B-scan Insights

What is B-scan?

B-scan, or Brightness scan, is a two-dimensional ultrasound imaging technique. It displays a cross-sectional anatomical image by representing the intensity of the ultrasound echoes as brightness on a screen. It is commonly used in medical imaging, particularly in ophthalmology and dermatology, to visualize subsurface structures.
