Digital A-scan ultrasonography used to measure ocular distances. 1977

G L van der Heijde, and A J Meinema, and M S Vlaming

Digital A-scan ultrasonography provided a digital display of intraocular distances with an overall accuracy of 0.05 mm. Since the control setting was easy and calibration was unnecessary, the time of measurement is reduced and hence the apparatus is useful in clinical practice.

D014465 Ultrasonics A subfield of acoustics dealing in the radio frequency range higher than acoustic SOUND waves (approximately above 20 kilohertz). Ultrasonic radiation is used therapeutically (DIATHERMY and ULTRASONIC THERAPY) to generate HEAT and to selectively destroy tissues. It is also used in diagnostics, for example, ULTRASONOGRAPHY; ECHOENCEPHALOGRAPHY; and ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, to visually display echoes received from irradiated tissues. Ultrasonic
