Overview of Ultrasound Biomicroscopy

Abstract

Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) is a high-resolution ultrasound technique that allows noninvasive <i>in vivo</i> imaging of structural details of the anterior ocular segment at near light microscopic resolution and provides detailed assessment of anterior segment structures, including those obscured by normal anatomic and pathologic relations. This review gives an overview regarding the instrument, technique and its applications.
