Computer-assisted clinical A-mode analysis in ophthalmic ultrasonography

Summary

It was shown how different statistical parameters may be extracted from ophthalmic echograms using commercial instruments and a low-cost personal computer system. Attenuation estimates for normal orbital fat consistent with literature data were obtained with two different ultrasonic instruments after allowance had been made for their individual performance characteristics. Finally, the possible value of an autocorrelation analysis for tissue characterization was illustrated in the case of a normal orbit and a tumour of the ciliary body.
