Objective
To present stereoscopic image of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with three-dimentional reconstruction of sonography.
Methods
Ultrasound data were collected by Hpsonos 1500 and 7.0MHz transducter with the motor controlled by computer.Three-dimentional image were reconstructed with Tomtec echoscan.
Results
Three-dimentional image were successfully reconstructed in 14 eyes of 13 cases of retinal detachment include 3 eyes of 3 cases with opaque refractive medium showing stereosopic image of retina and some retinal tears.
Conclusion
Static three-dimentional reconstruction of sonography might enhance the ability to visulize spatial anatomic structure of retina and offer a new method to find retinal tears in patients with opague refractive medium.
