USG B-SCAN
Also Known As:
Ocular B-Scan Ultrasound
Ophthalmic Ultrasound
Eye Sonography
USG B-Scan is an ocular ultrasound used to visualize structures inside the eye when the view is obstructed due to cataract, corneal opacity, or vitreous hemorrhage. It helps detect retinal detachment, tumors, foreign bodies, and vitreous abnormalities. This scan is essential when routine eye examination is not possible.
Includes 4 Test Parameters
High-frequency ophthalmic ultrasound
Detect retinal detachment, hemorrhage, masses, or internal eye pathology
Retina, vitreous, optic nerve head, posterior chamber
No radiation (ultrasound-based)
Includes Test 5 Parameters
A USG B-Scan is an ultrasound test used to examine the inside of the eye when direct visualization is not possible, usually due to cataract, corneal opacity, or vitreous hemorrhage. It provides a two-dimensional cross-sectional image of the eye, helping doctors assess the retina, vitreous, optic nerve, and other internal structures.
Doctors recommend a B-scan when there is suspected retinal detachment, vitreous bleeding, eye tumors, infections, trauma, or foreign bodies inside the eye. It is also useful before cataract surgery to check the condition of the retina when the doctor cannot see it clearly.
No special preparation is needed. The patient may be asked to keep the eye closed during the scan. A gel is applied over the eyelid to help transmit sound waves, and the probe is gently moved over the closed eyelid to capture images.
The test is completely painless and safe. It does not use radiation, only sound waves, so it is suitable for all patients. Some people may feel slight coolness or pressure from the probe, but it is not uncomfortable.
The procedure usually takes about five to ten minutes. Most diagnostic centres provide the report within thirty minutes to one hour, depending on the workload and findings.
