   That's cool. Ultrasound imaging should be much more broadly available, like household object next to your toothbrush. I wonder how OpenWater open-source focused ultrasound stimulation is doing.

      I've recently built my own ultrasound machine at home with only the probe being an ebay buy from a previously working machine.

      I've gotta get on writing an article about it one day!

         Well done, although all commercial ultrasounds are just a probe (piezoelectric curved or linear array) connected to a computer, previously over a high speed custom parallel bus, today USB-C will do. Then M-mode or B-mode reconstruction just runs in software. Doppler needs beam-steering etc and is a bit more complex.
