  • Title: Conventional diagnostic ultrasound of iris lesions.
    Author: Verbeek AM.
    Journal: Doc Ophthalmol; 1995; 90(1):43-52. PubMed ID: 8549242.
    Abstract:
    Eighty patients, referred for further evaluation of prominent iris lesions, were examined with conventional B-mode ultrasound equipment combined with a simplified immersion technique. The axial resolution of this system is about 350 microns. In 20.3% of the cases, the lesion was too small for ultrasound detection. A cystic lesion was diagnosed in 26% and a solid lesion in 53.7% of the patients studied. In 33.4% of the cases, the lesions were not confined to the iris but also appeared in the ciliary body. This last result shows the diagnostic value of the conventional ultrasound examination in the evaluation apparent iris lesions.
