Ultrasound procedures are about to get a lot faster and less cumbersome. Siemens moves toward peacing out from those gigantor innards-spying contraptions, replacing them with sleeker, hand-held ultrasound models like the Acuson P10, which debuted at last weeks' 18th Annual Scientific Sessions of the American Society of Echocardiography in Seattle. The P10 is "a system... intended primarily for triage and screening applications in acute care settings" and is currently undergoing clinical trials in the US. The unit has been designed to fit right into lab coat pockets, improve doctor-patient communication, weighs 1.6 pounds, powers up in 5 seconds, has on-board memory for storing images and video clips, and sports a simplified, intuitive user interface.

this is not to be sold to consumers.
