Numerous eye diseases have been examined by means of time-amplitude ultrasonography for a period of more than ten years. A diagnostic ultrasonic examination is of great help in the following pathologic conditions: intraocular foreign body, retinal detachment, vitreous opacities, melanoma of the choroid, retrolental fibroplasia, as well as in dermoid cysts andabscesses of the anterior orbit, etc.
In my investigations, I have recently also used the EKOLINE 20 ultrasonic equipment and.. frequencies of 6 to 11 Mc. Time-amplitude ultrasonography were perfcrmed.on 7 cases.(orbitaL tumor, 2 cases of intraocular foreign body, retinal detachment & vitreous hemorrhage, eale´s. disease; intraocular tumor and vitreous hemorrhage).
In addition to a brief review of literature, Time-amplitude ultrasonography findings of 7 cases of ocular diseases have been reported.
