Here is an example of an abdominal ultrasound, and also a cardiac echo, which can be sent wireless, and then there's an example of fetal monitoring on your smartphone.

It's actually emitting ultrasound low level ultrasound that's about 100,000 vibrations per second.

Okay, so let's talk a little bit about ultrasound, the force of ultrasound.

What about ultrasound?

Now why would this kind of fetal learning be useful?

So let's first talk about focused ultrasound.

So I went in for an ultrasound.

I'd like you to have an ultrasound.

Information on initiatives to address Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAS FAE) can be found under Article 6 in Canada's Fifth Report on the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

You know all about imaging, right, ultrasound imaging.

Fetal origins research is not about blaming women for what happens during pregnancy.

This is much sharper than an ultrasound would be.

This is an MR suite with a focused ultrasound system.

They were the first to be treated by focused ultrasound.

So the handheld ultrasound is basically surpassing and supplanting the stethoscope.

So she elected to undergo a focused ultrasound procedure in 2008.

Origins is a report from the front lines of an exciting new field called fetal origins.

Concerned at the adverse impact of drug use on women's health, including the effects of fetal exposure,

And if you took an ultrasound of that area, it would look great.

Bear in mind this was an ultrasound, so it would have been moving images.

But ultrasound can be shaped to be anything in between, because it's a mechanical force.

Ultrasound generates more biopsies that are unnecessary relative to other technologies, so it's not widely used.

One is the focused ultrasound, and the other one is the vision enabled magnetic resonance imaging.

Using 3D ultrasound technology, we can now see that developing babies appear to smile, even in the womb.

First, ultrasound we're very familiar with it from physical therapy it's also now being used to treat cancer.

So this idea of harnessing focused ultrasound to treat lesions in the brain is not new at all.

The notion of fetal learning may conjure up for you attempts to enrich the fetus like playing Mozart through headphones placed on a pregnant belly.

Priority components include strengthening Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) prevention and intervention improving access to assessments and diagnoses and strengthening direct supports based on need.

We can prevent, or have the earliest detection possible, for breast cancer with an ultrasound device given to the patient.

One of the neurological conditions that can be treated with focused ultrasound are movement disorders, like Parkinson's or essential tremor.

See Canada's Fifth Report on the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights for information on initiatives related to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and suicide prevention.

Additional information on Yukon initiatives related to Fetal Alcohol Syndrome can be found in Canada's Fifth Report on the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

But you may not know that he tried to perform lobotomies in the brain, noninvasively, with focused ultrasound in the '50s.

All those I've indicated have already been shown to be successfully treated by focused ultrasound relieving the pain, again, very fast.

Alright. I'm going to show you a couple of images from a very diverting paper in The Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine.

It is approved under an FDAIDE at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville using focused ultrasound to ablate a point in his thalamus.

Funding was provided in 2003 through the Primary Health Care and Transition Fund for co ordination of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FASD) prevention and early diagnosis, and information technology improvements.

So you can change the intensity, the frequency, the duration, the pulse shape of the ultrasound to create anything from an airbrush to a hammer.

The indicator for an ultrasound study performed in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy is 80 in cities and 15 or under in rural areas. sic

This device has been implanted into the muscle and peripheral nerve of rats, and uses ultrasound as energy source, which is also used to read collected data.

I'm going to go way out on a limb and say that it is the most diverting paper ever published in The Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine.

So we picked up on that and we said, You know, we now have the ability to look inside human beings with these special catheters called IVUS intravascular ultrasound.

We're also starting ancillary health care technology training programs training people in echocardiography, cardiac ultrasound, those kinds of things. Now, with that kind of training, it gives people motivation.

Initiatives focussed on areas such as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder prevention community capacity building parenting and family support healthy pregnancy, birth and infancy and early childhood development for Aboriginal children under six and their families.
