57:44which is so what we're looking at is is sort of one of the 3D images that it creates. And on the labels on each side you kind of see the different parts that's that it's identifying as waves travel through the water your body and your body they kind of change shape and the shapes change. But whenever they change, it helps them understand the density and stiffness going from water to fat to muscle to bone of what the underlying structure is. By looking at how the shape uh the shapes of all the wave change, they can reconstruct right this detail map. It's not dissimilar to other medical imaging technologies. It's just kind of a little bit of a different medium. And then so all of these images

58:24will then come together to create this 3D uh uh mockup of your body. So we we see in this this graphic here they're you're looking at two legs. >> Right. >> Right. And then they're basically
