Using medical diagnostic technology developed by GE Healthcare and educational techniques developed by NASA and Henry Ford Hospital, Wayne State University School of Medicine and Henry Ford have partnered to train medical students on the use of portable ultrasound equipment.
GE Healthcare has provided 30 of the lightweight ultrasound devices - the size of a computer laptop - for students to learn how to diagnose a wide range of ailments and Henry Ford coordinates the training.
"We see this form of ultrasound as an important tool to help state-of-the-art medicine grow," said Robert Frank, M.D., executive vice dean of Wayne State's medical school. "It is an empowering technology that will provide care to underserved areas - urban and rural - by putting ultrasound in the hands of all physicians."
