Retinal Detachment by Ultrasound (Photo)
Last updated September 13, 2007
This photo shows a retinal detachment by ultrasound. The retina is attached at the optic nerve (the right part of the picture) and the ora serrata. If you look at the a-scan tracing on the bottom, you can see that the retina “spikes” more than lesser opacities like vitreous debris.
To see this better, watch our retinal detachment video from which this snapshot was taken.
