Pentacam: Principle and Clinical Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rotating Scheimpflug imaging technology is used by instruments such as the Pentacam (Oculus) to measure the anterior and posterior corneal surfaces, as well as other anterior segment structures. Initially, Scheimpflug photography was used to obtain images of lens opacities for objective evaluation, but Pentacam-Scheimpflug camera is much wider in its clinical applications as a diagnostic tool for not only corneal diseases like keratoconus but cataract and refractive surgeons as well as glaucomatologists than the Scheimpflug photography alone. Its applications are growing everyday and its utility is till date unsurpassable in a busy anterior segment ophthalmic practice.

Anterior chamber depth measurement: interchangeability between Pentacam and other devices
We reviewed a series of recently published studies in which the anterior chamber depth (ACD) distance was measured by Pentacam or Pentacam HR and compared with other measuring devices. Since some published studies reach contradictory conclusions regarding device interchangeability and include di erent ocular conditions, for instance, phakic eyes, pseudophakic eyes, cataractous eye, and so on, t...

Background : Posterior corneal elevation changes are keys to early diagnosis of corneal ectasia after keratorefractive surgery, so it is important to use an accurate method for measuring posterior corneal elevation. The purpose of this study is investigating posterior corneal elevation changes with Pentacam(HR) on patients underwent photorefractive keratectomy. Methods: In this clinical tri...
متن کامل$(varphi_1, varphi_2)$-variational principle
In this paper we prove that if $X $ is a Banach space, then for every lower semi-continuous bounded below function $f, $ there exists a $left(varphi_1, varphi_2right)$-convex function $g, $ with arbitrarily small norm, such that $f + g $ attains its strong minimum on $X. $ This result extends some of the well-known varitional principles as that of Ekeland [On the variational principle, J. Ma...
