Previous wearable ultrasound devices have tended to rely on stretchable transducer arrays. While these can deform with the skin, this flexibility causes the transducers to move relative to each other, ...

Known as wearable bioadhesive ultrasound elastography, BAUS-E, the sticker is about the size of a postage stamp, comprising a thin transducer array that sends sound waves through the skin into the ...

MIT researchers have designed a wearable ultrasound patch that can image the bladder as well as a conventional ultrasound does, without the need for cold gel or an operator. The device could also ...

This innovative, postage stamp-sized ultrasound ‘sticker’ is made up of layers of rubbery elastomer, watery hydrogel, and an array of tiny ultrasound probes.

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.

The probe consists of two transducers containing 28 phased array elements each. DMA probes come in different sizes, frequencies, and number of elements, appropriate for a wide range of inspections.

The doctor inserts the ultrasound probe into your rectum and takes the biopsy samples. They’ll use a medication to numb the area, but it may hurt a little or feel uncomfortable.
