8.1. Automatic saving of perimetry results into Kowa
VK Series
As well as being automatically saved to the database of this instrument upon completion of an examination, the
examination result is also automatically saved to KOWA VK Series.
In this case, the examination result images are saved to the VK system while the MD and PSD values are saved to the
applicable numeric processing software only when the performed examination is Threshold – Center 1, Threshold –
Center 2, or Isopter + Threshold.
This allows you to compare the perimetry result with other examination results, being useful for diagnosis and informed
consent. For example, since the VK system displays a fundus image and a perimetry result side by side as shown below,
you can easily grasp their correspondence. You can thereby understand whether the appearance of abnormality
coincides between the fundus image and the examination result or which abnormality precedes the other, which can be
utilized for diagnosis.
