Medical Equipments Reviews

Many of us have seen a doctor and seen (or experienced) the ultrasound machines, which among other things are used to see babies in the womb, or scan your brain.

However, these machines are usually quite large, and the most modern “portable” is the size of a printer.

For now the GE (General Electric) has demonstrated a truly portable ultrasound system the size of a cell phone, which he calls the vscan GE Ultrasound System.

In this first generation, the device can operate for up to 1 h duration with a battery (exchangeable) integrated, and microSD cards can store images and videos, which can later be downloaded to PCs and traditional computers can even burn notes voice separately.

The standard equipment is configured for HP, OBGYN, and Abd (terms such equipment operators understand) and color Doppler support across the screen, which step can be manipulated with your fingers to issue commands and make JOINING zoom like an iPhone.

The device will be available next year at U.S. $ 10,000, and it is currently being tested in some health centers.

It is important to note that these teams started costing millions of dollars and being the size of an entire room, after hundreds of thousands of dollars, and now cost $ 10,000 and fit in the palm of the hand. A great testament to the exponential growth of technology, which incidentally causes a reduction in costs exponentially.

In the future I imagine that these devices do not use screens, but images deployed directly onto the retina of the operator with technologies like this.
