Imaging the vitreous: optical coherence tomography and ultrasound imaging.
Imaging the vitreous in optically transparent and translucent ocular media using OCT and in optically opaque ocular media using ultrasound is discussed.Optical coherence tomography and colour flow mapping are briefly described. Images of tomograms, B-mode sections, and colour flow maps illustrate the use of these techniques in imaging the vitreous.
