See Inside Your Body

Product Information

Each page discusses a function in the human body, covering the main parts and really breaking it down for the reader. A regular part of traveling today is going through the airport body scanner before boarding your flight.

Does the book contain anything that teachers would wish to know about before recommending in class (strong language, sensitive topics etc. It is educational and enjoyable, and is great for independent reading for those who show interest in real-life topics. A typical scan lasts between 15 and 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being scanned and how many ‘pictures’ are taken.

I bought this for my 3-year-9-month-old who keeps getting out our human anatomy book because she loves "bones" (maybe I have a budding forensic anthropologist in the house? The bottom elastomer layer is designed to stick to skin, while the top layer adheres to a rigid array of transducers that the team also designed and fabricated.

Ultimately this show is about empowerment of ordinary people to take charge of their own lives, and about the wonder of the human body! It’s a very safe and painless way to get a look inside, which is why it’s used to see babies inside their mummy’s tummies. A probe, or transducer, is then pressed against the gel, sending sound waves into the body that echo off internal structures and back to the probe, where the echoed signals are translated into visual images.

The entire ultrasound sticker measures about 2 square centimeters across, and 3 millimeters thick — about the area of a postage stamp. To capture these images, trained technicians manipulate ultrasound wands and probes to direct sound waves into the body. Then, Zhao envisions ultrasound stickers could be packaged and purchased by patients and consumers, and used not only to monitor various internal organs, but also the progression of tumors, as well as the development of fetuses in the womb. When you’re sick, there’s a power imbalance – the doctor has all the knowledge and patients can feel like they have very little say over what’s happening to them.

For patients who require long periods of imaging, some hospitals offer probes affixed to robotic arms that can hold a transducer in place without tiring, but the liquid ultrasound gel flows away and dries out over time, interrupting long-term imaging.

MIT engineers have developed a medical ultrasound system that uses a patch the size of a postage stamp, reports Hiawatha Bray for The Boston Globe.

But in the first episode we meet Hilda, who had one of the worst cases of fibroids her consultant had ever seen. If the body scanner just plain gives you the creeps, you can opt out entirely and request a pat down from an TSA officer who is the same gender as you, though this generally takes longer so make sure to allow for extra time at the airport. The stickers stayed attached to their skin, and produced clear images of underlying structures for up to 48 hours. But this isn’t just for patients – the truth is, despite all my years of medical training, I’d never seen the human body quite like I did on this show. During a scan you lie on the bed and a small ‘receiving device’ is placed behind, or around, the part of your body being scanned.And with lots of slices, you can make pictures of the body from different angles and also 3D models. Professor Hallux, Nurse Nanobot and Body have made their way to the Imaging department at their local hospital where there’s lots of different types of radiology to see inside a body, and lots of different machines. Když si čteme, tak si to dokáže spojit s tím co jsem jí říkala o fungování těla dříve, třeba při obtížích (horečka, bolení bříška, zakuckání se, nebo telesné procesy obecně).
