John, The NBC news centered around a project in Framingham, MA that covered 2 generations, to learn how cardiac diseases manifest and at what ages. It showcased a woman who had been saved(!!!) by timely diagnosis with the help of this scanner. That is where the scanner was profiled. No Names of the machine or even EBCT. It simply said "fast scanning" and showed couple of films which showed calcification. NBC also profiled a couple of skeptic doctors who questioned its accuracy. This same story was covered a couple of minutes later in CBS, without mentioning anything about scanning/machine/IMAT....no nothing, just the Framingham project. But I think if the "EBCT mantra" gets repeated a million times, we all can retire !! Krishna
