Hello Alexis,

Sonomed Escalon also has a USB B-scan option.

http://www.sonomedescalon.com/ophthalmic-ultrasound/b-scan/master-vu-b-scan/

These USB B-scan units are great for portability and value. Each
vendor essentially purchaces the B-scan from the same third-party
manufacturer and the differences between them is the software that
runs the show. If you are looking for seamless integration with Dicom
or imaging view software, the USB B-scans are the best low-cost
options.

The other options are usually more expansive dedicated units with
higher resolution and capabilities. These units are understandably
more expensive and less portable than the USB B-scans.

Contact me if you have any further questions

Bruno
