Portable ultrasound scanner

A portable ultrasound scanner of the size of a large mobile phone which,
medics claim, would help speed up diagnosis for emergency patients has been
launched in Europe and North America

The developer of the 5,000 pounds machine, G E Healthcare, says it is not designed as an alternative to traditional scanners but to offer a fast diagnosis and enable early treatment under emergency conditions.
The Vscan device can be used to take images of the heart and other parts of the body of the patients, who are
away from a hospital — like at home or on military operations,“Telegraph”reported”.
