A transvaginal ultrasound is an internal scan of the female reproductive organs. It involves inserting a small ultrasound probe, called a transducer, into the vagina to produce incredibly detailed ...

To create the ultrasound probe, the scientists used 3D printing, laser micromachining, and photolithography, in which light is used to create a pattern on a photosensitive material.

A wearable ultrasound device can provide 48 hours of continuous imaging of internal organs while patients go about their daily lives. The device – developed by a team headed up at Massachusetts ...

A thin, elongated ultrasound probe is used for this procedure. “It is normally around 5-7 cms long and around the width of a finger,” says Dr Gareth Nye, senior lecturer of physiology at ...

Engineers designed an adhesive patch that produces ultrasound images of the body. The stamp-sized device sticks to skin and can provide continuous ultrasound imaging of internal organs for 48 hours.

An ultrasound probe sends these waves through a layer of gooey gel into the human body, where they bounce off organs and other internal structures and then return to the transducer array.

Conventionally, to image with ultrasound, a technician first applies a liquid gel to a patient's skin, transmitting ultrasound waves. A probe, or transducer, is then pressed against the gel ...

The resulting platform, described in new research published in Science, can be used for tools like wearable ultrasound probes that help provide continuous, hands-free monitoring of internal tissue ...
