Dynamic Ophthalmic Ultrasonography


Book Description

This video atlas is a dynamic presentation of ultrasound movements observed in the eye and orbit in various ocular conditions encountered in the clinical setting. The book shows the usual movement of a particular tissue and the possible types of motion it could manifest in various pathologic situations. A companion Website shows 180 B-scan ultrasound videos of typical and atypical ophthalmic tissue movements observed in various eye conditions in actual clinical cases. By watching the videos, the viewer becomes familiar with the intricacies of ophthalmic tissue dynamics and learns to interpret ultrasound findings in a logical manner. Several cases are included to test the reader.

Clinical Ultrasound


Book Description

This pocket manual is designed to guide medical professionals in acquiring skills in basic ultrasound imaging. It describes the most common scans performed at the patient’s bedside, specifically in the emergency department or intensive care unit. Following an overview of basic ultrasound principles, the use of this modality to visualize specific organ systems is described. In a quick-reference bulleted format, each chapter details indications, basic techniques (patient position, organ windows/views), probe placement, anatomy, pathology, pearls, and key points in ultrasound imaging. The extensive collection of images helps orient the reader in interpreting the scans, depicts anatomic landmarks, and identifies key pathologic findings for each organ system. Clinical Ultrasound: A Pocket Manual is an accessible guide to performing bedside ultrasound imaging for emergency medicine physicians, primary care physicians, critical care medicine providers, residents, and medical students.




Ultrasonography of the Eye and Orbit


Book Description

Written by well-known leaders in ophthalmic ultrasonography, this volume is a complete guide to the use of ultrasound as a primary diagnostic tool in ophthalmology. This thoroughly revised Second Edition reflects the latest developments in three-dimensional ultrasound and other advanced technologies and the expanding clinical role of ultrasound, including its use in refractive surgery, post-LASIK evaluation, and neuro-ophthalmology. Coverage includes detailed chapters on ocular diagnosis, orbital diagnosis, and very high-frequency digital ultrasound scanning in LASIK and phakic intraocular lenses. More than 200 full-color, two-color, and black-and-white illustrations complement the text. A bound-in DVD contains video clips of patient ultrasound examinations.

Ultrasound Biomicroscopy of the Eye


Book Description

The history of the use of ultrasound in medicine has been one of evolution of technology and innovative methods of applying this technology to imaging body structures. Many scientists and clinicians have contributed to this evolution. Ophthalmic ultrasound has become an indispensible tool in ophthalmic practice, with its own instrumentation and techniques. Ultrasound frequencies used in ophthalmology have generally been higher than those used in general medicine because of a requirement for higher resolution and a lesser need for deep penetration. Most ophthalmic diagnostic equipment uses frequencies in the 10 MHz range. The use of ultrasound frequencies in the 50-100 MHz range is a relatively new development in ultrasound imaging of the eye. This technique has been developed in our laboratories over the past several years. We have progressed from the theoretical description of the basic science required, past the first in-vitro experiments in eye bank eyes, to the construction of an instrument capable of clinical application. We have gained broad clinical experience with this instrument in normal patients and patients with ocular disease. A commercial instrument based on our original clinical scanner has recently become available, allowing other clinicians to apply this tool to ophthalmic research and clinical practice. We have applied the term ultrasound biomicroscopy to this new imaging technique because of similarities to optical biomicroscopy, i. e. , the observation of living tissue at microscopic resolution.
