Isn't this how MRIs and stuff already work, they just use waves with much more appropriate wavelengths...?

MRI uses EM radiation in the radiowave frequency band. This is using sound.

And doesn't bone pretty much block all ultrasound waves? There is a time and place for ultrasound, just like there is for MRI or Xray.

So im curious to know the limitations of this device

I'm just guessing here but similar to a CAT scan, having actuators/probes at all angles could mean you can get an image around such obstacles. skull is probably an exception and it's the reason why we don't see any head scans in any one of the videos.

Also I imagine it pretty difficult to get good data from that because of all the muscles that do stuff if put in water and you would hold your breath.

There is no way people will put up with that.

So... Rampant point of care ultrasound?

Sounds good to me.

If this can image a fetus in utero they're already cutting themselves off from India as a market

Can one buy it anywhere? At what cost? Would be cool for real-time biohacking and immediate feedback.

How much is a scan going to cost? The video motions petabyte per scan? These types are scans (medical images) are extremely dense and large in size, storing short or long term images sounds like its going to be extremely expensive when combined with AI analysis, etc. Not to Mention the cost of operating a Spa is not cheap, especially if your buying real estate, and the cost of the machine itself.

Is this a dystopian Spa, where full scans cost 50k, and basic ones are 1-5k?

I think the scanner outputs petabytes of raw data that then get processed down into images, so you would only need to store an image per slice ideally, kinda like MRI DICOM files.

There is no way I am letting an AI image generator take scans of my naked body

Thank you very much, Midjourney.

If some of my doctors were software engineers I probably would be dead by now.

Or mid-dead.

AI is about to find out the difference between talking and doing. Exciting!
