Dear "doc" Are you short or long on NASI? P.S. As an alleged physician and newbie to SI, I would suggest that technical questions of this nature be directed directly to the company. I doubt that Richard spends much time doing fluoroscopy or in the OR to answer your question. In medicine, we rarely use the term "real time" in the OR. At least not in the circles I frequent. Let us know the results of your inquiries! Are claiming to be an oncologist, urologist, or therapeutic radiologist?

>>>Additionally, I have been using Iogold and have not been happy in >>>the OR because the seeds don't show up very well under fluroscopy. >>>This adds a great uncertainty as to what we are doing real-time >>>during the case. Someone shuld be more specific in these rumors. If you are really using NASI seeds then can you clear this up? There is no reason why gold would not show up on fluoroscopy. "dont show up well" should be defined because it can mean they can't be visualized at all. In fact it is my understanding that they can be seen but their alignment might not be clear since once sees two dots (representing the two gold beads) so knowing where one seed starts and ends and another starts is a guess. Is this in fact the case? With the Amersham wire it is clear to see the seed outline because of the wire. And lastly how much of a problem is it?
