Mini ultrasound machine can detect heart problems

Coming soon to a physician's office near you ... the Mini Ultrasound Machine. Most small doctor's offices don't have room for CT scanners, but in the tradition of miniaturizing technology, a new 2-pound ultrasound machine can just as accurately spot heart trouble.

The new Acuson P10 provides doctors with the ability to easily examine patients for fluid around the heart, blocked blood vessels, and irregular valve movement.

Don't be surprised if you see this new gizmo at your GP's office the next time you're in for a visit.
