I am building https://photorealisticultrasound.com/ - an automatic tool to convert 3D ultrasounds of babies into photo-like images.

I was playing with Stable Diffusion and stumbled upon a post in r/PhotoshopRequests looking for people to do such editing manually. I tried Stable Diffusion and was surprised how good the result was. So I made it into a service.

It was challenging to kickstart the project from the marketing perspective. But there was quite some virality, which helped.

Another big challenge is number of factors affecting the quality of the results. The number of degrees of freedom to tinker with is large, so experimenting and iterating is tricky. However, I did learn a lot from this project - both technically and marketing.

Currently I am focusing on rewriting the generation pipeline to dramatically improve quality, especially on obstructed ultrasounds.
