A-scan ultrasound biometry - Wikipedia
WEBA-scan ultrasound biometry, commonly referred to as an A-scan (short for Amplitude scan), uses an ultrasound instrument for diagnostic testing. [1] A-scan biometry measures the axial length (AL) of the eye prior to cataract surgery in order to assess the refractive power of the intraocular lens that will be implanted.
A-Scan Biometry: Principles of Ultrasound
WEBJan 29, 2011 · A-scan ultrasonography remains the standard technique for measuring axial length in IOL power calculation. In this series of videos, Sandra Frazier Byrne discusses the principles of A-scan ultrasound, demonstrates the applanation and immersion methods, and explains how to manage difficult situations and common errors.

Ultrasound Vs. Optical Biometry - OphthalmologyWeb
WEBMay 16, 2011 · The most accurate form of ultrasound-based axial length measurement is a vector A/B scan. The B-scan runs through the optic nerve and the center of the macula while a simultaneous A-scan is performed. Perhaps the biggest advantage of ultrasound biometry units is the cost.
Optical Biometry - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf
WEBApr 17, 2023 · Ocular biometry refers to the measurement of anatomical dimensions of the eye, which include corneal curvature (keratometry), axial length, and anterior chamber depth. These measurements are primarily used to calculate the appropriate power of the intraocular lens (IOL) to be implanted during cataract surgery.
Looking for a new biometer? Here’s what you need to know
WEBWhat to consider in a new biometer. There are different technologies that achieve biometry measurements via different principles, such as partial coherence interferometry (PCI) or optical low-coherence reflectometry (OLCR). One of the newer options is swept-source OCT (SS-OCT).
