Ultrasound is a safe, affordable and noninvasive way to see internal structures, including the developing fetus. Ultrasound can also "see" other soft tissue -- including tendons, which attach muscles to bone, and ligaments, which attach bone to bone. Ray Vanderby, a professor of biomedical engineering and orthopedics and rehabilitation at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is commercializing an ultrasound method to analyze the condition of soft tissue.
