B-scans

A B-scan is a diagnostic imaging test used by eye doctors to create cross-sectional images of the retina and other structures inside the eye. It works like an ultrasound, using sound waves to generate detailed, two-dimensional pictures of the eye's interior. B-scans help detect and monitor conditions such as retinal detachments, tumors, or vitreous hemorrhages. The test is quick, painless, and provides valuable information about the eye's health when visible examination isn’t enough, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
