[[Sigmund Frigstad] You know portable ultrasound for years ]
[has been a dream of many clinicians.]
[They want to take the technology of ultrasound and take it to the patient bedside.]
[[Kjell Kristoffersen] These scans will give the doctor an ability]
[to quickly take a look at something inside the body.]
[Today we can only feel or listen with his stethoscope. ]
[[Sigmund Frigstad] 4D technology has been instrumental in developing Vscan.]
[[Kjell Kristoffersen] 4D ultrasound is when you can look at the 3-dimensional images]
[[Al Lojewski] 4D ultrasound has really helped us technologically move that miniaturization]
[that was required to make 4D a reality, and we've leveraged that technology]
[into our pocket-size Vscan device.]
[[Sigmund Frigstad] Our target with Vscan is really to have a quick look into the body.]
[We have designed it to be very easy to use.]
[We have very few buttons on the device.]
[When you open it up, it automatically goes into scanning mode.]
[[Al Lojewski] Vscan will change the way that doctors look at patients.]
[He can see what is really going on, and that will make him much more confident]
[[Sigmund Frigstad] We believe that Vscan is going to be used ]
[by the vast majority of physicians,]
[whether that's cardiologists or primary care physician or an emergency room in Africa.]
[We really hope that this is going to truly change the way all physicians worldwide ]
[interact with their patients because of the ability to take a look and really understand]
[what's going on inside the body and the immediacy right in your pocket.]
