Are they're any other Doctors monitoring this site that would be interested in giving us your opinion about the technology or the potential market from your view or that of your patients. Obviously you Doctors are the ones that would be recommending this type of breast screening to their patients. Any input would be greatly appreciate in an attempt to learn about the market potential for the company. Gwolf

gwolf I have discussed CTI's technology with several other MD's. In particular I have talked with those that specialize in oncology. Doctor's in general have to be somewhat skeptical of new so called breakthroughs in medicine. Just like any businessman, you have to investigate a product completely before recommending it to others, particularly when lives are potentially at stake. This technology is nothing new in its base technology. Thermography has been used for years in its simplest form for many purposes. However, it is with the additional technology and data base which now makes this a very exciting and useful product for the medical industry. This is like going from the original invention of the telephone by Alexander G. Bell to the cellular phone industry we now have. This product is that exciting and advanced from what we have had. As I talk with MD's about this product and give them the understanding of how this works they quickly turn from skeptics to enthusiastic supporters. They are eager for this technology to be approved and come to market. This gives MD's a tool for giving a patient definitive results quickly and with little waiting time. The results of a mammogram can take 3-4 days minimum. As I understand it, the results can be called to an MD while the patient is returning to his office. The patient knows the diagnosis the same day. Stress which can greatly affect a patient with hypertension and diabetes is significantly reduced. Treatment can begin at an early enough stage that remission is greatly increased in all patients. As I stated in an earlier posting. When you can diagnose a malignant tumor in early stages it has not had a chance for angiogenesis and metastasis. This is where the tumor initiates the growth of blood supply for feeding the tumor so it can proliferate and spread throughout the body. Yes, MD's who are learning about this product earnestly want to see it receive FDA approval. The patients with whom I have given some brief information to are pleading that when it comes available that they have access to it on a regular basis. Ask any woman about their experience with a mammogram and you receive a sharp opinion of the discomfort of the procedure. As women learn of this technology they will rut to it for peace of mind rather than put it off as they do with the mammogram. Breast cancer deaths in this country will drop dramatically with the early intervention this assures. The potential market for this product is huge. I would venture to guess that every hospital would readily avail themselves to obtain this unit as quickly as possible.
