Virginia Tech students benefit from new US technology

Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine in Roanoke has debuted ultrasound technology for the classroom that consists of portable machines outfitted with 12-lead electrocardiogram technology.

The devices allow students to view images of the heart as they measure electrical activity through the electrodes attached to a subject's body, according to the school.

Carilion School of Medicine said it is one of only a few to have a designated ultrasound curriculum. First-year students learn to identify basic anatomical structures, while second-year students learn to identify pathology.
