My briother is a dentist and was unaware of the machine. He indicated that he was unlikely to change unless his existing machine broke down. The fact that they are in 30% of the dental schools and may eventually penetrate all likely means most new dentists starting proactices will go for it.

One of my physician clietns felt the bone scanning device could have the most immediate impact. They received financial support from Merck. They availability of an less expensive more available device will help Merck market Fosamax, so I expect the Fosamax salesmen will make GPs aware of the SHCK device. I expect the stock to pop when FDA approval is received. Agree that the Mammogram market will be huge, but have to overcome the dynamics of competing aginst GE and Siemens.

I beleive thsi company will be bought out at some point. It is very difficult to spool up the necessary world wide marketing and logistis support and ramp up production with its limited resources.

Long and looking for the next earnings in a week or ten days.
