3D ultrasound printer holds promise for non-invasive repair of organs
A breakthrough 3D ultrasound printer developed at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School will revolutionize medicine. This cutting-edge technology uses ultrasound to manipulate small particles in a liquid medium and thus create complex structures for tissue regeneration. The mixture of chemicals called Sono ink solidifies when exposed to sound waves and can allow organs in the body to be repaired within minutes. In addition, the innovation introduces Deep-Penetrated Acoustic Volumetric Printing (DAVP), which enables complex shapes to be printed and targeted delivery of chemotherapy drugs through layers of biomaterial, demonstrating its versatility and potential to make medical advances.
