Vscan: Bom para o ruim e ótimo para o bom.

Diagnostic Utility and Clinical Usefulness of the Pocket Echocardiographic Device
.
 Results: 96% of patients had echocardiographic measurements completed by both PE TTE and sTTE. The dimensions measured with PE TTE by the resident and the cardiologist showed good to excellent correlation with sTTE (r = 0.64–0.96, P < 0.001). The agreement in detection of various pathologies between PE TTE performed by the resident and sTTE examinations was moderate to very good, whereas it was good to excellent if PE TTE was performed by the experienced cardiologist. 
.
 Conclusion: The diagnostic accuracy of the PE in basic assessment of cardiac morphology and function as compared to standard echocardiography is moderate to very good for a cardiology resident and good to excellent for an experienced cardiologist. (Echocardiography 2012;29:1-6)

É assim:
Nas mão de um ecocardiografista treinado, o Vscan é quase um Eco completo.
Nas mãos de um residente de Eco, o Vscan é bem melhor que o estetoscópio!!!!
