The most interesting thing to me about the Newsweek article was the fact that there are only 40 machines in use in the United States. If the ultrafast CT were to become a standard screening test, the market for sales would be enormous. The company would never be able to keep up with manufacturing the product. Obviously that is wishful thinking on my part, but once a procedure or test becomes the "standard of care", then it is incumbent upon providers to be able to meet that standard, both for malpractice reasons and to help compete in the market place. As a physician, the other avenue that I am really excited about is the use for endoscopy. People don't like having scopes shoved up their butts (nor down their throats). If this could serve as a non-invasive screening test for colon cancer, then this would be very helpful to me as a primary care provider---not to mention the huge market this opens. If this occurs, it would be very interesting to see the politics between the radiologists and the gastroenterologists.
