<description><![CDATA[Thanks Robert. I have been in contact with Escalon on this... Now I am hearing about an US that would plug into a USB port? Price tag about $6k according to my doc. He used it at a previous practice. Thoughts anyone?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[David- I am not up to date on the latest with B-Scans, but I suggest contacting the various vendors who have these products in addition to Sonomed Escalon:  Ellex, Accutome, Quantel, and Optos.  <br /><br />Good luck!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Sonomed makes a unit like you describe - not UBM, standard B-scan.   It plugs into a USB and the probe sends the signal to the PC.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Also interested in  input..<br />Our Sonomed 5500 A/B scan unit circa 2003 has failed, and Sonomed no longer has the parts to fix it..<br />Can anyone give an opinion of the available units on the market, and ones you like, ones you don't?<br />We need to replace it with something asap, and I want to make the right purchase. We use it for A's and K's, and Bscans for RD/heme dx. <br />We have an Optos A/Bscan  laptop,in another office, and its fine, but I'd like to know if there is anything out there better or more efficient. <br /><br />William L.

<description><![CDATA[Re: USB B-scan - Accutome and Sonomed/Escalon both have a USB driven B-scan probe that plugs into either a laptopor desktop PC - you load the software - several other companies utilize the same probe, but have not done anything in terms of improving the signal to noise ratio or post signal processing that both Accutome and Sonomed have done.  Accutome has actually modified the housing on their version of the probe which makes it a bit more ergonomic.  Both Accutome and Sonomed have adjusted the signal to noise ratio, signal amplification and post processing of the signal to make for vastly better image quality than any of the "bargain basement" units that sell in the $3,500 to $6,000 range.<br /><br />Sonomed also has a tablet based unit called the Vue Pad.  It can be configured for B-scan alone or combined with UBM.  Both companies have very nice units.  They are more expensive than the cheap 6K units, but you get so much better imaging and much better software with Accutome and Sonomed compared to the cheaper units.  Sonomed also has a combined A&B unit called the E-Z Scan - very nice unit for doing biometry/IOL calcs and B-scans.<br /><br />Quantel Medical also makes a small, portable B-scan unit, but is not a tablet per se, nor does it use a USB B-scan probe.  But it is also a nice unit for it's size.  I have no financial interest in any of the ultrasound companies.  Hope this may be helpful.  Best regards!<br />Jerry<br />E.
