I'm not a medical person. I enjoy your lectures and even learn a little from them. but this is way above my pay grade. See you tomorrow.

Great information! As a (retired) nuclear instrumentation tech & Engineer, I find these videos absolutely wonderful. Everyone needs to watch these. Keep up the great work.
BTW, I'm presently printing Prusa Research face shields, and designing & printing masks (personal use masks) on my several 3D printers.
NOTE: Finding PETG shield material is a bit of a pain. ; )

Thank you for such concise info. Geez CT is so much easier to interpret . Years ago when I was in med school my teacher told me ultrasound was the next big thing. I said no CT is so much easier . She reminded me about the time and money advantages of Ultra sound. I insisted she must be wrong ....obviously ...she was right ! LOL :)
