A/B Scans
A-scan and B-scan ultrasound show you what light-based instruments cannot. An A-scan measures axial length by ultrasound for IOL power calculation — the fallback that still works when a dense cataract defeats optical biometry. A B-scan produces a two-dimensional image of the posterior segment straight through media opacities, which is why it remains the diagnostic tool of choice for suspected retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, intraocular tumors, and ocular trauma when the fundus simply cannot be visualized. Most ophthalmic units run a 10 MHz probe, and many combine both modalities in a single system.
Digital Eye Center carries used and refurbished ophthalmic ultrasound from the brands clinicians ask for most: Sonomed Escalon (VuMAX HD, VuPad, PacScan Plus, Master-Vu), Accutome (A-Scan Plus, B-Scan Plus, 4Sight), Quantel Medical (Aviso, Compact Touch), Ellex (Eye Cubed), DGH Technology (Scanmate), and Nidek (Echoscan US-4000). You will find standalone A-scan biometers, dedicated B-scan units, and combined A/B systems — some adding pachymetry or UBM probes — depending on what is in stock. Condition varies by unit: each listing specifies whether it is used or refurbished, and every unit is verified by a certified technician before shipping.
All orders ship from Miami, FL within 2–3 business days. Not sure whether a combined A/B system or a dedicated biometer fits your case volume — or which unit interfaces with your EMR? Call us at 305-771-4562 or contact us here and we will point you to the right configuration.
