Clinical Atlas Of Ophthalmic Ultrasound

There have been significant advancements in the field of ophthalmic ultrasound as this imaging technology can now detect and differentiate minute lesions in a wide variety of eye disorders. With understanding of the indications for ultrasonography and proper examination techniques, one can gather a vast amount of information not possible with a clinical exam alone. Clinical Atlas of Ophthalmic Ultrasound includes a short clinical description of each case presented and supplemented with high quality, color fundus images, wide-field images, CT/MRI scans, and/or pathologic slides where applicable. Written for ophthalmologists, radiologists, echographers, and ophthalmic oncologists, this book offers more of a comprehensive clinical view on a particular disease, including multimodal imaging approach, rather than just ultrasound characteristics. Chapters covering clinical and surgical globe anatomy, vitreo-retinal disease, trauma, intraocular tumors, and optic nerve disorders are all included.

The new edition of this atlas has been fully updated to provide practising ophthalmologists and residents with the latest advances in ophthalmic ultrasound. Divided into ten sections, the atlas begins with an introduction to imaging techniques and interpretation, followed by in depth examination of ultrasound for the diagnosis and management of ocular diseases and disorders, including vitreoretinal diseases, trauma, infections and inflammations, tumours, congenital disorders, lesions, and optic nerve disorders. A complete section is dedicated to surgical considerations. This second edition has a completely new section on ultrasound biomicroscopy, and features numerous colour fundus photographs, ultrasound illustrations and external photos, as well as CT scans and MRI scans of the orbit. A DVD ROM image bank is also included.

This book presents the latest information on using echography to diagnose lesions and diseases of the eye and orbit. This edition is fully updated, with a new chapter on orbital disease and coverage of the 20-MHz probe for posterior segment imaging. It provides a comprehensive review of the basic screening procedures, descriptions of the indications for ultrasound, and guidance on how to reach an accurate diagnosis of both common and rare clinical problems in all areas of the eye. Features: Techniques for diagnosing diseases of the retina, choroid, vitreous, anterior segment, optic nerve, extraocular muscles, and more More than 550 high-quality images, including an expanded collection of anterior segment images, that aid the comprehension of pathology and disease processes Three-dimensional schematics demonstrating sound beam and probe positions on the eye Extensive lists of references for pursuing topics in depth Ophthalmic Ultrasound: A Diagnostic Atlas will provide an invaluable reference for ophthalmologists, ultrasonographers, and radiologists.

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.

The second editon of this popular ultrasound book expands the reader's understanding of the clinical applications of ocular ultrasound through a case study approach. With the addition of high-quality video segments of examination techniques not currently available in any other format, this edition appeals to a broader range of practitioners in the field by presenting the subject starting at the basic level and progressing to the advanced. The book is appealing to practitioners involved in ocular ultrasound, including ophthalmic technicians, ophthalmologists, optometrists, radiologists and emergency room physicians who, on occasion, are involved in the practice of ophthalmic ultrasound.
