Ophthalmic ultrasonography

Abstract

Ophthalmic sonography has been practiced for more than 50 years, but it is not an area of sonography that is familiar to many physicians and sonographers. However, it can be very helpful as a means to noninvasively evaluate for specific anomalies and also assist in cases of trauma. This article has been written to describe ocular sonography and its clinical capabilities in a wide variety of settings, from an individual physician office to a busy emergency department. © The Author(s) 2014.
