Ultrasonography In Ophthalmology 14

Proceedings of the 14th SIDUO Congress, Tokyo, Japan 1992

This book is a practical, step-by-step guide to examination techniques in ophthalmic ultrasound. It is primarily aimed at the busy ophthalmologist performing this investigation as part of the management of his or her own patient. It is also an introductory manual for ophthalmologists, radiologists, radiographers, and other health workers interested in this field, or planning to perform echography on a regular basis.

Considered the definitive text in its field, revisions of the 2nd Edition reflect the latest advances in new technologies and most recent uses of ultrasound for intraocular and orbital lesions. Additional chapters delve into the use of high resolution ultrasound in identifying inflammatory diseases, tumors and glaucoma as well as color Doppler for diagnosing vascular disease. New illustrations in examination chapters will more fully explain and demonstrate techniques making this the most comprehensive source available. Features 5 brand-new chapters: Inflammatory Diseases of the Eye, Glaucoma, Ultrasound Biomicroscopy of the Eye, Three-Dimensional Ultrasound of the Eye, and Color Doppler Imaging of the Eye and Orbit. Offers expanded discussions of axial eye length measurements-the most common use for ultrasound in ophthalmology. Includes a new, 4-page color insert that highlights color Doppler findings. Revises both information and illustrations for the most up-to-date examples in the field.

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.

Forty-eight eyes with massive periretinal proliferation were examined with ultrasonography. In addition to the triangular retinal detachment T-sign was indicative of severe MPP. And irregular thickening and bending of the retina were observed on ultrasonography in eyes with MPP. The detached retina was immobile in all eyes. Preoperative ultrasonographic findings did not prove the value on the assessment of operative prognosis. REFERENCES Bronson, N.R. & Turner, F.T. A simple B-scan uitrasonoscope. Arch.

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. Key points Fully updated, new edition providing latest advances in ophthalmic ultrasound Includes brand new section on ultrasound biomicroscopy DVD ROM image bank Previous edition published in 2006

Presents information on using echography to diagnose lesions and diseases of the eye and orbit. This edition features: techniques for diagnosing diseases of the retina, choroid, vitreous, anterior segment, optic nerve, extraocular muscles, and more. It covers basic screening procedures, as well as descriptions of the indications for ultrasound.
