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!

Alexis

Check out Accutome. 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.

Hi Fellow Optimalers,

Is there anyone out there using an ultrasound machine with DICOM compatibility 
that connects seamlessly with their EMR and/or image viewing system?

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!

Alexis
