Abstract:
Numerous eye diseases have been examined by means of time-amplitude ultrasonography for a period of more than ten years. A diagnostic ultrasonic examination is of great help in the following pathologic conditions: intraocular foreign body, retinal detachment, vitreous opacities, melanoma of the choroid, retrolental fibrorlasia, as well as in dermoid cysts and abscesses of the anterior orbit, etc. In my investigations, I have reeently also used the EKOLINE 20 ultrasonic equipment and frequencies of 6 to 11 Mc. Time-amplitude ultrasonography were performed on 7 cases (orbital tumor, 2 cases of intraocular foreign body, retinal detachment and vitreous hemorrhage, eale's disease, intraocular tumor and vitreous hemorrhage). In addition to a brief review of literature, Time-amplitude ultrasonography findings of 7 cases of ocular diseases have been reported.
