Performing Exams Macula Scans
Macula Scans The macula can be scanned with the Accutome B-Scan
Plus in several ways. Two of the ways are a Horizontal
(HMAC) and a Longitudinal (LMAC) scan.
Horizontal Macula
The Horizontal Macula scan is accomplished by first
aligning a horizontal axial scan and centering the macula
by aiming the slice directly above the visual axis, rather
than tilting nasally. The marker should be aimed at 3:00
for the right eye (OD) and at 9:00 for the left eye (OS).
Longitudinal Macula
The Longitudinal Macula scan is a scan through the
temporal meridian. The marker should be aimed at 9:00
for the right eye (OD) and at 3:00 for the left eye (OS).
Labeling Macula Scans
The Accutome B-Scan Plus makes labeling macula
scans as simple as selecting HMAC (Horizontal MACula)
or LMAC (Longitudinal MACula) and then selecting
either the right eye (OD) or left eye (OS).
When you label a scan view as a macula scan and select
either OD or OS, the Accutome B-Scan Plus
automatically positions the clock arrow indicator at the
right hour.
