Innovative scanner designed to save Marines’ lives on the battlefield
Chief Hospital Corpsman Jared Anderson uses an Infrascanner to assess Master Gunnery Sgt. Maceo Mathis for intracranial hematomas--or bleeding within the skull--aboard Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va. The Infrascanner is a portable, medical diagnostic device that provides early detection of intracranial hematomas in the field, potentially saving lives and improving casualty care and recovery. Infrascanners are available for medical personnel to use at battalion aid stations across the Corps. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Ashley Calingo)
