Sometimes I wonder if the way to bypass the insane regulations around medical devices is to just publish them online for anyone to build themselves. Sure I won't have the minutes detail of million dollar medical equipment, but maybe I don't need all that precision, or maybe that's better than having no access at all to the measurements at all

#73Some serious next-level hardware hackers this generation.
I get worried everyone is turning into dumb iphone+app users but this advanced creation stuff restores faith.

Why can't ultrasounds produce 3D?
They can, but since the data is very noisy the 3D reconstruction is usually not very good. If you actually need to measure something, analysing the 2D images is much more precise. EDIT: Also, it's really hard to visualise density in a 3D view.

#76This is really great. For those who aren't familiar with what these machines can do, the calculation of an athlete's Vo2 max really isn't all that useful. However, a breakdown of the fat and carbohydrate calories burned at various efforts can be incredibly useful for helping an athlete learn how to fuel correctly for performance over distance. I'm not a physiologist or physician (and I'm sure what I'm about to say ma…
naively, it seems measuring oxygen consumption would be useful.

A friend of mine does keto and after running a marathon reported that they did not experience "the wall". Presumably this is because they were using fat to begin with, not after mile 15 or whatever.

The OP here chose to use a title with an astounding monetary figure in it. I was baited. I would not have read the article if it had the original title. Strict adherence to the guidelines would have saved me here. Regarding your post, I am curious if "Google" was removed by yourself(and later changed your mind) or the moderators?
