how many women could choose thermography?
these are VERY conservative numbers

assume there are 150M females in US, MOL
assume that 50M are of mammogram age (over 40)
assume that 50% get a mammogram every 2 years
that is 12.5M mammograms per year

assume 10M mammograms per year
1-2% now go to biopsy
assume that an equal number have a thermogram
that is a very very conservative projection
that means potentially 1.5M thermograms per year

potential could CONSERVATIVELY be
1.5M thermograms X $500 per scan = $500M/yr spent on thermograms
imho, only 1-2% going to thermos before biopsy is very conservative
if this takes 2-3 years after approval we are still talking about
some very positive numbers for alternative to mammo/biops paradigm
