"In emergency situations you have the need for rapid patient assessment, and in many environments like helicopters or ambulances, you have limited space," said Klaus Hambuchen, chief executive officer, Ultrasound, Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. "The ACUSON P10 system is the ideal solution to bring ultrasound imaging to these scenarios. It is small and portable, there are no concerns about radiation exposure in unprotected areas, and it is digital, so images can be saved and transmitted easily."

Bridging the gap between the stethoscope and an ultrasound machine, the ACUSON P10 system enables more substantiated and fast decision-making regarding the subsequent course of treatment for the patient. The multifunctional pocket ultrasound system is being used today in emergency medicine, cardiology and obstetrics. More information is available at http://www.pocketultrasound.com
