Description
Simple image management at your fingertips
The VK-2 digital imaging software easily captures and stores retinal photographs taken from Kowa retinal cameras well as images from other sources including a scanner. Video inputs via USB or IEEE1394 (Firewire®) are supported with 1-click switching between instruments. Images can be magnified for viewing and filters such as red free are readily available. In ICG and FA mode the patient timer is displayed on screen and multiple timers are available in FA mode for managing several patients. When used in combination with the Kowa perimeter the software allows integrated management of fundus images and perimetry results. A montage function creates panoramic views from multiple fundus images. The movie maker function allows you to assess whether the patient eye is changing over time by simply selecting 3 images from previous tests and play as a looped movie. Whilst the unique detailed database viewer enables you to customise the header and footer of your report to include your clinic details.
