“Global Impact and innovation with TowardPi 400kHz OCT” from Dr. Jian Zhou, Vice President of Medical.
“TowardPi is originated from China. We commercialized the world's first 400kHz speed OCTA ( ) around 2020.
In China, ultra-widefiled OCTA has entered the guideline consensus of ophthalmic societies for diseases like DR and RVO.
Today it is widely used. Easy to use and powerful at the same time.
TowardPi OCT is a device that meets both scientific research and clinical needs.
The evaluations (from global experts) are great encouragement to our R&D teams.
TowardPi is not simply an OCT manufacturer, there will be more powerful ophthalmic devices coming soon with top-end technologies and inventions!”

Cellular-level macular characteristic of FEVR revealed by multimodal imaging！
Research recently published in investigated the characteristics of macular development at a cellular level in patients with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) without foveal hypoplasia (FH) using multimodal imaging.
A 400kHz UWF speed full range swept source OCTA ( , TowardPi Medical) was used in this study to acquire 24mm x 20mm high-resolution OCTA images of FEVR patients. Detailed retinal thickness and vessel density were analyzed focused on macula with built-in AI segmentation algorithm, providing novel insights into macular development in patients with FEVR. Although all patients represented normally developed macular foveas, FEVR eyes with normal BCVA showed highly asymmetrical irregular FAZ zone with distorted edges, particularly in the deep capillary plexus (DCP). A tendency of thickening inner retina layers and thinning outer nuclear layer in parafovea area was also noticed, as well as lower vessel density of DCP. AO-SLO discovered irregular cone distribution, exhibiting lower foveal and higher parafoveal cone densities.
This research is authored by Dr. Yarou Hu, etc. team of Prof. Guoming Zhang from Shenzhen Eye Hospital.

Crossing the “antipodes”, TowardPi travels 20,000 kilometers to the farthest end of the Earth✈️

“Antipodes” refers to two points on opposite ends of the Earth. 12 time zones apart, opposite day and night, reversed seasons, 20,000 km minor great-circle distance.

TowardPi’s Global Business Center is located in Shanghai, China (31°N, 121°E). Its antipodal city is Concordia, Argentina (31°S, 58°W), a lovely place with 180,000 residents.

Recently, two TowardPi OCT BMizar (400kHz speed) have been purchased and installed consecutively in beautiful Concordia at Clínica Razzari and Instituto Oftalmológico Dr. Álvarez.

“From Concordia, Argentina — nearly the farthest point on the map from China, we chose BMizar because its imaging depth, clarity, and analytical power clearly outperformed the alternatives, proving that clinical quality has no borders.” - Dr. Armando Horacio Razzari.

“When evaluating new diagnostic equipment, we selected TowardPi’s BMizar as the most advanced OCTA system available at the time; although it represented a significant investment and TowardPi is a relatively new brand from China Asia, we felt confident moving forward based on OMNI SRL’s expertise and long-standing reputation in the national OCT market.” – Dr. Héctor Eugenio Álvarez.

“The delivery of orders to Earth’s antipodal point signifies that TowardPi’s devices have reached the farthest accessible distance on our planet’s surface. It marks how our equipment is now spreading across the globe.” - Dr. Jian Zhou (VP Global, TowardPi Medical).

Since its international launch just over a year ago, TowardPi’s devices have rapidly expanded into more than 40 countries, establishing a presence across all five continents.

Retinal vascular features of Beta-Thalassemia captured by UWF full range SS-OCTA！
A 14-year-old girl presented with bilateral vision loss for 3 months was diagnosed as Beta-thalassemia by genetic testing. Ultra-widefield SS-OCTA images revealed extensive nonperfusion areas involving macular area in her both eyes. High-resolution ultra-widefield OCT B-scan images showed clearly hyperreflective inner retina in macula with absence of flow signals, demonstrating the ischemia retinal tissue corresponding to the nonperfusion areas. This patient underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and long-term monitor of retinal perfusion.
This case was published in , authored by Dr. Xinyu Zhao, etc. team of Prof. Guoming Zhang from Shenzhen Eye Hospital.
A 400kHz speed swept source OCTA ( , TowardPi Medical) was used in this case to reveal details of retinal vasculatures with exquisite resolution in an ultra-wide field, providing a convenient and effective method for early diagnosis, decision making and long-term disease management.

PVD may systematically influence neovascularization of PDR studied by UWF full range SS-OCTA！
Research recently published in investigated the association between posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) and the progression of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) by analyzing the morphological evolution of neovascularization (NV) across PVD stages using a UWF full range SS-OCTA.
PVD stages and NV morphology were assessed and quantitatively analyzed. The results revealed that NV in early stage of PVD exhibited a significantly highly intricate and extensive structure and greater viability. In contrast, NV in stage 4 PVD (complete PVD) tended to be a simplified and localized architecture, indicating that PVD status might systematically influence the NV activity and complexity. This study provided morphological insights into the role of PVD in PDR patients.
A 400kHz speed swept source OCTA ( , TowardPi Medical) was used in this study for high-resolution visualization of the status of PVD and quantitative parameters of NV including vessel area, vessel density and so on with the assistance of built-in AI technology on device.
This study is authored by Dr. Zikang Xu, etc. team of Prof. Liang Zhang and Prof. Xuenan Zhuang from Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital.

Relationship between age, AL and choroidal vasculature characteristics revealed by UWF full range SS-OCTA!
Research published on evaluated the features of choroidal Sattler’s and Haller’s layer (CSHL) vessels in adults and explore its relationship with age, axial length (AL) and body mass index (BMI) in normal adults by using UUWF full range SS-OCTA.
The results indicated that choroidal vessel index (CVI) could be a more stable parameter for describing choroidal medium and large-sized vessels compared to choroidal vessel volume (CVV). Higher CVI was associated with younger age and shorter AL. Meanwhile, longer AL was associated with attenuated CVV. Neither CVI nor CVV has association with BMI.
A 400kHz speed swept source OCTA ( , TowardPi Medical) was used in this study to visualized and quantify vasculature of choroidal Sattler’s and Haller’s layer in ultra-widefield with built-in AI segmentation algorithm. 3D-CVI and CVV can be quantified easily on device.

“Vascular diseases diagnosis in one scan” Dr. Ali Erginay from Hôpital Lariboisière, Paris, France, talks about TowardPi.

“From cornea to choroid, involves the whole eye.
It can replace FFA and, in some cases, even ICG.
With a single scan, you can make a diagnosis, assess the severity of the pathology, and choose the appropriate treatment.
It’s a complete machine—you can do everything with it.”
