I very much doubt it. The transducer has to be big enough for the frequency involved and there has to be a way of positioning it so that the reflections from the area of interest come back. The range for biological scans is around 2-18MHz depending on the type of scan - high frequency high resolution short penetration, but also different tissues require different frequencies.
You would have to have a way of waiting till it got to the right point in the gut, then manipulating it to point the right way and come into contact with tissue, and then scan it.
It would probably be easier overall to find a way of electing non-stupid politicians.

Sonic transducer, did you say? Itâs just a jump to the left!

I put it to you that weâll see advances in imaging technology that mean you can look at the underside of your toenails from your ear canal before anything THAT outrĂ© occursâŠ

I saw the video. He was asking a series of questions. It wasnât âcan we look at lady bitsâ with this camera, it was 'can remote technologies like those cameras be of any use as a force multiplier of medical services, like the cameras, in pregnancies" although his version of that question was hamfisted.
The person he was asking answered it in such a way as to frame his ambiguity as idiocy. Brava, but really?
I mean, he voted like an asshole, so by all means, âGotchaâ, but reallyâŠ

Advances in imaging technology yes, but even politicians cannot overturn the laws of physics.

While I donât disagree with your suggestion that medical abortions do have a risk of complications, itâs important to note that those complications are not prevented by administering an exam prior to the procedure. According to the WHO (org not band) medical abortions can be safely performed at home provided there is proper counseling before the procedure and follow up care (either by exam or testing) afterwards, and most importantly, that the patient have the option to contact a healthcare provider in case of complications. And thatâs really the crux of this debate in Idaho; itâs not about patient safety, itâs about restricting access. Just as in Texas, the anti-choice groups pushing this legislation in Idaho are trying to close clinics so people have to travel long distances to get access, and then pass legislation preventing telemedicine that could provide critical access to information and treatment to those who canât travel. So letâs not fall in to the trap of hauling out information about complications related to medical abortions which, while important, isnât relevant to the debate, and casts this issue as one of safety rather than restricting access.

It does not excuse his voting on rights, sure. And he is an ass, yes. But his comment has been mis-characterized. That is a fact, one offered to you and not as defense. Iâd rather see you righteously indignant for good reasons, than because you were led down the garden path and are using an attack which is EASILY IGNORED by the people you would like to know about his assholeishness.
White Knighting does not excuse your willful misunderstanding of the statement youâre harping on. It does not excuse picking the low hanging fruit of misstatement when THE VOTING ON RIGHTS IN THE FIRST PLACE IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM
Be an asshole for what someone actually did, not the Gotcha moment you can foist upon them, unless itâs cool when they do that bullshit (and imply therefore that youâre no better?)
because believe it or not, asking questions IS his job. Voting to take away rights IS NOT.
Eyes on the ball, please. Not on the sidelines. Not on your karma.

Is there any point at which the predominance of these type of people in the Republican party causes normal people who call themselves Republican to switch parties?
Or have the normal people left long, long ago?
ânormal Republicanâ - always sounds oxymoronic to me. I thought that being a complete cunt was a prerequisite for joining the Republicans, as it is here for joining the Tories. Or UKIP. Or the BNP (although, technically, I donât think they exist anymore, thank fuck).
How arenât they âexactly healthyâ? I wonder if youâre aware that abortion is far safer than giving birth. Or are you just making stuff up because it sounds right in your head? I would suggest not doing that when a womanâs health is at issue. We deserve better than âoh I feel this way so it must be soâ.
And I am pretty fucking positive that your âisnât exactly healthyâ is a guess based on a feeling, and not something you came up with from actual research.
Hey, as someone who has had an abortion? Iâve done the research. Have you tried asking women whoâve been through this before?

there ARE ultrasonic probes that can do heart ( valve , backflow ) imaging from swallowable probes ; but , well , the anatomy is still kinda very different ~ ( the stomach is here , the heart there , but the intestines are way down there , and the internal lady bits are not directly adjacent in any useable way ) ( just an aside , not a defense or offense )
Iâm sorry, You have to string him up in effigy before you will be taken seriously in this thread.
But really, yes, those systems DO exist. What an idiot he is for putting it in the record that those systems do not work in female reproductive health care!
Still, total jerk-asshole for voting on rights. Nothing says privilege like voting on other peoples rights.
