Great Lakes Mystery: Wreck Hunter Hopes GE CT Scanner Can Identify 300-Year-Old Ship

GE Reports Staff

September 25, 2013

It was a good day for sailing on Sept. 18, 1679, when the French ship Le Griffon left an island harbor in Lake Michigan’s Green Bay. A light wind blew from the west, perfect conditions for the vessel’s voyage to Niagara Falls to pick up supplies.

But good weather in the morning, as any visitor to the Great Lakes knows, can turn foul before breakfast ends. A storm came up on the water the day after the 45-ton, three-masted ship set sail. Neither it nor its crew of six was ever seen again.

High in the hills of remote West Timor, Australian doctors are treating patients with the help of some innovative portable technology.
One of those doctors is Brian Miller, a member of the Overseas Specialist Surgical Association of Australia (OSSAA).

Brian has visited the region ten times, and now carries with him new scanning technology, such as ultrasound machines, previously restricted to modern city hospitals.

GE’s Vscan is the size of a mobile phone, small enough for use in virtually any location.

Doctor visits tend to be quiet affairs, unless an MRI exam, or a root canal, is on the agenda. An MR scanner can generate noise in excess of 110 decibels, enough to rival a rock concert. There is a good reason why this happens. “An MRI scanner is like a huge version of a speaker in your home,” says engineer Bryan Mock, who manages GE Healthcare’s MRI products. “They both have magnets inside and a coil of wire that carries electric current,” Mock says.

Concussions are a major concern in sports, but they can happen anywhere. At least 1.7 million traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) occur in the United States annually. These head traumas contribute to a third of all injury-related deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
