  • Easily manage all images from any diagnostic device, regardless of modality, manufacturer, or location… OCT, photography, visual fields, ultrasound, and more
  • Web-based interface provides access wherever needed – exam room, remote office, anywhere with Internet access
  • Seamlessly integrates patient records and schedules with EMR
  • Economical solution scaled specifically to client needs, from single-physician practices to large multi-facility institutions
"One of the key advantages of implementing AXIS™ is that the web-based nature of the program means access to images can be widely deployed, regardless of physical location, and done so without need for installation of additional software workstations," Matt Carnevale, Executive Vice-President, commented. "This makes scaling up a practice relatively quick and inexpensive."

Escalon Digital Solutions will be demonstrating the AXIS™ Image Management System at the upcoming AAO meeting in San Francisco, CA October 24-27, 2009.

Drew Scientific, which operates as a separate business unit, provides instrumentation and consumables for the diagnosis and monitoring of medical disorders in the areas of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and hematology, as well as veterinary hematology and blood chemistry.
