Abstract：
Neuro-ophthalmologists commonly receive referrals for possible papilloedema. One common cause of oedematous-appearing optic nerves is optic disc drusen (ODD). We describe a novel, handheld, portable ultrasound device that can be used to identify ODD in cases of suspected papilloedema. We demonstrate here that this portable ultrasound system can detect ODD in the outpatient ophthalmology and neurology settings. The portable version demonstrates several advantages. The device can be carried into the office, readily reducing visit times and office space. It is much more affordable than a traditional ultrasound machine. Images can be uploaded to a secure server and imported into the patient\'s chart. These cases represent one potential ophthalmological application of this novel technology that could augment the ophthalmological examination and improve patient care in the future.
摘要：
神经眼科医生通常会因可能的乳头水肿而接受转诊。出现水肿的视神经的一个常见原因是视盘玻璃疣（ODD）。我们描述了一部小说，手持,便携式超声设备，可用于在怀疑乳头水肿的情况下识别ODD。我们在这里证明了这种便携式超声系统可以在门诊眼科和神经病学环境中检测ODD。便携式版本展示了几个优点。该设备可以携带进入办公室，随时减少访问时间和办公空间。它比传统的超声波机器便宜得多。图像可以上传到安全服务器，并导入到患者的图表中。这些病例代表了这种新技术的一种潜在眼科应用，可以增强眼科检查并改善未来的患者护理。
