Oct. 31, 2024 — Researchers have developed a compact, wearable ultrasound device that monitors muscle activity. Attachable to the skin with an adhesive and powered by a small battery ...

Ultrasound uses high frequency sound waves to produce images. Sound waves are sent and received through a small hand held device known as a transducer. The returning sound waves are used to produce ...

Fetal pain has long been a contentious issue, in large part because fetal pain is often cited as a reason to restrict access to termination of pregnancy or abortion. We have divergent views regarding ...

Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses the differential reflectance of acoustic waves at ultrasonic frequencies to detect objects and measure distances. It is commonly used for ...

Exploring the potential of transcranial ultrasound stimulation to precisely target and treat brain circuit disorders noninvasively. Study: The future of transcranial ultrasound as a precision ...

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a wearable ultrasound device that can provide long-term, wireless monitoring of muscle activity with potential applications in ...

as well as a host of other life-changing medical questions with the help of ultrasound technology. Beyond babies, sonograms are used to help diagnose medical conditions by creating images of body ...

This is known as a fetal movement assessment, fetal kick count, or fetal movement counting. While reduced movements or counts done at home can be worrisome, they may not be reliable. If you feel ...

Perinatal asphyxia, or birth asphyxia, results from an inadequate intake of oxygen by the baby during the birth process — before, during or just after birth. Decreased oxygen intake can result in ...
