ULTRASOUND
Orbit Single side (B Scan)
Also Known As:
Orbital Ultrasound
B-Scan Ultrasound
B scan for retina detachment
About This Test
Orbit ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique used to evaluate the globe, extraocular muscles, optic nerve, and orbital soft tissues. It provides high-resolution, real-time imaging, particularly useful in assessing masses, hemorrhages, foreign bodies, retinal detachment, vitreous opacities, and optic nerve abnormalities. Both A-mode and B-mode ultrasonography are employed: B-mode gives two-dimensional structural details.Color Doppler imaging can assess vascularity in orbital tumors or inflammatory lesions. The examination is performed with the patient supine, eyes closed, and a coupling gel applied over the eyelids to ensure optimal sound transmission. Orbital ultrasound is safe, radiation-free, portable, and repeatable, making it valuable in ophthalmology and emergency settings.

TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
