the disc with 90 D or contact lens biomicroscopy. Its easier with CLB as the eye
is stabilized. Focus it uniocularly. Place the mobile over the eyepiece and see
the image. Click, once its focused. Its quite difficult to get the right focus. That
task is easier with CLB.
For the videos, the procedure is same. Once the lesion is focused. Start the
video recording in the cellphone. Place it over the eyepiece. Move the joystick
as required. The cellphone keeps focusing the image which gives small jerky
movements of the video.
Advantages of Cell Phone Imaging System
1. The camera is never forgotten. It is always in your pocket.
2. No extra investment.
3. Very portable and handy.
4. It can be used in your other working places where there is no imaging system.
5. Images from a fundus camera can be captured by cell phone.
6. Your images are always in your pocket.
7. Images of CT scans and MRI scans.
8. Easy transferability through “blue tooth” to patient’s mobile. No need for printer.
Ultrasound Biomicroscopy as an Important Diagnostic
Adjunct in The Management of Limbal Tumors
Dr. Ruchi Kabra, Dr. Deepak C. Mehta, Dr. Hansa Thakkar
Clinical assessment to assess the extent and depth of limbal masses with
conjunctival and corneal extension is generally crude and the posterior
margins are typically revealed either during surgery or histopathological
examination. Pavlin and Foster were the first to describe the use of high
frequency ultrasound to examine conjunctival tumors. 1 Over time high
frequency ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) has become a well established
method for imaging anterior segment tumors. UBM provides useful
information regarding tumor configuration and invasion which prove to be
of immense help in deciding the treatment protocol. In our study we report
herein the characteristic ultrasonographic features in limbal tumors. Our aim
was to assess in a prospective manner the posterior extent and invasion of
limbal tumor prior to surgical intervention.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
63 cases of primary limbal tumors with conjunctival and/or corneal extension
were enrolled in our prospective non-randomized study done between 1 April
2008 to 31 March 2011. All patients with limbal tumors and anterior segment
tumors are routinely subjected to imaging at the very first visit at our institute.
