With a portable ultrasound device reduces the need for specialist studies.

Stethoscope is an important tool for doctors and is sometimes used as a symbol of care. Now General Electric has developed an ultrasonic device that the company hopes will be "2000s stethoscope". Instead of just listening to the heart, lungs and respiratory system will now be able to watch the doctor into the body of their patients.

The device is called Vscan and presented at the conference Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco.

With an ultrasound machine in his pocket for a doctor to do advanced studies at home visits or in places where there are no hospitals nearby.

For example, to check whether a patient has fluid retention in the heart and examine the heart's pumping ability.

Quickly to do so can lead to a better and more appropriate treatment.

In addition, do not have doctors to refer patients to the hospital for ultrasound examination of the place can do directly.

The presentation of Vscan was made by General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt.

- This is Moore's Law. The device is as powerful as three years old hospital model, which costs 250 000 dollars, "said Jeff Immelt according to Cnet.

But he indicated there is no price for Vscan other than that it is cheap and will go on sale next year.

Until Vscan be examined at twelve leading clinics around the world to investigate how the device works in actual use.
