Medical scanner

A medical scanner, also known as a hand scanner, medpac scanner, medisensor, diagnoster, Hand-Held Diagnostic Scanner^[1] or medical scanner^[2] was a type of medical device that could be used to determine a patient's medical condition. Medisensor's were short-ranged devices but could be patched into larger sensor systems to increase their range. They were often included in medpacs. Wilek Nereus used a Medisensor to monitor Luke Skywalker's health after he allegedly ingested a Olabrian trichoid. The BioTech RFX/K Medisensor was a type of medisensor.

Chiewab Amalgamated Pharmaceuticals Company's ECM-598 Medical Backpack contained a medisensor to diagnose a patient's injuries and suggest recommended treatment.^[1]
