| Summary: |
Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM)
is a high resolution ultrasound technique developed by
Pavlin and co-authors in 1992. UBM uses high-frequency
ultrasound for anterior segment imaging. It enables many
disorders diagnosis including glaucoma, cysts and tumors
of the ciliary body and iris, scleritis and episcleritis,
posttraumatic lesions etc.
The slit-lamp optical coherence tomography (SL-OCT) is a
new, non-contact diagnostic tool, enabling biometric and
morphological anterior segment evaluation. Its’
operating principle is based on a fusion of the
slit-lamp examination and optical coherence tomography,
using the 1310 nm superluminescent diode laser beam. The
main field of SL-OCT application is glaucoma diagnostics.
It enables the non-invasive gonioscopy examination (including
the functional angle evaluation in scotopic and photopic
conditions), pachymetry, several anterior chamber
measurements, determining iris configuration and
evaluation of laser and surgical procedures efficacy in
glaucoma. |
