# Ophthalmic AI Software Modules ZEISS Medical Technology's Receives Approval for CIRRUS PathFinder By Kalin Ned | Published 2025-08-21 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zeiss-medical-technology References: [newswire](https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/zeiss-announces-ce-mark-for-cirrus-pathfinder-ai-tool-with-automated-oct-assessment-806676466.html)  [ZEISS Medical Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ophthalmic-technology) has received CE mark approval for an artificial intelligence software module — CIRRUS PathFinder — which was designed to function as an integrated diagnostic aid within its existing ophthalmic imaging systems. This tool utilizes proprietary [deep learning algorithms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/image-reconstruction) to automatically analyze [optical coherence tomography scans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mediwhale) of the macula, specifically flagging B-scans that display potential abnormalities for further clinician review. ZEISS Medical Technology's software is presented as a workflow enhancement, aiming to increase the efficiency and confidence of eye care professionals by processing hundreds of scans in real-time without requiring data export to external platforms. The update also includes improvements to OCT angiography image quality through AI-enhanced visualization and B-scan averaging, alongside expanded multi-layer segmentation capabilities. Furthermore, the release incorporates upgraded cybersecurity protocols and an expanded reference database.
