The purpose of this exhibit is: 1. To illustrate and describe the sonography anatomy of the eye  2. To illustrate the main pathological conditions that affect the eye depicted by US, and its correlation with CT,MR and ophthalmoscopic image when available 3. To describe the sonographic technical procedure

1. Introduction : Ocular US plays an important role in the evaluation of the diseases that affect the eye, especially in those cases when is not possible to perform an appropriate ophthalmoscopy due to the opacification of transparent media resulting from cataracts, vitreous hemorrhage or extreme miosis. Nevertheless most radiologists are unfamiliar with ocular anatomy and the most prevalent ocular diseases that could be depicted sonographically. 2.Technique and Study Protocol 3.Sonographic Normal Ocular Anatomy 4. Imaging of the Pathologic  Conditions: Ocular Globe Morphology Lens Vitreous Choroid Retina Optic Disk and Optic Nerve Post-surgical Eye 5. Summary : Ocular US is an accurately diagnostic tool in the ophthalmologic examination. A proper knowledge of the sonographically anatomy and familiarity with the variety of multiple conditions that affect the eye may enhance our ability to get the most of this efficient and valuable technique.
