We live and practice ophthalmology in an era of sophisticated imaging techniques: computed tomographic (CT) scanning and CT angiography, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and MR angiography, and digital subtraction angiography. All of these procedures can be helpful to the physician dealing with ocular and orbital disease, but none is more useful than ophthalmic ultrasound , It is the only method of determining the optimum intraocular lens power for a patient about to undergo cataract surgery, it provides an accurate representation of tissue status in patients with opaque media, and it is crucial in the investigation of patients with clinical evidence of orbital disease.
