Ultrasound (Score 1)

I took a seminar at the Univ of Wash; the biophysics professor was the man working on this project. I saw a video demonstration (on a pig). You all needn't be so skeptical, unless you like flamewars; it works. This device may also be used for a direct, transcutaneous/transdermal (non-invasive) approach to targeting cancer cells/tumors. When applied, the injured area cauterizes, creates scar tissue, which is a heck of a lot better than bleeding to death or suffering side effects from a bombardment of chemicals or radiation. I'm glad they're still working on this project; hopefully they'll find a way to standardize it, recoup R&D, and get it in the field for the rest of us.
