Accelerate answers – deeper connectionFor Cardiologists, Vscan is a pocket-sized ultrasound device that provides immediate information to help answer focused cardiovascular questions which can improve efficiency of patient management and strengthening their role as specialist.

For Point of Care providers, Vscan is a pocket-sized visualization tool that provides more clues & enhances their discoveries to help them maintain a deeper connection with their patients. That’s because Vscan allows them to take an easy look inside the body that enhances the physical exam.
