GE Healthcare announced that its Vscan pocket-sized visualization tool has been named the Grand Award winner for Health in Popular Science magazine's 23rd annual "Best of What's New" issue. Commercially available earlier this year, Vscan provides physicians powerful imaging technology at their fingertips - to take a quick look at what is happening inside a patient's body.

"Vscan was designed to help enhance patient care by providing access to high-quality imaging at point-of-care, to help detect disease and complications earlier," said Agnes Berzsenyi, General Manager, Global Primary Care -- Ultrasound , GE Healthcare. "We are honored to be recognized by Popular Science for this advancement to the field of healthcare."

Vscan may prove invaluable for physicians in today's busy practice environment - including primary care physicians and those specializing in cardiology, critical care and women's health, as well as hospitalists. Vscan is available in countries around the globe including the U.S., Canada, Europe and India.
