Dr. Pushkar Dhir presented on the history and principles of B-scan ultrasonography. B-scans were first used in the 1950s and 1960s to image the eye and orbit. A B-scan unit consists of a pulser, receiver, display screen, and transducer. The transducer emits high frequency sound waves that reflect off structures in the eye at different intensities depending on density and orientation. Proper technique and transducer placement are important for high quality images. B-scans can be used to evaluate a variety of pathologies by examining features like shape, location, mobility and internal reflectivity of lesions. Correlating B-scan findings with clinical examination is essential for accurate diagnosis.
