Abstract
Equipment parameters may limit the range of useful application of ultrasonic apparatus and transducer probes in ophthalmic ultrasonography. The reliability of ultrasonic diagnosis depends on close-to-optimum parameters and their maintenance. Therefore, the International Electrotechnical Commission, as well as AIUM and other national groups, have developed drafts on measurement of these parameters.
