Remarkable scanning idea.
Ultrasound Stickers Could Continuously Image Internal Organs for Days
New Scientist, Jeremy Hsu, July 28, 2022
Xuanhe Zhao and colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a wearable ultrasound sticker that can image the wearer's internal organs continuously for 48 hours. The researchers integrated a transducer that generates and detects ultrasound waves with a patch combining hydrogel to transmit the waves, and flexible elastomer material. The researchers stuck the stickers to volunteers who performed various actions, and were able to image changes in the size and shape of their organs during those activities. The stickers currently have to be connected by wires to a computer, which translates the ultrasound waves into images and collects the data.... '
