Translation of "Photokoagulation" in English

In addition photocoagulation is used in relation to retinal holes and retina detachments.

The aim of photocoagulation is the thermal denaturation of proteins and tissue.

The current treatment strategies are surgery, photocoagulation and antiproliferative medical therapy.

The device has special patterns for quicker and safer photocoagulation.

The commencing photocoagulation of the tissue leads to pressure changes and deviations from the expected pressure configuration without a phase transition.

The clinical safety and efficacy of Lucentis in patients with PDR have been assessed in Protocol S which evaluated the treatment with ranibizumab 0.5 mg intravitreal injections compared with panretinal photocoagulation (PRP).

In photocoagulation however the tissue properties are modified at incipient denaturing of the target tissue, whereby the pressure amplitudes induced by the measurement radiations are also influenced.

The laser treatment is divided into panretinal photocoagulation, which requires 2-3 sessions for the treatment to be applying to all the fundus of the eye, except for the central area and focal laser, which is applied to diabetic macular edema in order to reduce it.

The character, the degree and the cause of development of the electroretinographical changes following the photocoagulation is not well cleared up.

Photocoagulation as a primary therapy was discontinued. Transpupillary Thermotherapy alone or in combination with plaque therapy, has been developed in the last years.

Conclusion: The current findings indicate that PEDF may play a critical role in the remission of intraocular neovascularization after photocoagulation.

The apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein it is of a configuration for implementing photocoagulation at the fundus of an eye, in particular at the RPE.

The periodic control of the radiation source 1 is continued until the switch-off criterion, which is determined through the photocoagulation, is reached and the coagulation process is controlledly terminated by the system control 10 .

The periodic control of the laser is preferably continued until the switch-off criterion, which is determined by the produced photocoagulation, is reached and the coagulation process is controlledly terminated.

The therapeutic laser application to the eyeground, in particular in the case of retinal diseases, to achieve photocoagulation at the retina, is known.

Lasers whose pulsed treatment radiation is in the green wavelength range are primarily used as treatment lasers in photocoagulation.

In the case of diabetic retinopathy panretinal photocoagulation, with the macula being cut out, is used, in which the treatment is performed over a large area with some hundred to over a thousand coagulation spots.

Because of different pigmentations in the eye the temperatures produced in the photocoagulation operation however may fluctuate to a greater or lesser degree.

After this modulation cycle and no later than the end of the cycle duration determined through the repetition, the laser pumping source is controlled continuously at the level required for the photocoagulation (e.g., for a laser output power of 2 W) until a new modulation cycle begins.

U.S. 2008/243108 A1 discloses a therapeutic laser system for photocoagulation or iridotomy, that for the purpose of providing a beam profile with uniform (“top-hat”) or slightly annular intensity distribution with at the same time selectable spot diameter on the tissue to be treated, provides an additional device with a plurality of diffractive optical elements (“diffraction optical elements”, DOE).

Given the preceding parameters, working beams 20 . 1 and 20 . 2 are suited for different ophthalmological applications, such as photocoagulation, photodynamic therapy (PDT), transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT), photothermal tumor treatment, etc.

Therein, photocoagulation represents an important method of treatment wherein the fundus of the eye, also referred to as fundus, is coagulated or sclerosed.

This also includes measuring systems as parts of ophthalmological therapy systems, e.g., those for photocoagulation on the retina or laser treatment for a refractive correction.
