[An equidensometric method for objective evaluation of ultrasonic b-scan pictures (author's transl)].

An equidensometric procedure is presented for achieving objective evaluation of ultrasonic B-scan pictures. Using special film (Agfacontour film) it is possible to select and show individually areas of equal brightness appearing on the B-scan, so called "equidensites". This can be done by colouring each area differently or by using a system of symbols. There is a description of the way in which the Agfacontour film works and is processed. Clinical evidence can be provided to prove the equidensometric evaluation of ultrasonic B-pictures of the eye can offer a considerable amount of additional information.
