研究人员报告了一种生物粘附超声（BAUS）装置，它包括一个薄而硬的超声探头，通过一个由柔软、坚韧、抗脱水和生物粘附的水凝胶-弹性体混合体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进行48小时的连续成像，包括血管、肌肉、心脏、胃肠道、膈肌和肺。BAUS设备可以成为各种疾病的诊断和监测工具。
据介绍，内部器官的连续成像可以提供有关健康和疾病的关键信息，并使人们能够深入了解发育生物学。

Abstract: 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.
