The expence of UT

This has ben a very enlighteing topic. My experience with UT is that it can penetrate many layers and when connected to a acoustic recorder can map irregularities in solid structures, ie testing for cracks and failures in composites as well as metallic structures. We used an induction point UT unit and followed with the transducer microphone to check early Boeing wing attachment irregularities at their fusilages and addressed rivet anomalies in those structures. The point is if you can introduce an acoustic signal with a resonance, one you can barely, hear but feel, it can penetrate with enough energy to bounce around in the structure with energy and be picked up on a tiny microphone. A electric toothbrush of the ultra sonic variety will induce a fixed gain signal, enough energy to penetrate, though not as variable as one of the expensive lab grade units, but it is 1/10th the cost. Would like to see a side by side comparison on this hack comparing the $1200.0 - $5000. dollar packages to a $100. Sonicare toothbrush.

Shock wave therapy - Shockwave Theory
So I chose:
Energy density .09 mJ/mm2
15mm convex head
3000 pulses each treatment (1000 on left shaft, 1000 on right and 500 on left crus and 500 on right crus)
2 treatments a week
Here’s a video showing a Dr. Treating a patient. The video not only shows you what the mysterious crus (plural is crura) is, it’s pretty clear you don’t need a medical degree to perform the procedure.

One issue I’ve grappled with is converting the force of the device in mJ to the energy density in mJ/mm2 which varies depending on the size of the head used. The machine gives you mJ, but not mJ/mm2 for the different heads. The second source I cite above does give this information for a 15mm head: 120 MmJ is .12 mJ/mm2, and 180 Mj is .38 mJ/mm2. I’ve tried to figure out the math, but the relationship must not be linear and me and math have never been friends. However, by eyeballing it, 90mJ on the 15mm head ought to be about .09 mJ/mm2 which is the setting most studies used.
In addition to shockwave, once a day I use my pump to create an erection, deflate, then create another one. I do this 5 times. There are studies that this helps patients after prostate removal, but I haven’t seen anything about how it may help ED patients who haven’t undergone surgery. It doesn’t hurt to try, right? The only problem with doing both therapies is that you can’t tell what is causing any results. I’m not so worried about doing a medical journal type study on myself, but on fixing my ED by whatever means.

Watching that video reminds me of a joke:

A dude goes into a tattoo parlor and says, "I want a tattoo of a fly tattooed on the head of my penis. How much will it cost"?
The tattoo artist says, "$25.00".
The dude says, "$25.00! Is that all"?
And the tattoo artist says, "Well, the tattoo is only $25.00. But, There’s a $1500 handling fee".
