FAQs

B-scan ultrasonography is commonly used to provide a cross-sectional image of the internal structures of the eye. It is often used to measure tumours, or to detect retinal or choroidal detachment. It is also used when the view of the retina is obscured and can not be examined clearly, such as in cases of vitreous haemorrhage, dense cataract, or in trauma patients. The technique is very quick to perform, non-invasive, and completely safe.
