GE, Sound Technologies partner to distribute Vscan Air to veterinarians

GE HealthCare and Sound Technologies, the global veterinary imaging leader announced an agreement to distribute the Vscan Air, a cutting-edge, wireless pocket-sized ultrasound that provides crystal clear image quality, whole-patient scanning capabilities, and intuitive software – to veterinary practices in the United States. Ultrasound applications in veterinary care present the opportunity to transform healthcare for dogs, cats, horses, cows, pigs, goats and exotic animals including small mammals and reptiles. Ultrasound enables the examination of internal organs in precise detail without the risk of ionized radiation and is generally inexpensive. It is an important tool in veterinary medicine as it allows vets to diagnose a range of conditions that animals are susceptible to and enables vets to examine internal organs in precise detail, unlike X-rays that typically provide an overall picture of the area.
