Abstract

Ocular structure can be properly evaluated by clinical inspection, ophthalmoscopy, and slit-lamp examination. B-scan ultrasonography is an important adjuvant especially in opaque media for the clinical assessment of various ocular and orbital diseases. Ultrasonography or B-mode scan may be used to rule out retinal, vitreous, and choroidal detachments, tumors, and other pathologies that affect the posterior segment of the eye. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.
