I'm glad you responded. Ive had ultrasounds, and CAT, PET, and MRI before. Never knew you could glean so much information off of an ultrasound.
Now, for the hacker/maker community - maybe you won't know this offhand. But are there applications for ultrasound outside of medical? Would it be good for 3d scanning internal structures of a certain size? Can it find/detect cracks inside substrates, like how Xrays is used in weld defect detection?
Im just as curious at the non-medical as the medical. And it'd be damn nice to be able to ultrasound myself and go, "that dont look right". Im not a doc, but I live with my body 24/7.
- detaro 9y agoUltrasound is used to detect faults in materials (cracks in metal etc), yes. I think also for some measurements in fluids.
