Article Synopsis
- Manual adjustment of laser power in retinal therapies is inefficient and can lead to inconsistent treatment effects, while automatic temperature control ensures uniform heating across different areas, which is vital for safe procedures.
- Utilizing a model predictive controller and an extended Kalman filter, real-time temperature monitoring enhances the precision of retinal laser treatments on porcine eye explants.
- The results indicate that the closed-loop control approach not only maintains consistent lesion sizes despite varying tissue absorption but also minimizes the risks of over- and undertreatment, showcasing its potential to improve retinal therapies for various conditions.
Purpose: Subdamaging thermal retinal laser therapy has the potential to induce regenerative stimuli in retinal diseases, but validated dosimetry is missing. Real-time optoacoustic temperature determination and control could close this gap. This study investigates a first in vivo application.
