GE Vscan Portable Ultrasound Clam Shell Scanner
General Electric has unveiled a pocket-sized ultrasound at Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco. Looking very similar (and not much more) than a clam-shell phone, the device enables physicians to scan any part of the body by placing the wand attached to him. The system will be able to see real-time black and white or color images of internal body on the screen vscan and data can be also be recorded and reviewed at a later date.

A microphone-like wand attached to the main body of the device sends and receives data sound wave upon contact with the body. This is then translated into an image on the screen vscan for analysis by the physician. Zoom in and out, panning left and right image controls others are supported with a familiar interface dial key on the lower half of the clam-shell body. The images are rendered in real-time black and white, but color overlays can be added.
General Electric has confirmed that the company will now undertake a clinical study of a dozen sites in Asia, the United States and Europe to examine how the vscan can be used in the field and what the impact on patient care . Immelt has suggested that the product will hit the market during 2010, although no pricing information has been forthcoming. [via gizmag]
