Fig. 23.2 A diagrammatic representation of probe position during UBM scanning. The highlighted yellow part shows the mark on the probe (a) radial scan (b) transverse scan
Table 23.2 Scan types in UBM
Type Technique Remark Axial Probe is placed perpendicular to the corneal
surface over the pupil – Horizontal scan: marker is oriented nasally – Vertical scan: marker is oriented superiorly
Radial (longitudinal)
Transverse Probe placed parallel to the limbus
Probe is placed perpendicular to the limbus at each clock hour
– Central scan: over the cornea and iris – Peripheral scan: over the limbus
Good for assessing – anterior chamber depth – orientation of displaced or tilted
It is the most common scan used in UBM examinations. Good for imaging the following: – anterior chamber angle, identication
– anterior to posterior extent of mass
Ideal for the evaluation of: – lateral extent of iris and ciliary body
– ciliary processes

ClearScan® is a single-use UBM probe tip cover consisting of a ne acoustically invisible lm that can be lled with water. It eliminates the chances of ocular injury with the moving trans­ducer and the need for a scleral shell [10]. This allows the scan to be performed in a sitting or reclining position.
To perform the examination, the probe is placed directly over the ocular structures to be imaged. The penetration of the ultrasound through the skin is not as good as through the conjunctiva, as the keratinized epithelium attenu­ates the ultrasound beam.
The cornea, iris, and crystalline lens can be imaged in any plane. Radially orientated images through the limbus provide a cross-sectional view of the anterior chamber angle (Fig. 23.2, Table 23.2). To image the conjunctiva, anterior sclera, ciliary body, and ora, the patient is asked to look 180° away from the clock hour of interest. Images are brightest when the probe is perpen­dicular to the surface examined, and the reected sound is returned directly to the transducer [1].
The top of the UBM display screen corre­sponds to the front of the transducer. A marker along the probe’s side helps in the orientation of

transducer movement and the image formed. The far left of the display screen corresponds to the area toward the marker, and the far right of the display screen corresponds to the area away from the marker [4]. In the image, structures at the top of the display screen are closest to the probe tip, and those at the bottom are the farthest (Fig.23.2). Measurements within the scanned area can be carried out with the software provided with the machine (Fig.23.3) [1].
23.5 Clinical Applications ofUltrasound Biomicroscopy
UBM is useful in assessing the anterior segment, with details of the anatomical structure, pathol­ogy, and pathophysiology of various ocular dis­eases. UBM is contraindicated in penetrating ocular trauma. Here, we describe the clinical application of UBM in diagnosing and managing different ocular conditions.
23.5.1 Ocular Surface
UBM helps identify the extent of ocular surface tumors [11], invasion of adjacent structures, and the posterior limit. It is useful in imaging in the presence of corneal opacities and pigmented lesions (Figs.23.4 and 23.5).
23.5.2 Cornea
In UBM, the corneal epithelium has a smooth reection; Bowman’s membrane and Descemet’s membrane-endothelial layer are highly reective
lines with a hypoechoic stroma in between. UBM helps in imaging corneal edema (microcystic and stromal) and Descemet’s membrane detachment in the presence of corneal haze or opacity. The anterior segment status in eyes with corneal opac­ity can be assessed for any iridocorneal touch, anterior synechiae, and iridolenticular contact (Fig.23.6).
23.5.3 Sclera
UBM can be useful in imaging the sclera anterior to the equator. In episcleritis, a localized hyper­reective thickened area is seen in the episcleral tissue with normal reectivity of the scleral stroma. In scleritis, both episcleral and scleral stroma appear hyperechoic.
23.5.4 Lens andZonules
1. Normal zonules appear as medium reective lines extending from the ciliary processes to the lens margin [9, 10]. UBM helps in identi­fying areas of zonular abnormalities. Increased lenticular sphericity is seen in areas of zonular abnormality. Direct signs of zonu­lar abnormality include the absence of zonular bers, increased zonular ber length, and the presence of zonular remnants on the lens cap­sule. Ciliary body attening and increased lens–ciliary body distance can also be seen (Fig.23.7) [11].
2. Position of the intraocular lens: UBM can detect the position of the posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) in eyes with pseudo­phakic pigment dispersion and uveitis glau-

the posterior chamber IOL (Fig. 23.8) [4]. UBM can localize the haptic position in eyes with UGH syndrome, where the haptics erode the iris and ciliary process and cause uveitis, glaucoma, and hyphema [4].
3. Microphakia and spherophakia: The equa­torial and anterior-posterior diameter of the crystalline lens can be determined with UBM in eyes with microspherophakia and sphero­phakia (Fig.23.8).
4. Trauma to lens: Anterior and posterior cap- sule status can be determined in traumatic cataract. Position of the crystalline lens and zonular status can be imaged [12, 13] (Fig.23.8).

image the ciliary body and lens. Identication of the scleral spur as a landmark is important in assessing the angle morphology. The various mechanisms of angle closure are (Fig.23.9) as follows:
(a) Lens iris diaphragm conguration: A con-
vex iris conguration, shallow anterior chamber, and iridotrabecular contact are seen in angle closure disease due to a relative pupillary block (Fig.23.9).
(b) Plateau iris conguration: An anteriorly
directed ciliary processes pushing the periph­eral iris and causing iridotrabecular contact is present (Fig.23.9) [14, 15]. The ciliary sulcus is absent, the iris root is short or thick, and a steep iris root from its point of inser­tion followed by a downward angulation is present along with a at iris plane. The cen­tral anterior chamber depth is normal.
(c) Pseudoplateau iris with cysts of iris and
ciliary body epithelium: On UBM, these multiple neuroepithelial cysts of the ciliary body have a well-delineated wall without a solid component. They push the peripheral iris leading to iridotrabecular contact (Fig.23.9) [14, 16].

cent cataract and an increased anteroposte­rior lens thickness result in a pupillary block with subsequent angle closure (Fig.23.9). It can also occur in eyes with an anteriorly subluxated lens or zonular

(a) Pigment dispersion syndrome (PDS) and
pigmentary glaucoma (PG): In eyes with PDS and PG, a deep anterior chamber with posterior bowing of the mid-peripheral iris, causing a reverse pupillary block is seen (Fig.23.10). The posterior insertion of the iris root and iris-zonu­lar apposition are responsible for the pigment dispersion from the posterior pigmented epithe­lium of the iris can be imaged [19].

recess and a tear of the ciliary processes from the scleral spur can be detected (Fig.23.10).

mality and lens position can be imaged in patients with PXF [14]. The PXF material can be seen on the zonules and peripheral lens capsule.
