Doheny Eye Institute

Stereomed was invited to participate in an experimental program aimed at reducing the amount of interpretation time necessary to determine the difference between "dimples" or polyps as viewed from electro-photographs taken of the inside of the eye.

In the past, two-dimensional photos had been the only option and successive photos were necessary to determine which of the two options were present. Stereomed multiplexing technology was connected to the image-stream and instead of many photographic scans just two were required. Each image was interlaced field-sequentially and viewed on CRT monitors with electronic liquid-crystal glasses. The differences were recognized immediately thus saving hours of study and interpretation.

Stereoscopic electro-photography has remained a major diagnostic tool for clinical studies.
