this could be a big life saver if it's small, cheap and safe enough for doctors offices to have so they can triage patients and quickly refer them to hospital when needed rather than having to book an appointment for a scan. Could even become a standard part of a routine medical check-up to test for signs of aortic aneurysms or similar, that could be a huge life saver.
from what they say i wonder if it'll be useful tied to a machine able to do near-autonomous endovascular surgery? that could really help reduce surgery wait times and improve a lot of peoples lives.
Assuming it takes off in the US, cost may be a more defining factor than usefulness. There's a reason MRIs are giant ATMs, unfortunately. This may actually be one of the few times the EU has better accessibility since Germany funded the research.
