Color Doppler imaging in glaucomatous eyes

Color Doppler imaging is a noninvasive ultrasound examination that permits simultaneous gray-scale imaging of structures and color-coded imaging of blood flow in the orbit. This improved technique allows identification of even very small vessels such as those feeding the eye, from which measurements of blood flow velocity and vascular resistance can be obtained reproducibly. Color Doppler imaging has been used successfully to demonstrate changes in orbital hemodynamics in patients with glaucoma. Further research to elucidate the pathogenesis of glaucoma using this technique may be helpful in the treatment of glaucoma. LA: Japanese
