"MIT's Innovative Ultrasound Sticker Detects Disease in Internal Organs"
MIT engineers have developed a postage stamp-sized ultrasound sticker that can be worn on the skin to monitor internal organs for signs of disease like liver or kidney failure, as well as track the progression of solid tumors. The sticker sends sound waves through the skin and into the body, which reflect off internal organs and return to the sticker. By measuring and tracking the pattern of reflected waves, the sticker can provide a signature of organ rigidity, offering a non-invasive method for disease monitoring.
