See Inside Your Body

Product Information

It contains over fifty flaps, which children can lift to reveal extra detail. Entertaining and authoritative, this is human biology for children at its very best - a book both educational and enjoyable. This astonishingly inventive title allows young children to discover the inner workings of the human body in a gently humorous, yet wholly accurate way.

The part of your body that needs to be imaged is then exposed to X-rays for a fraction of a second. The X-rays hit the a negative plate (like an old film camera) or are captured by computers. 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. a very fun way to get to know the human body and feed the desire to know with a lot of tabs to discover many details about it. You will be asked to lie on a table or stand against a surface so that the part of your body being X-rayed. A radiographer will show you where to position yourself to ensure the best image is taken.

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." You need to lie very still while each scan is taken to avoid blurring the images. The radiographer will leave the room during the scan but will be able to talk to you through an intercom. Several scans will be carried out and the whole procedure may last from a few minutes to thirty minutes. And sometimes a special dye is put in your body which helps the radiologists see what’s going on.

providing a guide for further tests or treatments – for example, CT scans can help to determine the location, size and shape of a tumour before having radiotherapy, or allow a doctor to take a needle biopsy (where a small tissue sample is removed using a needle) or drain an abscess After each X-ray is completed, the couch on which you are lying moves forward a small distance and another image is taken. And with lots of slices, you can make pictures of the body from different angles and also 3D models. This helps doctors see larger areas of the body and the movement of things like blood flow. 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. 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+.

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. We envision a few patches adhered to different locations on the body, and the patches would communicate with your cellphone, where AI algorithms would analyze the images on demand,” says the study’s senior author, Xuanhe Zhao, professor of mechanical engineering and civil and environmental engineering at MIT. “We believe we’ve opened a new era of wearable imaging: With a few patches on your body, you could see your internal organs.”

You may not alter the images provided, other than to crop them to size. A credit line must be used when reproducing images; if one is not provided 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." Currently, ultrasound imaging requires bulky and specialized equipment available only in hospitals and doctor’s offices. But a new design by MIT engineers might make the technology as wearable and accessible as buying Band-Aids at the pharmacy. Having a serious health condition is terrifying,” says Kate, 54. “When my husband Derek was diagnosed with Covid-19 that fear was made even harder to bear because I didn’t understand what was going on inside his body. Making this series has been an absolutely fascinating process. The incredible augmented reality technology has allowed our contributors to get the most mind-blowing medical consultations, opening their eyes, and mine, to what is going on inside their bodies."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. Since the text and illustrations are quite detailed and the numerous flaps, this book is best suited for a classroom or home library. In recent years, researchers have explored designs for stretchable ultrasound probes that would provide portable, low-profile imaging of internal organs. These designs gave a flexible array of tiny ultrasound transducers, the idea being that such a device would stretch and conform with a patient’s body. 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. I would recommend that this book is on display in the class we're doing about their body for their science topic. So the children can freely look at the book at one time.

Was passiert in deinem Gehirn? Wie funktioniert deine Lunge? Warum schlägt dein Herz? Detailreiche Illustrationen und über 50 Klappen enthüllen faszinierende Fakten über deinen Körper. So erfährst du ganz genau, was sich in deinem Inneren abspielt! Body has swallowed Professor Hallux’s keys to the fridge, after hearing Nurse Nanobot tell him he needed more iron in his diet! Whoops! 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.Does the book contain anything that teachers would wish to know about before recommending in class (strong language, sensitive topics etc.)? 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.
