Hi Everyone! Thanks Peter! I probably should give a little more information : ) The ultrasound needs to have UBM and Standardized A-scan for tissue sensitivity. I've looked up units online, but I've found that sales reps haven't given me accurate information about how seamless their "DICOM" feature is. When we first bought Ellex's EyeCubed machine we were told by our rep it was DICOM compatible and seamlessly integrated into Symphony (without needing to manually enter in patient data) . . . that turned out to be inaccurate. Their new upgrade is supposed to have this feature . . . for $3,000. I'm hopeful that I can get a few reviews via the community here so that I have other options : ) Thanks!

Their B-scan is essentially a laptop with a probe attached. You believe can send the file as pictures or movie. And the price is right too. http://www.accutome.com/product/b-scan-plus Thank you Peter Peter L. Breit, CRA.

We've been using Ellex and are looking to purchase a new unit; however, they are charging 3,000 extra to ship the unit with their new DICOM update. I'd like to find out if there are other viable options. It seems with meaningful use etc, this should be a standard feature. Thanks group!
