  From a first glance, it is not yet clear to me how far this project actually is and what its goal is. Could you give a short introduction (or point to an introductory blog post)?

    Done, tried to write a summary on the home page, thanks for the feedback!

  Raspberry PI and Arduiono's changed a lot in embedded space, because of price and flexibility, how this board can change its space? How much does it cost to build complete solution using this project? However, unlike the technology used in most hospitals across the UK costing anywhere from £20,000-£100,000, the scanner created by Jeff Neasham and Research Associate Dave Graham at Newcastle University can be manufactured for as little as £30-40.

    Depends on the volume of course, and of the quality of image that is expected. This board, plus transducer (necessary to get the image) in small volumes, should be around 200$. Maybe less in higher quantities, and with streamlined components. Far lower than the usual portable ultrasound scanners (costing ~5k$). But that's a work in progress so let's see! We were following the Newcastle project, but I guess the tech was finally bought by NDT -> image quality and framerate were not as good as expected. At least, haven't seen progress on medical imaging use from this end.

  You need more images. I don't see a single image of it in action.
