This brand-new scanner that has two probes in one is an incredible breakthrough. By combining phased array and linear array in the same device you can probably do 95 to 99% of all the ultrasound scanning, whatever imaging you’re doing, with this single device. And you can do it with something that is an extraordinarily reasonable cost. Hand-carried systems are the future. Clinicians are much more likely to use ultrasound when they can pull it from their pocket for the exam instead of pushing a big cart into a small trauma room.”

The new PAL HD3 scanner is a big breakthrough. Integrating both the phased and linear array means you only have to carry one transducer around for 95 to 99% of the studies at the bedside.
