cti vs. tmi

It is my understanding that the difference between the TMI system and the CTI system is that the TMI system is specifically targetted at detecting malignant lesions of the breast, for which CTI and TMI feels that an endorsement (approval) by the FDA is needed in order to sell the doctors, hospitals, clinics, and insurance companies on the concept of using computerized thermal imaging. The CTI system is used for general computerized thermal imaging for other abnormalitues such as carpal tunnel syndrome, back pain, TMJ, sprains and strains, etc. CTI believes that they do not need FDA approval to market this general diagnostic device but they will need the agreement of the insurance companies to pay for these computerized thermal images. If and when CTI gets FDA approval for the breast cancer diagnostic system, this should give the insurance companies much more confidence in the concept of computerized thermal imaging for the other abnormalities
