Introduction This project has a specific target of providing a  low-cost, open source technological kit to allow scientists, academics, hackers, makers or OSHW fans to hack their way to ultrasound imaging  - below 500$ - at home, with no specific equipment required. Objective The aim of this project is to build a small ultrasound imaging hardware and software development kit, with the specific goal of: building an  analog "debugging tool"  to explore ultrasound imaging systems. consolidating  existing hardware research ; simplifing / lowering the cost of the kit; providing a benchmark of ultrasound systems; introducing a simple API to control hardware; having a server which provides raw ultrasound data, and for ultrasound imaging, can deliver standard DICOM files; having a kit that can be used for pedagogical and academic purposes - not to mention people who want to understand ultrasound! Previous project has shown the feasibility of the hardware, but was not si...
