It weighs just around 3.7-oz. and when connected to your PC it allows you to easily interpret the results. The device comes with its software which automatically interprets and displays your ultrasound image. As a matter of fact, it is even way better than the usual ultrasound in your neighboring hospitals. This device even goes as far as to improve the picture quality of your ultrasound by eliminating the analog noise which comes along as a by-product occurrence when the image has to travel through the USB cable.

Come to think of it, even if indeed you might buy this device for personal reasons, who knows if you might also make a small business out of it. Although do take heed before you do this, it might be wiser for you to update first your local laws. In using the Do-It-Yourself USB Ultrasound, you don’t need additional requirements for the system other than loading the required software and plugging as well the USB cable into your USB (2.0) port.
