B-Scan Ultrasound

B-Scan ultrasound is most useful when direct visualization of intraocular structures is difficult or impossible. Situations that prevent normal examination include lid problems, severe edema, corneal opacities, dense cataracts or hemorrhage. In such cases, diagnostic B-scan ultrasound can give valuable information on the status of the vitreous and retina.
