See Inside Your Body

Product Information

For patients who require long periods of imaging, some hospitals offer probes affixed to robotic arms that can hold a transducer in place without tiring, but the liquid ultrasound gel flows away and dries out over time, interrupting long-term imaging. It’s a very safe and painless way to get a look inside, which is why it’s used to see babies inside their mummy’s tummies. Dr Singh says: "There have been so many, not least the look on all the patients’ faces when they first came face-to-face with their own bodies in larger-than-life technicolor. But in the first episode we meet Hilda, who had one of the worst cases of fibroids her consultant had ever seen. My mouth literally dropped when we were treated to augmented reality image of what it would look like to have all her 90-plus fibroids lined up in a row. But even more astounding was just how different Hilda seemed when I met her after her operation to remove them. The physical transformation alone was mind-boggling, but what brought tears to my eyes was just how much more alive and whole she seemed, too. She was a different woman!" Wearable ultrasound imaging tool would have huge potential in the future of clinical diagnosis. However, the resolution and imaging duration of existing ultrasound patches is relatively low, and they cannot image deep organs,” says Chonghe Wang, who is an MIT graduate student.

The book is based around giving children information about their body and how it works so it only gives one view point. As it is not a book based around opinion but rather about facts.

Dr Singh says: "So many of us tend to put off seeing our doctors, or simply deny that there’s anything wrong. Confronting our conditions, face-to-face with these incredible 3D images, means there’s nowhere to hide. And that can prompt patients to ask really difficult questions. Armed with more knowledge about their own bodies, I saw patients ask not just about their treatment and recovery, but also about life death and everything in between. The power of this technology is that it allows doctors and patients to talk about the stuff that really matters." Since the text and illustrations are quite detailed and the numerous flaps, this book is best suited for a classroom or home library.

The approach directly converts the greenhouse gas into formate, a solid fuel that can be stored indefinitely and could be used to heat homes or power industries. Taking a look inside one's body, virtually, in 'Your Body Uncovered with Kate Garraway'. (Image credit: BBC) Is there a trailer for 'Your Body Uncovered with Kate Garraway'? MRI scans are painless. However, it is important to be as comfortable as possible during a scan, because you must keep the part of your body being scanned very still to avoid blurring the images. The child would need to have a basic understanding about the body for example the name of organs or know where they are placed in the body. As this book builds on this knowledge and looks at how the different parts operate and work together to keep a person alive. A child would also need to be able to confidently read on their own therefore the book is aimed towards children reading at the age of 8+.

This book is useful to introduce children to parts of the human body and how it functions. It covers topics like digestion and the roles of organs like the heart.

An MRI scanner is like a short tunnel that’s open at both ends, through which a motorised bed passes. During a scan you lie on the bed and a small ‘receiving device’ is placed behind, or around, the part of your body being scanned. You are then moved into the scanner tube, either head-first or feet-first, depending on which part of your body is being scanned. The book includes scientific diagrams which are easy for children to understand. Also, it includes facts which are suitable for Key Stage 2 children as the topics relate to the National Curriculum for Science. The book is written in a mixture of short and compound sentences that are easy for children to read on their own. Mainy on the sentences are accompanied by a picture or diagram so the book is very visual to help children understand the complex language. The text is laid out within the diagram, which again adds to the book being easy to follow.Actuating grafts appears to turn on cell signals related to the growth of new blood vessels and nerves; a promising finding for restoring mobility in muscle lost through disease or trauma. This book is a wonderful resource for a classroom. Filled with pictures, lift tabs and fun explanations, this book would work well in a classroom library for students to learn about the body and its various systems. This book would also be would be a great supplementary resource for a lesson. With imaging, we might be able to capture the moment in a workout before overuse, and stop before muscles become sore,” says Chen. “We do not know when that moment might be yet, but now we can provide imaging data that experts can interpret.” A CT Scan – sometimes referred to as CAT scans (but has nothing to do with cats or kittens) – work in the same way as X-rays but using computers to create detailed images of the inside of the body. They’re carried out in hospital by specially trained operators called radiographers and can be done while you’re staying in hospital or during a short visit. Dr Singh says: "The 3D images of the patients’ bodies are incredible. As a doctor, it sometimes feels that language isn’t up to the job of truly explaining what is happening inside the gloriously complex human body. How amazing, then, to have a tool that allows realistic, accurate and personal images to do some of the job for you! When you’re ill, the first step towards recovery is coming to terms with your diagnosis, and I think being able to see, literally, what’s going on inside your own body gives patients the understanding to really do that. But this isn’t just for patients – the truth is, despite all my years of medical training, I’d never seen the human body quite like I did on this show. Being on this show has been a real first for me. I’ve never experienced health in this way, and it’s been an eye-opener."
