TL;DR: Both transducer focusing techniques proved successful in producing highly sensitive, high-frequency, single-element, ultrasonic-imaging transducers that could possibly allow for an increase in depth of penetration, higher image signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and improved image contrast at high frequencies when compared to previously reported results.

TL;DR: Three-dimensional thickness mapping of the corneal epithelium demonstrated that the epithelial thickness is not evenly distributed across the cornea; the epithelia was significantly thicker inferiorly than superiorly and significantly thicker nasally than temporally with a larger inferosuperior difference than nasotemporal difference.

TL;DR: Three-dimensional thickness mapping of the corneal stroma and stromal thickness progression in a population of normal eyes represent a normative data set, which may help in early diagnosis of cornea abnormalities such as keratoconus and pellucid marginal degeneration.

TL;DR: Three-dimensional thickness mapping of the epithelial, stromal, and total corneal thickness profiles characterized thickness changes associated with keratoconus and may help in early diagnosis of keratoconic eyes.

TL;DR: VHF digital ultrasound arc-B scanning provides high-resolution imaging and high-precision three-dimensional thickness mapping of corneal layers, enabling accurate anatomical evaluation of the changes induced in the cornea by LASIK.
