Miniature Ultrasound Scanner
The GE Vscan ultrasound scanner.
Jeff Immelt, CEO of General Electric, announced a low-cost and very portable ultrasound scanner called the Vscan.
"It's about the same size as a BlackBerry," Immelt said, holding up a white device that appeared to fold in the middle like a flip-phone. The top of the device showed an ultrasound image (of a patient's liver, we were told), while the bottom showed control keys.
"This is Moore's law," he said, saying that the device had the same power as a console ultrasound from two to three years ago that would cost US$250,000.
