🔬 Eye on Technology: B-Scan Ocular Ultrasound
A B-Scan ultrasound is a simple, painless test that uses sound waves to create a detailed image of the back of your eye. It’s especially helpful when the view is obscured or to measure and monitor growth of a lesion.
During the test, a small probe is gently placed on your closed eyelid to capture images. It isn’t painful, though you may feel slight pressure as you look in different directions so detailed images can be obtained.
📸 Why it matters:
• Detects conditions like retinal detachment and vitreous hemorrhage
• Helps evaluate tumors such as choroidal melanoma
• Allows precise measurements to guide diagnosis and treatment
• Provides critical information when the retina can’t be seen during a regular exam
Advanced imaging helps us diagnose accurately, monitor closely, and protect your vision every step of the way. 💙
