There was a mention in the latest Time Magazine, although it didn't mention Imatron by name: January 11, 1999 issue, page 108: ************* "Good News on Arteries" Two reports suggest that new non-invasive techniques can detect blocked arteries before a heart attack occurs. In one study, scientists use an ultrafast C.T. scan and computer technology to view and monitor plaque. In the other, researchers successfully used the scan with an injectable dye to see if arteries had actually narrowed. One conventional method, the stress test, isn't always reliable; in angiograms, the other technique, a catheter must be threaded to the heart. *************
