(1) The Plan provides for the possible adjustment of the number,  price and kind
of shares  covered by  options  granted or to be granted in the event of certain
capital or other changes  affecting  Registrant  Common Stock. This Registration
Statement  therefore  covers,  in  addition  to  the  above-stated   shares,  an
indeterminate  number of shares that may become  subject to the Plan by means of
any such adjustment.

(2) Pursuant to Rule 457(h),  estimated  solely for the purpose of computing the
registration fee, based upon (i) the aggregate  exercise price of $12,511,731.06
for the 1,068,682  shares  underlying  outstanding  options,  and (ii) as to the
remaining  131,318 shares available,  $9.125 per share,  which is the average of
the high and low prices of the  Registrant's  Common  Stock as  reported  on the
Nasdaq National Market on August 6, 1996.

Gentlemen:

         We are  providing  this  opinion in  connection  with the  Registration
Statement of OrthoLogic  Corp.  (the  "Company") on Form S-8 (the  "Registration
Statement") filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), with
respect to the proposed sale of up to an additional  1,200,000  shares of Common
Stock,  $.0005  par  value,  of  the  Company  (the  "Shares")  pursuant  to the
OrthoLogic  Corp.  Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "Plan").  We have examined
(i)  the  Registration  Statement;  (ii)  the  Company's  Amended  and  Restated
Certificate of  Incorporation  and Bylaws,  as amended to date;  (iii) the Plan;
(iv) corporate proceedings relating to the adoption of the Plan and the issuance
of the  Shares;  and (v) such other  documents  and  records  as we have  deemed
necessary in order to render this opinion.  In rendering  this opinion,  we have
relied as to certain  factual matters on certificates of officers of the Company
and of state officials.

         Based upon the  foregoing,  it is our  opinion  that the  Shares,  when
issued and paid for as contemplated by the Registration  Statement and the Plan,
will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable by the Company.

         We  consent  to  the  filing  of  this  opinion  as an  Exhibit  to the
Registration  Statement.  In giving  our  consent,  we do not admit  that we are
"experts"  within the  meaning of Section 11 of the Act,  or that we come within
the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the Act.


                                                     Very truly yours,

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' CONSENT

                                                                      (Form S-8)

                        OrthoLogic Corp Stock Option Plan
             As Amended through 1996 Annual Meeting of Stockholders


1.    Purpose
      -------

      The purpose of the  OrthoLogic  Corp Stock  Option Plan (the "Plan") is to
attract and retain the best available  employees,  consultants and directors for
positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to such
employees,  consultants and directors to OrthoLogic Corp, a Delaware corporation
(the  "Company")  or any parent or subsidiary of the Company which now exists or
hereafter is  organized  or acquired by or acquires the Company,  and to promote
the success of the business of the Company.

2.    Incentive and Nonqualified Stock Options
      ----------------------------------------
      
Two types of options (referred to herein as "Options," without distinction
between  such two types)  may be granted  under the Plan:  options  intended  to
qualify as incentive  stock options  ("incentive  stock  options") under Section
422A of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the  "Code");  and other
options not  specifically  authorized  or  qualified  for  favorable  income tax
treatment by the Code ("nonqualified stock options").

3.    Eligibility and Administration
      ------------------------------

      (a)   Any employee  (including any officer or director who is an employee)
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be eligible to receive incentive
stock  options  under the Plan.  An employee  may receive  more than one type of
option under the Plan.

      (b)   Any director of the Company or  consultant to the Company who is not
an  employee  of the  Company  or any of its  subsidiaries  or a  member  of the
Compensation  Committee  of the  Board  of  Directors  of the  Company  shall be
eligible to receive  nonqualified  stock options under the Plan. Any director of
the  Company  who is a member  of the  Compensation  Committee  of the  Board of
Directors  and is not an  employee  of the  Company (a  "Compensation  Committee
Member") shall be eligible to receive options only as set forth in Section 9.

      (c)   The Plan  shall be  administered  by the Board of  Directors  of the
Company or a  committee  appointed  by the Board of  Directors.  No  director or
committee  member shall be liable for any action or  determination  made in good
faith with respect to the Plan or any option granted under it.

4.    Shares Subject to Options
      -------------------------


                               Ex. 99.1 - Page -1-
<PAGE>
      The stock available for grant of options under the Plan shall be shares of
the Company's authorized but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock. The aggregate
number of shares  which may be issued  pursuant to exercise of  incentive  stock
options and nonqualified stock options granted under the Plan shall be 2,000,000
shares.  If any  outstanding  option under the Plan for any reason expires or is
terminated,  the shares of Common Stock allocable to the unexercised  portion of
the option shall again be available  for options under the Plan as if no options
had been granted with respect to such shares.

5.    Terms and Conditions of Options
      -------------------------------

      Options  granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by agreements  ("Letter
of Grant") in such form and containing such provisions which are consistent with
the Plan as the Board or committee shall from time to time approve.  Each Letter
of Grant shall specify  whether the option granted thereby is an incentive stock
option or a nonqualified stock option. Such Letters of Grant may incorporate all
or any of the terms hereof by reference  and shall comply with and be subject to
the following terms and conditions:

      (a)   Each Letter of Grant shall  specify  the number of  incentive  stock
options and/or nonqualified stock option shares subject to the option.

      (b)   The  purchase  price for the shares  subject  to (i) a  nonqualified
option may be any amount  determined in good faith by the Board or committee and
(ii) an incentive option shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of
the stock on the date the option is granted, provided, however, the option price
on an  incentive  stock  option  shall not be less than 110% of the fair  market
value of such  stock on the date the option is  granted  to an  individual  then
owning  (after the  application  of the family  and other  attribution  rules of
Section 425(d) of the Code), more than 10% of the total combined voting power of
all classes of stock of the Company or any subsidiary or parent corporation. For
purposes of the Plan,  "fair market value" at any date shall be (i) the reported
closing price of such stock on the New York Stock Exchange or other  established
stock  exchange or the National  Market  System of NASDAQ on such date, or if no
sale of such stock shall have been made on that date, on the  preceding  date on
which  there  was  such a sale,  (ii) if such  stock is not  then  listed  on an
exchange or the National Market System of NASDAQ, the average of the closing bid
and asked  prices  per share for such  stock in the  over-the-counter  market as
quoted on  NASDAQ on such  date,  or (iii) if such  stock is not then  listed or
quoted as referenced  above, an amount  determined in good faith by the Board or
the committee.

      (c)   The  purchase  price for any share  purchased  pursuant to an option
previously  granted or to be  granted  under the Plan shall be paid in full upon
exercise of the option by any of the  following  methods:  (i) by cash,  (ii) by
check, or (iii) unless provided otherwise in the particular grant agreement,  by
transferring  to the Company shares of stock of the Company at their fair market
value as of the date of exercise of the option as determined in accordance  with
paragraph 5(b). The Company may arrange for or cooperate in permitting  cashless
exercise procedures and may extend and maintain, or arrange for the extension or
maintenance of, credit to an

                               Ex. 99.1 - Page -2-
<PAGE>
optionee to finance the optionee's  purchase of shares  pursuant to the exercise
of  options,  on such terms as may be  approved  by the Board or the  committee,
subject to  applicable  regulations  of the Federal  Reserve Board and any other
applicable laws or regulations in effect at the time such credit is extended.

      (d)   No option shall be exercisable  after the expiration of the earliest
of (i) in the case of an  incentive  stock  option,  ten years from the date the
option is granted or, five years from the date the option is granted in the case
of an  incentive  stock  option  granted  to an  individual  owning  (after  the
application of the family and other  attribution  rules of Section 425(d) of the
Code) at the time such option was granted,  more than 10% of the total  combined
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any  subsidiary or parent
corporation,  (ii) in the case of a nonqualified  option,  eleven years from the
date the option is  granted,  (iii) in the case of an  incentive  stock  option,
three months after the date the optionee's  employment  with the Company and its
subsidiaries  terminates,  if such  termination  is for any  reason  other  than
permanent  disability,  death or cause, (iv) the date the optionee's  employment
with the Company and its subsidiaries  terminates,  if termination is for cause,
as determined by the Board or committee in its sole discretion,  or (v) one year
after the date the optionee's  employment or  directorship  with the Company and
its  subsidiaries  terminates  if such  termination  is the  result  of death or
permanent  disability;  provided,  however,  that the option  agreement  for any
option may  provide  for  shorter  periods in each of the  foregoing  instances.
Options to  directors  or  consultants  who are not  employees  may be exercised
within such time period as the Board or  committee  determines  after the person
ceases to be a director or consultant.  The term  "permanent  disability"  shall
mean a disability of the type defined in Section 105(d)(4) of the Code.

      (e)   No option shall be exercisable during the lifetime of an optionee by
any person other than the optionee,  his guardian or legal  representative.  The
Board or  committee  shall have the power to set the time or times  within which
each option shall be exercisable and to accelerate the time or times of exercise
which  conditions shall be set forth  specifically in each individual  Letter of
Grant.  To the extent that an  optionee  has the right to exercise an option and
purchase  shares  pursuant to the Letter of Grant,  the option may be  exercised
from time to time by written notice to the Company  stating the number of shares
being  purchased and  accompanied  by payment in full of the purchase  price for
such shares.

      (f)   No option shall be  transferable  by an optionee  otherwise  than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution.

      (g)   The  aggregate  fair  market  value  (determined  as of the time the
option is granted) of the stock with respect to which  incentive  stock  options
are  exercisable  for the first time by such  optionee  during any calendar year
(under all such plans of the Company and any subsidiary  corporation)  shall not
exceed $100,000.

      (h)   Unless the shares of stock covered by the Plan have been  registered
with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  pursuant  to  Section  5 of the
Securities  Act of 1933, as amended,  each optionee shall by accepting an option
represent and agree, for himself and his transferees

                               Ex. 99.1 - Page -3-
<PAGE>
by will or the  laws of  descent  and  distribution,  that all  shares  of stock
purchased  upon the exercise of the option will be acquired for  investment  and
not for resale or  distribution.  If the shares of stock under the Plan have not
been registered with the Securities and Exchange  Commission as described above,
the optionee,  at the time of exercise  shall  represent that he is qualified to
exercise  an option as required by the  securities  laws.  If an optionee is not
qualified  to purchase  securities,  the Company  shall not be required to issue
shares to such an optionee.  Upon such exercise of any portion of an option, the
person  entitled to exercise the same shall upon request of the Company  furnish
evidence   satisfactory   to  the  Company   (including  a  written  and  signed
representation)  to the effect  that the shares of stock are being  acquired  in
good faith for investment and not for resale or distribution.  Furthermore,  the
Company may if it deems appropriate affix a legend to certificates  representing
shares of stock  purchased upon exercise of options  indicating that such shares
have not been registered with the Securities and Exchange  Commission and may so
notify its transfer agent.

      (i)   An optionee  or  transferee  of an option  shall have no rights as a
shareholder  of the  Company  with  respect to any shares  covered by any option
until  the date of the  issuance  of a share  certificate  for such  shares.  No
adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether cash,
securities  or other  property) or  distributions  or other rights for which the
record  date is prior to the date such share  certificate  is issued,  except as
provided  for in paragraph  5(k).  Nothing in the Plan or in any Letter of Grant
shall  confer  upon any  employee  any right to  continue  in the  employ of the
Company or any of its  subsidiaries,  or  interfere in any way with any right of
the Company or any  subsidiary  to terminate  the  optionee's  employment at any
time.

      (j)   The Company  shall not be required to issue  fractional  shares upon
the exercise of an option.

      (k)   If the outstanding shares of stock of the class then subject to this
Plan  are  increased  or  decreased,  or are  changed  into or  exchanged  for a
different  number or kind of shares  or  securities,  as a result of one or more
reorganizations,  recapitalizations,  stock splits,  reverse stock splits, stock
dividends  and the like,  appropriate  adjustments  shall be made in the  number
and/or type of shares or securities  for which options may thereafter be granted
under  this Plan and for which  options  then  outstanding  under  this Plan may
thereafter be exercised.  Any such  adjustments in outstanding  options shall be
made without changing the aggregate exercise price applicable to the unexercised
portions of such options.

      (l)   Subject to the terms and  conditions  and within the  limitations of
the Plan, the Board or committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding options
granted  under the Plan,  accept the  surrender of  outstanding  options (to the
extent not theretofore exercised),  and authorize the granting of new options in
substitutions   therefor   (to   the   extent   not   theretofore    exercised).
Notwithstanding the foregoing,  no modification of an option shall,  without the
consent of the  optionee,  alter or impair any rights of the optionee  under the
option.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Board or committee
may not reprice  outstanding  options nor may the Board or the committee  accept
the surrender of outstanding options in conjunction with a grant

                               Ex. 99.1 - Page -4-
<PAGE>
of new options in  substitution  therefor  at an  exercise  price lower than the
price of the options  surrendered,  and this sentence may not be amended without
consent of the Board and ratification by the Company's stockholders.

      (m)   Each option may contain such other terms,  provisions and conditions
not  inconsistent  with the Plan as may be determined by the Board or committee,
such  as  without  limitation  discretionary  performance  standards,  mandatory
purchase  of shares on the open  market on a pro rata  basis or tax  withholding
provisions.

6.    Termination or Amendment of the Plan
      ------------------------------------

      The  Board or  committee  may at any time  terminate  or amend  the  Plan;
provided that,  without  approval of the shareholders of the Company there shall
be, except by operation of the provisions of paragraph  5(k), no increase in the
total  number  of  shares  covered  by the  Plan,  and no change in the class of
persons  eligible to receive options under the Plan; and provided  further that,
without the consent of the optionee,  no amendment or termination  may adversely
affect any outstanding option or any unexercised portion thereof.

7.    Shareholder Approval and Term of the Plan
      -----------------------------------------

      The Plan shall be effective as of October 1987, subject to ratification by
the shareholders of the Company.  Unless sooner  terminated by the Board, in its
sole discretion, the Plan will expire in October 1997.

8.    Acceleration of Exercisability and Vesting Under Certain Circumstances.
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------

      Notwithstanding  any  provision  in the Plan to the  contrary,  unless the
particular letter of grant provides otherwise,  75% of the unvested options held
by each optionee  shall  automatically  become  exercisable  and vested upon the
occurrence,  before  the  expiration  or  termination  of  such  option,  of the
acquisition  by a  third  party  of  100% of the  Company's  outstanding  equity
securities,  a merger in which the Company is not the surviving  corporation,  a
sale  of  all  or  substantially  all  of the  Company's  assets,  or a  similar
reorganization of the Company (collectively, "Accelerating Events"). The balance
of each optionee's unvested options will vest and become exercisable in 12 equal
monthly  installments  following the occurrence of any  Accelerating  Event,  or
according to the optionee's  individual  vesting schedule as applicable  without
regard to this  Section  8,  whichever  is  earlier.  If an  optionee  loses his
position with the Company as a result of or  subsequent to the  occurrence of an
Accelerating  Event, 100% of the unexpired and unvested options granted pursuant
to this Plan (other  than  options  granted  pursuant to Section 9 of this Plan)
held by such  optionee  shall  automatically  become  vested  upon  such loss of
position.  This  Section 8 shall apply to options  granted  before and after the
effective date of this Section 8.

9.    Automatic Grants to Certain Directors.
      --------------------------------------

                               Ex. 99.1 - Page -5-
<PAGE>
      (a)   Effective May 21, 1993,  each  Compensation  Committee  Member shall
automatically  be  granted  options to acquire  18,000  shares of the  Company's
Common Stock.

      (b)   Effective  upon  the date of the  Annual  Meeting  of the  Company's
stockholders  held in 1996, (i) each  Compensation  Committee  Member elected on
that date for a three-year  term as a member of the Company's Board of Directors
shall automatically be granted options to acquire 18,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock; (ii) each  Compensation  Committee Member then serving as a member
of the class of  directors  whose  terms  expire at the 1997  Annual  Meeting of
Stockholders  shall  automatically be granted options to acquire 6,000 shares of
the Company's  Common Stock; and (iii) each  Compensation  Committee Member then
serving as a member of the class of  directors  whose  terms  expire at the 1998
Annual Meeting of Stockholders shall automatically be granted options to acquire
12,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.

      (c)   Thereafter,  each Compensation  Committee Member shall automatically
be granted options for 18,000 shares of the Company's  Common Stock on each date
upon  which  such  person is  elected  to a  three-year  term as a member of the
Company's Board of Directors.

      (d)   Any person who becomes a Compensation  Committee  Member on the date
of such person's  election to the Board of Directors  shall,  effective upon the
initial  date of such  person's  membership  on the Board of  Directors  and the
Compensation Committee thereof, automatically be granted options for a number of
shares  determined  by  multiplying  1,500 by the  number of  calendar  quarters
remaining  prior to the  scheduled  expiration  of the term of such  person as a
member of the Company's Board of Directors.

      (e)   Options  granted  pursuant  to this  Section 9 shall have a ten-year
term and shall vest at the rate of 1,500  shares at the end of each  three-month
period  following  the effective  date of grant,  provided that options can vest
only while the optionee  remains a member of the  Company's  Board of Directors.
The exercise  price of options  granted  pursuant to this Section 9 shall be the
fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant.

      (f)   This  Section 9 shall not be amended more than once every six months
other than to comport  with changes in the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as
amended, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules thereunder.
