ULTRASONIC APPARATUS FOR MEASURING SIGHT SYSTEM

Title:

ULTRASONIC APPARATUS FOR MEASURING SIGHT SYSTEM

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JPS5995031

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

An ultrasonic diagnostic scanner for obtaining ocular measurements is described. The ultrasonic diagnostic scanner generally comprises transmitter means for generating an ultrasonic signal, receiver means for receiving echo signals and for producing a peak signal at substantially the maximum amplitude of the echo signals when the echo signals exceed a predeterminable threshold level, programmable means for producing count signals indicative of the times between the transmission of the ultrasonic signal and the occurrence of a selected number of peak signals, and between the occurrence of predetermined peak signals, microcomputer means for controlling the transmitter and programmable means, and output means for generating a perceptible output indicative of the ocular parameter being measured. The ultrasonic diagnostic scanner also includes sensitivity adjustment means for maintaining a predetermined amplitude level of at least one of the echo signals under the control of the microcomputer means. Threshold adjustment means is also provided for adjusting the predeterminable threshold level under the control of the microcomputer means. A dot matrix liquid crystal display is also included for visually displaying an echo histogram of the echo signals.
