Luis A couple more questions if you would be so kind. What are some of the competing technologies out there to image breasts and detect cancer? I know there are millions of breasts out there and we need better technology then 100 yr old x-rays. Imaging technologies should be a hot area of reasearch with unlimited potential for profit. Does CAPR look to use this as a screening tool or an adjuvant to regular mamography? I'm not familar with this particular technology but I do know that MRI is expensive and slow, two things that speak against its use for screening. I don't think the increased resolution can overcome this. If so then MRI will remain second or third option and its wide spead acceptance would limited. Eliot
