Not a nerve you hit the spinal cord...xray people crack me up... I agree with a lot of what you say with a few major exceptions. Actually more than a few.. xray people are similar to big tobacco.. the bigger the better ... FDA gets on their ass no problem cut their budget fire their director and problem solved.. Tobacco never killed anyone right not addictive right? Does not cost society a few billion a year for cancer treatment right.. How else can we justify big cancer research without big tobacco big pollution and big xrays and big nuclear radiation in general sun included.. XRAY is called when you turn the beam down a little to blur up a film... then when you turn it up to KILL cancer cells and any other cell that crosses its path and make your hair fall off is called RADIATION treatments (TALK ABOUT BELIEVING IN your ON POSTS PLEASE! watch your own mouth) you and I know its the same thing XRAYS kills cells and causes mutations with a probability number of resulting in CANCER.. so what comes first the xray or the cancer? I mean why are screenings going up at the same time breast cancer is increasing in the female population??? Did you get your brains caught in an xray beam or something??? huh! Never mind they made FDA increase the acceptable levels of radiation and increased leakage etc never mind that. Just to accomodate the more power full dosis of digital xray beams from the retired star warriors.. and meet new FDA QUaLITY standard guidelines... Well your train and your trained xray robots and your xray economy's wheels will come off some day when a more enligthened public will figure it all out. As for the Aurora it is a cost effective dedicated scanner which addresses a very important need in the mammography practices. For instance just go FDA and find out in what percentile your particular institution scored.. Say it is in the 50% percentile and you just spent a grand total of 50 dollars on your wife's xrays and they found them to be cancerous or probably so... are you then going to go to an equally mediocre practice to have her breasts removed?? of course not. I wouldn't think so. Oh but6 You can spend 30,000 dollars on a four wheel RV or a saiboat or whatever but you are going to limit your wife's healthcare costs to 50 bucks??? get it?? It does not compute ??.. I would see to it the women in my life went to a highly rated practice top 25 percentile and saw a competent radiologist and got an accurate diagnosis.. As for the economics of false posititives and bad medicine and bad quality etc..it is worth doing the analysis and if I had data I would do it for the hell of it believe me. Because its cheaper getting it right and taking care of it. i.e. projecting the right amount of treatment into the trauma no more no less. Well the women in my life are worth an MRI scan... not that there is a shortage of females in California.. I just love them a lot and don't want them to be sick or disfigured. what are the women in your life worth? no less of course. I have a friend whose lifelong companion and the mother of his kids recently passed away from a cancer of the uterus or something and a simple test administered in time would have saved her. But the capitated hmo told her to take aspirin and ignore the persistent bleeding. Now there are three kids 8-14 with no mother.. but hey we got it covered 50 bucks or in her case a few visits at 5 or 10 bucks and a tube of aspirin.. society's cost be dammed.. crank up those xrays mdt... zoowieeeeee! wowww! The only thing that conforts me is there are still companies and people doing the right thing figthing the odds with a vision and a purpose. That is the pioneer spirit which made america great. I sure hope you are not doing your homework or a turn paper or something...but if you are stick with it you will figure it out sooner or later.. luis
