Dr. Martin Altersberger is a Cardiologist in Steyr, Austria and an early clinical evaluator of GE Healthcare's Vscan Air wireless, portable, handheld ultrasound. In this video, Dr. Altersberger talks about the image clarity of the Vscan Air and how he has used the Vscan Air in his practice.
Dr. Altersberger used the Vscan Air during COVID-19 to scan the heart and differentiate the pericardial effusion. Altersberger recalls how clearly you can see the fluid in pericarditis or pericardial involvement. The device wirelessly beams images from the ultrasound probe to an app on his smartphone.
Listen in on his Vscan Air review.
"The Vscan Air preset is, in my point of view, just perfect." -Dr. Martin Altersberger
Vscan Air is a wireless, portable, handheld ultrasound system that helps you make clinical decisions by quickly ruling in or out a variety of conditions. Gain the power of a high-performance system in a pocket-sized solution. It’s small, lightweight and wireless, providing you with a convenient, durable and flexible ultrasound solution.
The Vscan Air ultrasound system enters the market as one of the smallest and lightweight handheld ultrasound devices with the exceptional image quality and advanced visualization software that Vscan Family users have come to rely on for quick clinical insights. With Vscan Air, you won’t have to compromise on image quality to have a probe that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand.
The probe pairs with a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth and sends data to the application on the mobile device over Wi-Fi, so there’s no need for an internet connection. Clinicians can use both ends of the probe to scan patients. One end holds a transducer — the component that sends out sound waves into the body and also listens to their echoes — designed for high-frequency scanning of organs close to the skin like the thyroid and some veins. The other end has a transducer emitting sound at lower frequencies and designed for scanning organs deeper in the body like the lungs and heart.
