GE’s Vscan, World’s Smallest Portable Ultrasound, Now Available Worldwide

February 16th, 2010 Medgadget Editors Anesthesiology, Cardiac Surgery, Cardiology, Critical Care, Emergency Medicine, Medicine, Military Medicine, Ob/Gyn, Pediatrics, Radiology, Surgery, Urology, Vascular Surgery


GE Healthcare is finally releasing the much awaited Vscan pocket sized ultrasound. Many in the industry hope that this device offers a chance for physicians to make a move from stethoscopes to portable imaging devices, bringing advanced visualization to any examination room. The unit weighs one pound and is only 3 inches (7.6 cm) wide and 5.3 inches (13.5 cm) long, offering both standard black and white imaging, as well as colored blood flow doppler. GE is touting Vscan’s size and capabilities for cardiologists to transthoracically view myocardium, pericardium, and heart valves, and for primary care physicians, as well as OB, ER, and others, to scan the liver, kidney, aorta and peripheral vessels, babies in the womb, and anything else the transducer can penetrate.
Features from the product FAQ:

  • An online portal provides Vscan users with training tools for the product and basic clinical
    applications with sections about imaging technique, anatomy and trouble shooting
  • Intuitive user interface that can be controlled using the thumb
  • Intelligent workflow enhancements
  • Battery charger station and battery life of one hour scanning – good for up to 30 patients based on
    average of 2 minutes per scan
  • Voice annotation
  • USB docking station
  • Link to a PC for organization and export of data
  • Gateway software with services tools and remote diagnostics
  • Here’s our video from a GE event introducing the Vscan:
