METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING CLINICAL UVEITIS COURSE TYPE Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61B8/06 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves applying ultrasonic Doppler flowmetry techniques for determining blood circulation characteristics in orbital artery, central retinal artery and posterior short ciliary arteries. Their changes are recorded once. Injured eye is compared to intact eye or both injured eyes are compared to control group eyes. Changes in maximum systolic blood circulation flow rate Vs, minimum diastolic blood circulation flow rate Vd and peripheral resistance index Ri values are recorded. Vs threshold value dropping by 11%, Vd threshold value by 34.6%, Ri value growing by 11.8% in central retinal artery on the injured eye or on both eyes and Vs value dropping b y 25.4%, Vd by 42% and Ri value growing by 11% in the posterior short ciliary arteries being observed, chronic uveitis clinical course is diagnosed to be the case. Vs threshold value growing up by 11%, Vd threshold value by 12%, Ri value dropping by 9% in central retinal artery and Vs value growing by 25%, Vd by 29% and Ri value dropping by 10% in the posterior short ciliary arteries being observed, acute uveitis clinical course is to be diagnosed.

EFFECT: high accuracy of early stage diagnosis; accelerated treatment course.
