Ophthalmic Ultrasound Scanner Marvel B-Scan
Advanced Internal Imaging for a Clearer Diagnosis
When internal structures of the eye cannot be seen through traditional methods—often due to dense cataracts, vitreous hemorrhage, or corneal scarring—ultrasound technology becomes our most vital diagnostic tool. At Vijay Eye Care Hospital, we utilize the Marvel B-Scan Ophthalmic Ultrasound, a state-of-the-art imaging system that provides high-resolution, cross-sectional views of the eye’s interior. This non-invasive technology allows our specialists to “see” through opaque media to ensure no underlying condition goes undetected.
Why the Marvel B-Scan?
The Marvel B-Scan is renowned in the field of ophthalmology for its exceptional clarity and diagnostic precision. Unlike standard scanners, the Marvel system offers:
Superior Resolution: High-frequency probes that capture minute details of the posterior segment.
Real-Time Imaging: Allows our doctors to observe movements within the eye, such as vitreous floaters or membrane shifts.
Accurate Measurements: Essential for calculating dimensions of ocular tumors or the thickness of the retina and choroid.
User-Friendly Diagnostics: Faster scanning times, ensuring a comfortable experience for the patient.
When is a B-Scan Necessary?
Our specialists recommend a Marvel B-Scan in several critical scenarios, including:
Dense Cataracts: When the lens is so cloudy that the retina cannot be visualized during a standard exam.
Vitreous Hemorrhage: To check for retinal health when blood in the eye obscures the view.
Retinal Detachment: To confirm the position and extent of a detached retina.
Ocular Tumors: For detecting, measuring, and monitoring masses or growths within the eye.
Trauma Management: To look for foreign bodies or internal damage following an eye injury.
Unexplained Vision Loss: To rule out posterior segment pathologies.
What to Expect During the Procedure
The Marvel B-Scan is a quick, painless, and safe procedure that typically takes less than 10 minutes.
Preparation: You will be asked to sit comfortably or recline. In most cases, the scan is performed through closed eyelids.
Conductive Gel: A small amount of hypoallergenic ultrasound gel is applied to the eyelid or the tip of the probe.
The Scan: The technician gently moves the probe over the eyelid. You may be asked to look in different directions so the scanner can capture multiple angles of the eye.
Instant Results: The images appear in real-time on a monitor, allowing for immediate analysis by your ophthalmologist.
No Down-time: Because no numbing drops or dilation are strictly required for this specific test, you can resume normal activities immediately.
