Summary

Assessment of the feasibility of achieving retinal imaging in older people with recent hips fracture surgery using hand held optical coherence tomography device

Detailed description

Optical coherent tomography (OCT) is a device used to achieve cross-sectional imaging of tissues. It is often used in ophthalmology and also has application in dermatology, cardiology and other specialities. Usually, in adults, a table-top device is used necessitating the transfer of patients to the location of the device. In children a hand held device is used meaning the device can be taken to the patients' location. To facilitate/ help design a future study, this study's aim is to assess the feasibility of achieving retinal imaging in older people who are recovering from hip fracture surgery using a hand held device.
