Infos

Ultrasound Biomicroscopy of the Eye is a comprehensive, practical guide to a new imaging technology. The development of high frequency, high resolution ultrasound imaging has given researchers and clinicians a new tool for understanding and diagnosing disease of the anterior aspect of the eye and ocular adnexa. For the first time, subsurface ocular structures can be visualized at microscopic resolution in their normal state without violating the eye. This text is written by the authors who originated and developed the technique. Topics covered in this text include an exploration of the basic principles that made this technology possible. A practical guide to technique of examination using newly available equipment is presented. Methods of measurement and values in normals are presented. A comprehensive illustrated overview is presented of the use of this technique in various forms of ocular disease, including over 300 black and white illustrations as well as a color insert. This includes the use of this technique in corneal disease, scleral disease, intraocular lens implantation, intraocular tumors, and glaucoma.
