The Sankara Nethralaya Atlas of Ophthalmic Ultrasound

by Tarun Sharma, Lingam Gopal, Muna Bhende, Sriram Gopal, Anuj Gogi

Ultrasonography is an important investigative tool in ophthalmology, in particular for vitreous surgery, oncology and orbital diseases. This atlas is a compilation of the numerous classic and unusual cases that have been seen here, alongwith a brief outline of the salient clinical and ultrasound features. This book contains 50 chapters and the nuggets at the end of the chapters are intended to serve as a quick reference in difficult situations. This group, consisting of mainly vitreoretinal surgeons who are also experienced echographers, has put together a concise, yet comprehensive text that is extremely well illustrated and very readable. Excellent examples of almost every ocular and orbital disorder one might expect to encounter in the clinical practice of ophthalmic echography are represented in this atlas. The reader’s understanding of the ultrasound illustrations is enhanced with color fundus photographs and external photos, as well as CT scans and MRI scans of the orbit. One of the text’s outstanding features is the use of “nuggets” in most of the chapters; charts which provide pearls of information that are important for the differentiation and diagnosis of particular conditions. This atlas is meant as both a basic text as well as a reference tool for both students of ophthalmology and practicing ophthalmologists.
