Bold predictions indeed! I hope they come true, though a little dip first wouldn't be unwelcome. A few queries for you, though.

First, did they say anything about the screen size? That seems to be the criticism that I've heard most. Did anyone at the conference ask about that, or appear to think it was a problem?

Also, the problem of how will doctors who aren't trained radiologists use it, it's "plunkability". I think the issue can be expressed as: if it's really useful, it won't be very plunkable, if it's plunkable, it won't be very useful.

And last, how about reimbursability? Did they talk about insurance companies paying for these things? Or paying for scans? Or will it be more like a stethoscope, just something that a doctor will have to help him/her know what is going on inside the patient (a doctor doesn't get paid when they listen to your chest with their stethoscope!)?

Thanks again for your info, TB, and your spirit. It is greatly appreciated.

Best,
Sam
