Combined A- and B-scan echography. Preoperative evaluation of vitrectomy patients. 1977

F Bigar, and C Bosshard, and R Klöti, and H Tschopp

The preoperative ultrasound evaluation of vitrectomy patients is of great value. The combined use of an optimized and standardized A-scan and B-contact scan echography gives good results. While the A-scan echography gives information about the quantitative and kinetic characteristics of the examined structures, B-scan echography demonstrates, in addition, the shape and topographic relationship of the investigated structures. The combination of A-scan and B-scan echography is not time-consuming and does not inconvenience the patient as does the use of an immersion water bath. The results of 105 echographically evaluated vitrectomy patients are presented.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D012163 Retinal Detachment Separation of the inner layers of the retina (neural retina) from the pigment epithelium. Retinal detachment occurs more commonly in men than in women, in eyes with degenerative myopia, in aging and in aphakia. It may occur after an uncomplicated cataract extraction, but it is seen more often if vitreous humor has been lost during surgery.

D014463 Ultrasonography The visualization of deep structures of the body by recording the reflections or echoes of ultrasonic pulses directed into the tissues. Use of ultrasound for imaging or diagnostic purposes employs frequencies ranging from 1.6 to 10 megahertz.

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
D014822 Vitreous Body The transparent, semigelatinous substance that fills the cavity behind the CRYSTALLINE LENS of the EYE and in front of the RETINA. It is contained in a thin hyaloid membrane and forms about four fifths of the optic globe.
