The study was prompted, in part, by a medical student in the U.S. who wanted the chance to help the people in his homeland of Yugoslavia. <br>Veljko Popov, a medical student at Dartmouth Medical School in Lebanon, NH, and Robert Harris, MD, associate professor of radiology at Dartmouth, had visited Yugoslavia in early 2004, bringing with them a compact ultrasound unit to be donated at a remote hospital there. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.newswise.com/articles/view/511644/?sc=dwhp " target="blank">www.newswise.com/articles/view/511644/?sc=dwhp </a></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
