ReviewClinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 28-JAN-07 — “This is a well-illustrated,slim, hardback volume with an enclosed DVD. It achieves it is stated intent of supplying finish guidance on the physics and ophthalmic apps of ocular ultrasonography. Future applications, in particular very high frequency ultrasonography, are usefully previewed. The distinguished chapters are uniformly clear and concise, and the accompanying DVD is a very utile adjunct as ultrasonography is of course a dynamic tool. This book will surely find a place in each departmental library so that trainees may get a good overview of ocular ultrasonography and it is applications.”

THE Definitive Standard on Ophthalmic Ultrasound (Again)…Outstanding!!!
By Rick Crews
They at long last came out with a 2nd edition!! These pioneers in the field have again written the most authorized and finish description of the physics, exercise and latest technology in the field of ophthalmic ultrasound.

Review from the Archives of Ophthalmology:
By Harriet
Arch Ophthalmol. 2007;125:437-438.

Early in it is development, ophthalmic ultrasound split into two major camps: one led by Dr Coleman and the other by Karl Ossoinig, MD. Both men had distinct views when it comes to the optimal proficiencies for examination, and their spirited interchanges added spice to ophthalmology meetings and journals. When Dr Coleman published the introductory edition of Ultrasonography of the Eye and Orbit in 1977, it became the major reference for the field. Almost 30 years later, this second edition highlights the advances and current status of this field as seen through the eyes of one of it is pioneers. The writers have extensive experience in the design and use of ophthalmic ultrasound instrumentation. They without doubt or question explain the rudimentary physics of ultrasound in layperson’s as well as in more precise mathematical terms. They spotlight the vantages and limitations of dissimilar scanning modalities, such as sector, linear, and arc scans, and talk about the elements that determine the quality of B-scan images. Dr Coleman, in spite of his passion for his own methods, also provides an goal to be attained analysis of his and Dr Ossoinig’s methods.

The chapters on ocular and orbital diagnosis detail the conditions in which ultrasound has diagnostic utility. The figures are of high quality, and the accompanying legends and text are clear and concise. While Ultrasound of the Eye and Orbit, 2nd Edition, written by Sandra Frazier Byrne, RDMS, and Ronald L. Green, MD, holds examples of more disease conditions, Dr Coleman’s text includes more images taken with new or novel imaging systems. Recently, the availability of higher frequencies and digital signal processing has bettered ultrasound solution substantially. The writers have played a significant role in these advances, and the sheer beauty of some of these images is in itself reason sufficient to own this book.

Advances in computer processing have opened new avenues for ultrasound diagnostic techniques. This book describes 3-dimensional ultrasound imaging and discusses it is utility for monitoring choroidal melanoma following eye-sparing therapies. The writers describe their decades of work using computer-assisted analysis of raw radio-frequency info to valuate the malignant potential of choroidal melanoma. A unambiguously elaborate chapter in regards to arc scanning with high-frequency evaluation of the anterior segment provides a good basis to grasp the gains of the Artemis 2 (Ultralink LLC, St Petersburg, Fla), a 50-MHz, 3-dimensional arc B-scan unit, for use in refractive surgery.

One substantial drawback to former books on ophthalmic ultrasound has been their disability to demonstrate the kinetic determinations of an ophthalmic examination within the printed medium. This book is accompanied by a DVD that demonstrates the basic kinetic determinations of conditions, such as retinal detachments and vitreous hemorrhage, using narrated video clips. The writers include videos of typical patient examinations from start out to finish using their proficiencies and instrumentation. The video of an examination using the Artemis 2 is specially well done. I would like to see even more narrated video clips to demonstrate how the determinations of a dynamic ultrasound examination may aid in diagnosis. The DVD format would also be idealisti for showcasing 3-dimensional ultrasound effigy acquisition and interpretation.

This compact book manages to squeeze twice the data into half the number of pages as the primary edition. I would commend this text for ophthalmologists and technicians who have an interest in understanding ophthalmic ultrasound, or to anybody who desires proficiency in ultrasound examination techniques.
