| Summary: |
The ultrasound
biomicroscopic examination is a simple, noninvasive
method of anterior segment imaging with high-frequency
ultrasound use. It enables exact visualization of the
anatomy of peripheral eye structures with almost
histological precision. UBM is useful in diagnosing many
disorders of the anterior segment, precise biometric
measurement and visualization of peripheral eye
structures.
The authors evaluate different techniques of examination
and use of UBM in certain ophthalmologic cases such as:
intermediate uveitis, scleritis and episcleritis, cysts
and tumors of the iris, ciliary body and glaucoma. |
