Ultrasound of the eye [PDF]

Australasian Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, 2009
AbstractUltrasound of the eye is not an examination that most sonographers are commonly asked to perform, however it may be requested from time to time, particularly in regional or rural areas. This paper hopes to assist the sonographer to gain an understanding of the anatomical and sonographic anatomy of the eye in order to diagnose several common ...
