Ultrasound

Ultrasonic Biomicroscopy

[/inwave_accordion_item][inwave_accordion_item title=”What does it do?”]

The high technological content of HiScan Touch, A/B-Scan ultrasound, and UBM, enables exceptional performance in the diagnosis and measurement of anterior and posterior sections thanks to the extreme image quality, guaranteed by the use of advanced technology. It is a standalone system that uses advanced software and has a full range of probes. Thanks to its extremely high sensitivity, the 12 MHz B-Scan probe allows the acquisition of images of details of the posterior segment, especially the vitreous and orbit. HiScan Touch is the only ultrasound with an integrated system for 3D reconstruction of the anterior and posterior segments.

It is a diagnostic imaging technique that studies the structures of the eyeball and the structures adjacent to the orbit (muscles, tear gland, orbital fat, etc.) using ultrasound. Similar to ultrasounds of the abdomen or other parts of the body, an ocular ultrasound involves applying a gel to the patient's skin (in this case, the eyelid, although it can be performed directly on the eyeball) and placing the ultrasound probe in contact with the gel to obtain images.

Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) is a high-resolution ultrasound technique that allows for detailed analysis of the anterior segment of the eye, structures that are otherwise hidden because they cannot be seen by other means or equipment. Although it is a slow method compared to other techniques for studying the anterior pole, it allows for detailed analysis of the posterior chamber of the eye. It is considered a very useful technique in the implantation of phakic intraocular lenses and is essential in the study of certain anterior segment tumors. Other important uses include cases of glaucoma and their postoperative follow-up. It is also a useful technique in patients with opacity of the media, making examination of the anterior segment of the eye difficult by other means.
