A comparative study between 10-MHz and 15-MHz ultrasound probes for retinal evaluation in silicone-oil-filled globes.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To compare 10-MHz and 15-MHz B-scan probes regarding the detection and localization of retinal detachment (RD) in silicone-oil-filled eyes.

Methods

This cross-sectional observational study included 100 eyes (98 patients) -having media opacity precluding fundus examination- scheduled for silicone-oil removal. Patients were examined in the sitting-position using both frequencies one week preoperatively. Longitudinal and transverse scans were taken in primary-gaze, inferior, inferonasal, and inferotemporal positions to detect the presence/absence and extent of RD. Patients were sub-grouped according to axial lengths (AXLs), state of silicone emulsification, and globe filling. Agreement between sonographic and intraoperative observations was compared.
