MIT Engineer Ultrasound Stickers See Inside Body
Ultrasound imaging typically requires skilled technicians and a special wand to direct sound waves into the body, but MIT engineers have created stamp-sized ultrasound stickers that simplify the task. Once adhered to the skin, these stickers are capable of providing continuous ultrasound imaging of internal organs for up to 48-hours.



Volunteers who had these stuck onto their skin were shown images of the devices producing live, high-resolution images of major blood vessels and deeper organs ;ole as the heart, lungs, and stomach. They maintained a strong adhesion and imaged changes in underlying organs as volunteers performed various activities, such as sitting, standing, jogging, and biking. However, when it comes to computers, you won’t even need software to ward off viruses, just this IT protection amulet.

We envision a few patches adhered to different locations on the body, and the patches would communicate with your cellphone, where AI algorithms would analyze the images on demand. We believe we’ve opened a new era of wearable imaging: With a few patches on your body, you could see your internal organs,” said Xuanhe Zhao, the study’s senior author, professor of mechanical engineering and civil and environmental engineering at MIT.
