image: A diagram showing the positioning of the shunt sensor in relation to a catheter used for hydrocephalus (blue line). On the right, the sensor is fixed to a hydrocephalus patient using a soft mounting frame and imaged with doppler ultrasound. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Oct. 31, 2018, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by S.R. Krishnan at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in Urbana, IL; and colleagues was titled, "Epidermal electronics for noninvasive, wireless, quantitative assessment of ventricular shunt function in hydrocephalus patients." view more
