Overview The Accutome B-Scan Plus is very simple to operate,
and has advanced features to help you obtain the best
possible images.
The Accutome B-Scan Plus creates eye images by
send
ing a signal through the eye from the ultrasonic
probe. The signal echoes off the various parts of the eye
(cornea, lens, retina) and returns a signal to the probe.
The returned signal is translated by the Accutome B-
Scan Plus and displayed as the patient image.
The Accutome B-Scan Plus provides many user controls
to
obtain high quality diagnostic images. These include
the probe, TGC and gamma adjustments. This chapter
provides you with information to scan, control, and
review images.
