GE Healthcare announces the availability of Vscan, a new, pocket-sized visualization tool to provide physicians with imaging capabilities at the point-of-care.

Roughly the size of a smart phone, Vscan houses ultra-smart ultrasound technology that provides clinicians with an immediate, noninvasive method to help secure visual information inside the body, according to the release. Physicians can take the portable device from room to room for use in a variety of clinical, hospital, or primary care settings.

Vscan leverages GE’s black and white image technology and color-coded blood flow imaging in a device that fits into a pocket and weighs less than one pound at 3 inches wide and 5.3 inches long.

Other features include an online portal that provides Vscan users with training tools for the product and basic clinical applications, a battery charger station and battery life of one hour scanning—good for up to 30 patients based on an average of 2 minutes per scan—and a link to a PC for organization and export of data.
