Objectives: After studying the article entitled “Use of Ophthalmic Sonography to Evaluate for Intraocular Foreign Body in Both Outpatient and Emergency Department/Urgent Care Patients,” you will be able to:
Describe the appearance of intraocular foreign bodies (IOFB) on a sonogram
Describe the eye anatomy that can be viewed with the use of sonography
Identify the medical conditions that can be evaluated with ophthalmic sonography
What is the approximate percentage range that IOFB are found in open globe injuries? 1%-10% 11%-17% 18%-41% 47%-58%
An IOFB will appear on a sonogram as: Hypoechoic with no line or area Hypoechoic with a dark black line or area Hyperechoic with a bright white line or area Hyperechoic with several black lines and areas
According to this article, the medical conditions that sonography can be used to evaluate are: Posterior scleritis and vitreous hemorrhages Conjunctivitis and myopia Glaucoma and hyperopia Hemianopsia and diplopia
According to this article, ophthalmic sonography can be used to view the following anatomy of the eye: Optic nerves Optic blood vessels Lateral and medial aspects of the globe Anterior and posterior aspects of the globe
