Application in ultrasound

Ophthalmology (eyes)

In ophthalmology and optometry, there are two major forms of eye exam using ultrasound:

• A-scan ultrasound biometry, commonly referred to as an A-scan (short for Amplitude scan). It is an A-mode that provides data on the length of the eye, which is a major determinant in common sight disorders, especially for determining the power of an intraocular lens after cataract extraction.

• B-scan ultrasonography, or B-scan, which is a B-mode scan that produces a cross-sectional view of the eye and the orbit. It is commonly used to see inside the eye when media is hazy due to cataract or any corneal opacity.

Pulmonology (lungs)

Modern ultrasound is used to assess the lungs in a variety of settings including critical care, emergency medicine, trauma surgery, as well as internal medicine. This imaging modality is used at the bedside to evaluate a number of different lung abnormalities as well as to guide procedures such as thoracentesis, pleural drainage, needle aspiration biopsy, and catheter placement.
