A Novel Technique for Anterior Segment Imaging Using B-scan Ultrasonography When Ultrasound Biomicroscopy Is Unavailable.

Abstract

Ultrasound biomicroscopy offers high-resolution images of anterior segment anatomy, essential for determining surgical intervention in special circumstances, yet is sometimes unavailable. The authors describe a novel technique to obtain gross anterior segment visualization using a commonly available instrument, B-scan ultrasonography, and compare it to ultrasound biomicroscopy imaging from two pediatric cases.
