From a quick look on eBay, you can pick up a vetinary ultrasound machine for between £800 and £2000. Are these materially different to medical ones, or is the cost difference down to certification?
- temac 10y agoSimple and somewhat cheap ultrasound machine do exist. I'm not an expert about this market, but you can probably source some from China. R&D and will be notably inferior with less capabilities than on high end systems, and you can probably also keep cost done if you skip some certifications.

I have yet to be at a doctor's office in Germany that didn't have an ultrasound, even general practitioners ("Hausarzt"). The concept of sending a patient off to an ultrasound technician for a routine scan seems baffling to German physicians. Sources: asking the two vets I've brought birds to here, own visits to doctors
