Value of high-frequency ultrasound biomicroscopy in uveitis

Anterior segment biometry using ultrasound biomicroscopy and the Artemis-2 very high frequency ultrasound scanner

PURPOSE To compare the precision of anterior chamber angle (ACA) and anterior chamber depth (ACD) measurements taken with ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and the Artemis-2 Very High Frequency Ultrasound Scanner (VHFUS) in normal subjects. DESIGN Prospective study. METHODS We randomly selected one eye from each of 59 normal subjects in this study. Two subjects dropped out of the study; the as...

Advances in ultrasound biomicroscopy.

The visualisation of living tissues at microscopic resolution is attracting attention in several fields. In medicine, the goals are to image healthy and diseased tissue with the aim of providing information previously only available from biopsy samples. In basic biology, the goal may be to image biological models of human disease or to conduct longitudinal studies of small-animal development. H...

Overview of Ultrasound Biomicroscopy

Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) is a high-resolution ultrasound technique that allows noninvasive in vivo imaging of structural details of the anterior ocular segment at near light microscopic resolution and provides detailed assessment of anterior segment structures, including those obscured by normal anatomic and pathologic relations. This review gives an overview regarding the instrument, tec...

Ultrasound Biomicroscopy in Glaucoma

The advent of the ultrasound biomicroscope (UBM) has made high resolution imaging of the anterior segment possible, permitting reproducible imaging of the cross-sectional anterior chamber angle anatomy. This article gives an outline of normal angle anatomy, technique of UBM and reviews the various applications of the UBM for glaucoma and illustrates how it can be a useful tool in the management...
