Given that it's bouncing high-frequency sound off your innards and basically performing radar imaging, there aren't too many other shapes it can take.<br><br>And it would probably amuse all the kids that the ultrasound wands are typically covered in alcohol-based jellies to improve conductivity and image resolution.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ken]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 26th 2006 8:56AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Plug and Play Ultrasound Probe]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/26/plug-and-play-ultrasound-probe/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/26/plug-and-play-ultrasound-probe/</guid><description><![CDATA[If you look at the Direct Medical website, it looks like these are "for veterinary use only".

It is a dangerous tool in the wrong hands.  As someone who has studied sound and its effects, I want to remind you ultrasound is used to break up kidney stones and clean dental tools.  The last thing you want to do is make your kid a living kidney stone, even if the risk might be small.<br><br>Further, what is ultrasonic to us could very well be sonic to unborn children.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Barry]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 26th 2006 11:00AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Plug and Play Ultrasound Probe]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/26/plug-and-play-ultrasound-probe/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/26/plug-and-play-ultrasound-probe/</guid><description><![CDATA[#11--More than likely this is because the device is not yet FDA approved.  Looking at the front page of the DMS site, they are seeking FDA approval (which would allow human use) and expect to have it by fall.  This really would be cool for places that can not afford an ultrasound machine or where it would be impractical (field use).<br><br>#15--What are you talking about?  I could imagine if the amplitude were high enough and the frequency were right damage MIGHT be a possibility, but generally the amplitude used by a device such as this is far too low to cause damage.  Ultrasound has been used for pre-natal imaging for years.  I can not recall any documented cases of fetal injury due to ultrasound.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[iamcoldnorth]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 26th 2006 1:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Plug and Play Ultrasound Probe]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/26/plug-and-play-ultrasound-probe/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/26/plug-and-play-ultrasound-probe/</guid><description><![CDATA[hahhaa "we got a portable ultrasound where gonna look at your baby!"<br><br>you guys sure do dig the J+J+J dontcha.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dejitaru]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 26th 2006 2:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Plug and Play Ultrasound Probe]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/26/plug-and-play-ultrasound-probe/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/26/plug-and-play-ultrasound-probe/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm predicting huge sales in China and India...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TIMMAH!]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 26th 2006 4:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Plug and Play Ultrasound Probe]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/26/plug-and-play-ultrasound-probe/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/26/plug-and-play-ultrasound-probe/</guid><description><![CDATA[Now I can stop taking my pregnant wife to the baby doctor, thanks engadget!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Remi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 27th 2006 1:55AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
