A-scan Ultrasound biometry, also referred to as just A-scan, utilizes an ultrasound device for diagnostic testing in Opthalmology practices. This device can determine the length of the eye and can be useful in diagnosing common sight disorders. A-scans are also extremely beneficial in cataract surgeries, as they enable the Opthalmologist to determine the power of the intraocular lens (IOL) needed for the artificial implant. Another use for A-scans is diagnosing and measuring masses in the eyes.
Determing which A-scan product would be useful for your practice can be daunting and many boast extra features, or combined uses such as A-scan/Pachymeters or A-scan/B-scan. Choose your vendor wisely and be sure they offer some form of customer service for training and implementation.

| Description | AXIalis™ is the next-generation integrated and compact biometer and pachymeter (optional).
Ultrasound biometry is complementary to optical biometry when a cataract is highly dense or in case of vitreous hemorrhage. AXIalis™ has a high | Quantel Medical has made a decisive leap forward with a new 5 ring annular technology on a 20 MHz probe.
The principe is to emit alternating ultrasounds by 5 concentric transducers located in a single probe. The images thus obtained are spectacular as | Compact Touch, the portable scan system from Quantel Medical, is adapted to today’s clinical needs and tomorrow’s medical challenges of general ophthalmologists. |
| Features | Inquire | Inquire | Improvements in the new generation of Compact Touch include a 15 MHz B probe to increase the quality of the B-scan imaging (resolution increased by 30%), which the platform performs along with A-scan and pachymetry modes. Interactivity is enhanced with DICOM compatibility, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity and HDMI video output. The sleek, modern design now utilizes a new generation touch screen interface, and the device is fanless and silent as a tablet. User-friendly design and software enhancements improve workflow. The Compact Touch has now received CE Mark.
