What Is the Difference Between A-Scan and B-Scan? - MedicineNet
WEBA-scan and B-scan are both types of ultrasound examinations performed for eye evaluation. A detailed eye examination tells not only about the structures of the eyes but also about any underlying health conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes.
Ophthalmologic Ultrasound - EyeWiki
WEBThere are two main types of ultrasound used in ophthalmologic practice currently, A-Scan and B-scan. In A-scan, or time-amplitude scan, sound waves are generated at 8 MHz and converted into spikes that correspond with tissue interface zones.
A-Scan Biometry: Principles of Ultrasound
WEBJan 29, 2011 · A-scan ultrasonography remains the standard technique for measuring axial length in IOL power calculation. In this series of videos, Sandra Frazier Byrne discusses the principles of A-scan ultrasound, demonstrates the applanation and immersion methods, and explains how to manage difficult situations and common errors.
A-Scan - Eye Patient
WEBA-scan, short for Amplitude scan, is one of the diagnostic tests in the ophthalmology field that uses ultrasound technology. The scan is responsible for measuring the axial length (AL). The axial length is the eyes’ length.
How to interpret ophthalmic ultrasound: 5 most common scans
WEBThe “A scan” is performed by placing an ultrasound transducer directly on the cornea or using an immersion shell after some numbing drops are applied. It performs a single line scan which can be used to measure axial length or numerically compare the reflectivity of different structures.

Update on A-Scan and B-Scan Ocular Ultrasound Technologies
WEBSep 18, 2013 · A-scan ultrasound refers to a one dimensional amplitude modulation scan. It is most commonly used for measurement of axial length (AL), which is critical for intraocular lens (IOL) calculations prior to cataract surgery.
Eye and orbit ultrasound Information | Mount Sinai - New York
WEBAn A-scan ultrasound measures the eye to determine the right power of a lens implant before cataract surgery. A B-scan is done to look at the inside part of the eye or the space around and behind the eye (orbit) that cannot be seen directly.
