The history of the use of ultrasound in medicine has been one of evolution of technology and innovative methods of applying this technology to imaging body structures. Many scientists and clinicians have contributed to this evolution. Ophthalmic ultrasound has become an indispensible tool in ophthalmic practice, with its own instrumentation and techniques. Ultrasound frequencies used in ophthalmology have generally been higher than those used in general medicine because of a requirement for higher resolution and a lesser need for deep penetration. Most ophthalmic diagnostic equipment uses frequencies in the 10 MHz range. The use of ultrasound frequencies in the 50-100 MHz range is a relatively new development in ultrasound imaging of the eye. This technique has been developed in our laboratories over the past several years. We have progressed from the theoretical description of the basic science required, past the first in-vitro experiments in eye bank eyes, to the construction of an instrument capable of clinical application. We have gained broad clinical experience with this instrument in normal patients and patients with ocular disease. A commercial instrument based on our original clinical scanner has recently become available, allowing other clinicians to apply this tool to ophthalmic research and clinical practice. We have applied the term ultrasound biomicroscopy to this new imaging technique because of similarities to optical biomicroscopy, i. e. , the observation of living tissue at microscopic resolution.

Considered the definitive text in its field, revisions of the 2nd Edition reflect the latest advances in new technologies and most recent uses of ultrasound for intraocular and orbital lesions. Additional chapters delve into the use of high resolution ultrasound in identifying inflammatory diseases, tumors and glaucoma as well as color Doppler for diagnosing vascular disease. New illustrations in examination chapters will more fully explain and demonstrate techniques making this the most comprehensive source available.

This book provides a visual overview of how to master ultrasonography and ultrasound biomicroscopy techniques. Updated ultrasonic information is included in a simple brief way, featuring didactic points, with a variety of documented scans and illustrated lines underneath for more clarification. Each pathology is accompanied with several scans of different findings to give more information of distinct detections. Ophthalmic Ultrasonography and Ultrasound Biomicroscopy: A Clinical Guide examines many clinical complexities with possible solutions when performing and interpreting ultrasound while also breaking down information for easier intake. The clinical cases are from a specialist eye hospital where many complicated cases are treated, giving a unique insight for the reader to understand treatment for a variety of cases. The book also emphasises the importance of everyday cases with further explanation whilst utilising a diversity of pictures and labels.

This book presents a new avenue in the field of ophthalmology and sheds light on the field of eye imaging. With the increasing availability of electronic devices and their important role in both personal and professional aspects of human life, there is a growing need for perfect vision. Ophthalmic imaging is a major tool for screening and documenting eye diseases in both medical and surgical fields of ophthalmology and is also of use for ophthalmologists around the globe. The number of eye-imaging devices has increased dramatically, however undiagnosed or poorly managed eye diseases remain a significant cause of ocular and visual problems worldwide. This essential guide addresses the need for a book that is dedicated to ophthalmic imaging, covering the cornea, glaucoma, retina and orbital imaging with updates on medical and surgical aspects of the topic.

Vorrangig werden radiologische und Ultraschallverfahren vorgestellt. Komplexere Bildgebungsverfahren wie Computertomographie und MRT werden ebenfalls präsentiert. Das Referenzwerk enthält mehr als 1.750 hochwertige Abbildungen und ist eine wahre Fundgrube für Veterinärmediziner, die sich insbesondere auf die Behandlung von Katzen spezialisiert haben. Feline Diagnostic Imaging beschäftigt sich zunächst mit der Auswertung von unauffälligen und pathologischen Röntgenaufnahmen des Thorax, Abdomens und des Bewegungsapparats. Im Anschluss werden Diagnosen aus gängigen echokardiographischen und Ultraschalluntersuchungen erläutert. Auch beschreibt das Referenzwerk bildgebende Untersuchungen des Schädels mittels Computertomographie sowie Gehirn- und Wirbelsäulenerkrankungen, die über ein MRT erkannt werden können. - Präsentiert bildgebende Techniken und konzentriert sich dabei auf die Anforderungen bei der Untersuchung von Katzen. - Legt den Schwerpunkt auf gängige Verfahren, behandelt aber auch komplexere Bildgebungstechniken. - Gibt einen vollständigen Überblick über diagnostischen Imaging-Verfahren bei Katzen. - Mit einer Fülle von Tipps und Tricks für die Behandlung von Katzen. - Ein Muss für Veterinärmediziner, die sich auf Katzen spezialisiert haben. Feline Diagnostic Imaging legt in einzigartiger Weise der Fokus auf Katzen und ist daher ein Muss für Veterinärmediziner, die ihre Kompetenzen bei diagnostischen Bildgebungsverfahren verbessern möchten. Das Buch eignet sich ebenfalls hervorragend für Fachtierärzte für Radiologie, Studenten der Veterinärmedizin und Kliniker.
