1. Carey Balaban:

   The energy may be acoustic, pressure waves, you've probably heard of LRAD devices (or long-range acoustic devices) -- devices they've discussed in the press -- so ultrasound is one mode that could be used for this. We also could have radiofrequency. We could have microwave. We could have light -- lasers are an example of it. I'm going through these just as examples, i want to make it eminently clear that we don't know what they were exposed to and certainly can't make any inferences as to whether it was deliberate or inadvertent.

2. Michael Whiteley:

   It was the ultrasound tech that kind of left the room, came back and I thought something was wrong, she said' No it's good news.' I said.

3. Professor Karsten Koenig:

   We use femtosecond laser pulses. We scan the skin and we get signals from the skin, particularly fluorescence, as well as another signal called second harmonic generation. So with these two signals we can build up images and get a precise look into the skin with a high resolution. The resolution is a factor of one thousand (times) better than ultrasound. So now you get the information without taking biopsies; normally you slice them, you stain them, and then a pathologist would look through these sections. Now you can get this information in seconds, labor free and with this fantastic resolution.

4. John Flannery:

   Ultrasound is a perfect example.

5. Wendie Berg:

   There are now low-tech ultrasound devices that produce images of similar quality to devices used in this study.
