acceptance of AO imaging as a regulatory endpoint?
• Achieving Clinical Utility
  • What are the most promising potential clinical applications of AO technology, including use for diagnosis or treatment decisions, for which AO imaging may play a role or provide unique insight?
  • What needs to be done to enable the use of AO imaging to accelerate the development of therapies (including, but not limited to, pre-clinical and multi-center clinical studies)?
