Ocular Ultrasonography (B. Scan) In Mehsana
Description Netralayam Eye Hospital Ocular Ultrasonography (B. Scan) In Mehsana
Overview of Ocular Ultrasonography (B-Scan)
Dr.Jay Trivedi at Netralayam Eye Hospital in Mehsana specializes in Ocular Ultrasonography (B-Scan), a diagnostic method that makes use of ultrasound waves to create cross-sectional pics of the eye.
During the B-Scan manner, a small hand held probe, known as a transducer, is placed at the floor of the closed eyelid or in contact with a coupling gel carried out to the eye. The transducer emits excessive-frequency sound waves that travel thru the eye and mirror off internal systems. These reflections are then converted into specific pix that illustrate the anatomy of the retina, choroid, and different posterior segments of the eye.
B-Scan imaging is specifically precious for visualizing and diagnosing conditions that may not be detectable via different imaging strategies, presenting critical insights for powerful treatment making plans. Dr. Trivedi’s know-how guarantees that patients get hold of correct exams and tailored care for their ocular fitness.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for B-Scan
Vision Loss: Sudden or unexplained vision loss or changes.
Opaque Media: Dense cataracts, vitreous hemorrhage, or other conditions that obstruct direct view of the retina.
Suspected Tumors: Detection and assessment of intraocular tumors or foreign bodies.
Retinal Detachment: Evaluation of the retina when a detachment is suspected.
Uveitis: Assessment of the extent of inflammation and associated complications.
Trauma: Evaluation of eye injuries or damage to the eye structures.
Treatment and Management
Preparation: There is usually no special preparation required for a B-Scan. Patients are generally advised to remove contact lenses and may be asked to keep their eyes closed during the procedure.
During the Procedure: The patient sits comfortably, and a gel is applied to the closed eyelid or the probe is placed in contact with the eye. The technician or ophthalmologist moves the probe gently to capture the necessary images
Post-Procedure Care: There is no recovery time needed, and patients can resume normal activities immediately. The gel may be wiped off, and any temporary discomfort or blurriness should resolve shortly
Ocular Ultrasonography (B. Scan)
Description
Ocular Ultrasonography (B-Scan) employs ultrasound waves to create cross-sectional images of the eye. During the procedure, a small, handheld probe called a transducer is placed on the surface of the closed eyelid or in contact with a coupling gel applied to the eye. The transducer emits high-frequency sound waves that travel through the eye and reflect off internal structures. These reflections are then converted into images that display the anatomy of the retina, choroid, and other posterior segments of the eye. B-Scan imaging helps in visualizing and diagnosing conditions that may not be visible through other imaging methods.
