Features: The live ultrasound microscope is a new type of ophthalmic B-mode ultrasound imaging tool developed in recent years, which can provide two-dimensional images of the anterior segment of the eye similar to those of a low-power optical microscope. It has advantages such as high resolution, real-time imaging, non-invasive, quantitative, and unaffected by opaque tissues. Each chapter of this book is written by clinical application experts of UBM in China, and many of the materials are published for the first time. This book includes the basic section on the imaging principles and examination methods of UBM, the clinical section on the imaging features of various anterior segment diseases using UBM, and the final section introducing the extreme values of UBM in experimental research, the development of domestic UBM, and prospects for the future development of UBM. Especially, this book provides detailed introductions to new knowledge, new perspectives, and new theories of this technology in ophthalmology and clinical applications. The book is written in a (illustrated) manner, with numerous UBM images and color illustrations for comparison, which is helpful for readers to understand. The book is easy to understand and suitable for ophthalmologists at all levels, B-ultrasound physicians, educators and researchers, ophthalmology graduate students, and biomedical engineering technicians.
