B-scan or eye Ultrasound
B scan is a diagnostic criterion used in ophthalmology to provide a two-dimensional cross-sectional view of the eye and bowel. Ultrasound waves are used in this method. When there is a barrier to retinal evaluation, such as when there is severe cataract or vitreous hemorrhage, precise information about the retina can be obtained through ultrasonography. It can also be used to check the internal tumors of the eye.
