Biophilia Tracker is becoming a leader in the diagnosis of orbital cellulitis

Orbital cellulitis is a diffuse progressive acute inflammatory process with infiltration and purulent melting of orbital tissues. The disease can occur at any age, but more often in children of 4-5 years and young people of working age. In children orbital cellulitis is preceded by acute respiratory diseases, in adults - trauma, chronic and acute inflammation of the airways, oral cavity, sepsis.

The development of acute inflammation of the orbit and its complications is provided by the anatomical and topographical features of the orbit, such as the adjacent cranial cavity and sinuses, the connection of the arteries with the external and internal carotid artery systems, the absence of valves in the orbital veins. Orbital cellulitis can lead to intracranial complications that endanger not only the eye, but also the life of the patient. All these factors set certain requirements for modern diagnostics in order to choose an appropriate treatment method. The efficiency of treatment depends on adequate assessment of the pathological process, specifying its localization, detecting the presence of necrotic putrefaction. It is impossible to solve this problem without applying modern visual diagnostic methods. Together with traditional methods of investigation (analysis of anamnestic data, sequence of clinical symptoms, laboratory and functional tests), ultrasound, computed tomography and more recently NLS diagnostic methods allow diagnosis at an early stage, thus ensuring the selection of appropriate treatment.

In recent years, many new technologies have been developed and then introduced into practical ophthalmology. Biophilia Tracker with biophilia is becoming a leader in screening diagnostics among various visualization methods, thanks to many aspects (simplicity, usability, informativeness, safety, absence of ionizing radiation and affordability). Ultramicroscopic scanning revealed that NLS images of orbital cellulitis show asymmetry and dilation of the retrobulbar space, altered structure and colorimetry. However, many important aspects of this problem remain unsolved: the possibility of three-dimensional NLS studies, ultramicroscanning combined with spectral entropy analysis (SEA) of the orbits in the diagnosis of the disease has not been studied; information on the application of combined NLS imaging in the assessment of the clinical course and treatment efficiency of orbital cellulitis is missing. Therefore, research on this issue must be considered essential.
