Transcending Conventional Biometry Frontiers: Diffusive Dynamics PPG Biometry

Ultrasound Frontiers: 3D Doppler, Automatic Fetal Biometry, Handheld Ultrasound

Ultrasound frontiers are infinitive and some recent developments are discussed in this review. The author aims to provide the reader with the definition of 3D Doppler and its potential clinical applications. It also describes automatic fetal biometry and discusses clinical potentials of handheld ultrasound. The rapid development of these new sonographic techniques will continue to enlarge the s...

Nonhuman Primate Ocular Biometry

PURPOSE To examine ocular growth in nonhuman primates (NHPs) from measurements on ex vivo eyes. METHODS We obtained NHP eyes from animals that had been killed as part of other studies or because of health-related issues. Digital calipers were used to measure the horizontal, vertical, and anteroposterior globe diameters as well as corneal horizontal and vertical diameters of excised globes fro...
