Researchers at the University of Nottingham in the UK have created an ultrasonic imaging system, which can be inserted into the human body for three-dimensional visualisation of cell abnormalities.
Presently in prototype stage, the non-invasive imaging tool called ‘phonon probe’ will be positioned on the tip of a hair-thin optical fibre.
