****** Looks like Mamo's in trouble now !*******
again for Burns sake and others with the same handicap's this is from RB and written by a fella named Bill. He signed the bottom of his post too !

Bill is responding to a BASHER by the name of I am Grumpy ...I mean Gumby ..He's about as lame as Burns and some others on this board. This Gumby guy might even be one of Burns "multiple personality disorders".

Enjoy

I think we're on two different pages here--you want to continue to compare CTI to biopsies and I want to compare it to both biopsies and mammograms with an emphasis on mammographic comparison. I won't lie to you--assuming a biopsy is at the very least as effective as CTI image I go with the biopsy, but as I have pulled several books and a study I have found one consistent statistic that demonstrates my point: mammograms are at most 90% sensitive. All three books (I posted one of them earlier, you are just as capable as I am in pulling medical books from a medical library so if you want to do the DD your welcome to) cited the 10% or stated that the sensitivity was at most 90% (at least 10% false-negative). The study included a portion dedicated to a comprehensive review of many studies done on mammogram sensitivity, 13 in total. The high and low were thrown out and the average of the 11 left was 83% sensitivity. The range was 70-88%. You and I both know that biopsies are here to stay, but I'm afraid if CTI is shown to be 96% sensitive that we have a very viable alternative to mammography that would likely replace it at some future point. A difference of at least 6% sensitivity is an improvement of at least 60%, meaning 60% of missed malignancies are diagnosed by CTI. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the potential. End of story, my DD is done in these regards, now I just wait for clinical data and FDA approval of CTI. This is the risk and I'm willing to take it on a small investment. If you're not that's your perogative. OT Can I ask why you're so interested in showing us the doom of this stock? The only reason I can come up with is that you stand to gain financially from one or more of us fumbling. I'm not accusing you, I'm merely stating what the appearances are.
