Continuous imaging of internal organs over days could provide crucial information about health and diseases and enable insights into developmental biology. We report a bioadhesive ultrasound (BAUS) device that consists of a thin and rigid ultrasound probe robustly adhered to the skin via a couplant made of a soft, tough, antidehydrating, and bioadhesive hydrogel-elastomer hybrid. The BAUS device provides 48 hours of continuous imaging of diverse internal organs, including blood vessels, muscle, heart, gastrointestinal tract, diaphragm, and lung. The BAUS device could enable diagnostic and monitoring tools for various diseases.

生物粘附超声对不同器官进行长期连续成像

连续数天对内部器官进行成像可以提供有关健康和疾病的重要信息，并有助于深入了解发育生物学。我们报告了一种生物粘附超声 (BAUS) 装置，该装置由一个薄而坚硬的​​超声探头组成，该探头通过一种由柔软、坚韧、抗脱水和生物粘附性水凝胶-弹性体混合物制成的耦合剂牢固地粘附在皮肤上。BAUS 设备可对各种内部器官（包括血管、肌肉、心脏、胃肠道、隔膜和肺）进行 48 小时的连续成像。BAUS 设备可以启用各种疾病的诊断和监测工具。
