DOCTORS and medical officers will now be able to make early diagnostic readings of certain diseases with an ultrasound handheld device which can be used with WiFi connection.

During the first Northern Region Ultrasound Handheld Course (NRUSH) by Kepala Batas Hospital, 54 medical professionals from Kedah, Perlis and Penang attended the course to familiarise themselves with the usage of the device.
