Methodical and clinical aspects of the echo-oculography.

Abstract

The pros and cons of the various B-scan modes are discussed, and the preferences of the combination of the linear scan and the arc scan is eludicated with experimental results. Some techniques of modulation of the intensity of the B-scan oscilloscope are compared, the starting point being an A-scan equipment with a logarithmic gain amplifier. It is concluded that either a differentiated video signal, or a system employing standard pulses are differentiation of the video signal, or a system employing standard pulses after differentiation of the video signal enhances the anatomical outlining of the B-scan pictures. In order to provide quantitative information of the echo-pattern, A-scan pictures have to be made. These pictures are taken at positions with the B-scan display.
