I am a bit mystified by your comment. I don't know what the FDA has to do with this at all. I don't know that they have any jurisdiction to approve a piece of hardware. Additionally Medicare (which pays for the scan) is funding (or is about to) research on the use in the elderly; National Heart Lung just awarded its grant money for a ten year study. I am not aware of any resistance by the government to the technology, nor to paying for the technology. There is a lot of resistance in the medical and insurance fields.
