The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) plans to develop a portable medical device that will use focused sound waves to treat wounded soldiers with internal bleeding.
The medical device would first use ultrasound imaging technology, in particular Doppler ultrasound, to locate the bleeding. It would then deliver a focused beam of high-powered ultrasound to those sites in order to cauterize the damaged vessels.
