What's up with today's drop in price?
I''m just about back to ground zero. Why hath this company been forsaken?

About Iogold seeds not showing up well, yeah so they look different, they still show up. Fluoro is only used as a secondary verification during each case. The real imaging is done with ultrasound.

Dear Westerner and Ron,

I'm not long or short on NASI. As a matter of fact, I don't own stock in any seed company. I'm a physician who performs many seed implants and was just raising a concern I have about the seeds (and yes I have used them all). I'm also not a stock genius, and I can see this is not necessarily the forum to discuss this issue. My concerns are 1)being able to get seeds in a timely manner, 2) getting the isotope I want to use and not using what I have to use because of availability, and 3) using the isotope that is condusive to the way I do prostate brachytherapy. There are many different implant techniques in the US, and the technique I feel most comfortable with happens to use fluroscopy during the case and is not just used for verification.

If you know of any other discussion groups or "chat" to discuss clinical concerns please let me know.

The company who will do best in this business is the one that can provide seeds quickly and at a reasonable cost...which I'm sure you know.

Sincerely,

Dr. S.Q.
