I totally agree with you. The potential for sales tied to drug applications is enormous. Again, politics will be the major road block.

Currently, there is some insurance company study floating around that says the scanner does not pay back for 7 seven years when doing blanket screening. That's a lot of crap because you can make economic studies come up with any desired outcome depending upon what information is used and what is omitted and how the information is weighted. This is new science and their standard "models" used for the calculations don't apply.

The company should attack the study and develop its own.
