Why Are Medical Ultrasound Systems So Inexpensive?
This kind of description can be made of any hardware piece. We came from a whole room, slow computer to an iPhone that can make billions of operations per second. I see the previous post as complaining about this not happening on the industry.<p>Of course making an iPhone (or a OnePlus phone if you want to get into low-scale) is not easy, but the technology has advanced and standardized enough to be considered &quot;cheap&quot; for what they offer, and really cheap compared with 10-20 years ago.<p>Why hasn&#x27;t that happened with ultrasounds? Certainly most of the components have been around for a while and the process of making a &quot;simple one&quot; (in the way the average smartphone is <i>simple</i> ) should be a solved problem.
