Vscan Extend is a general purpose diagnostic ultrasound
imaging system for use by qualified and trained healthcare
professionals enabling visualization and measurement of
anatomical structures and fluid. It's pocket-sized portability and
simplified user interface enables integration into examination

veins); Thoracic/Lung (e.g. pleural motion/sliding, line artifacts);
Adult Cephalic; and Pediatrics.
With the addition of the linear array transducer on the single
dual headed probe solution, the specific clinical applications and
exam types are expanded to include: Peripheral vascular
imaging (e.g. lower extremity, carotid); Procedure Guidance for
