AO for assessing microvascular diseases

 

Registration to this webinar is now closed

During this 30-min roundtable discussion, 3 clinical experts shared their experience and vision about the use of adaptive optics (AO) for micron-precision assessments of retinal vasculature.

They discussed their explorations at leading centers in ophthalmology and cardiology, that use rtx1 AO cameras in large cohorts of patients.

 

About our guests:

Michel Paques, MD-PhD, is professor of ophthalmology and researcher at Quinze Vingts National Ophthalmology Hospital and  Vision Institute, Paris. His focus is on medical applications of high resolution in vivo retinal imaging in humans. He pioneered the development of cell-specific imaging using SLO, and the application of adaptive optics ophthalmoscopy for a variety of retinal diseases.

Antonio Gallo, MD-PhD, is a doctor in internal medicine at Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, Paris, and researcher in the field of cardiovascular prevention. His research is focused on translational approaches for improving cardiovascular risk prediction. This involves genomics, proteomics and non-invasive vascular imaging. For his PhD thesis he studied retinal microvascular remodeling in cardiometabolic disease.

Daniela Castro-Farias, MD-MSc, is an ophthalmologist with a clinical and surgical retina specialty who graduated from Instituto de Oftalmología Conde de Valenciana, Mexico City. She currently works at Quinze Vingts National Ophthalmology Hospital in Paris. Her recent projects involved adaptive optics retinal imaging for neurovascular coupling assessment in Cadasil patients.
