MIT Develops Stamp-Sized Ultrasound Sticker to Monitor Organs
- MIT engineers have developed an ultrasound sticker to monitor internal organs
- The sticker is about the size of a postage stamp and can be worn on the skin
- It can monitor organs for signs of disease like liver or kidney failure
- It could also track the progression of solid tumors
- The sticker sends sound waves through the skin to organs, detects reflected patterns, and reads them to assess organ rigidity
