This pocket-sized ultrasound by GE is being called 'the stethoscope of the 21st century.'  The miniaturized device produces images on a phone-sized platform and wirelessly transmits data.  A quick scan can reveal whether a baby is in breach position.  GE will test the vScan in 12 leading clinical sites throughout the world and eventually create a structural protocol for Vscan exams.

We believe it is priced at about £5,000 in UK and is available in Canada and India as well (well below the price of a traditional ultrasound).  Contact GE here for a price.
