Bruce, re:<<Another usage would be to have the family doc's use the scanner to feed people to the cardiologist, thereby generating more business for them. If a system of usage was developed that would generate more business for the cardiologists, I'm sure they would all be rallying around this technology. Now, a large faction views it as competition for fee, hence the resistance. >> This is how the system works now. A patient with a positive Scan is sent to a cardiologists for follow-up tests. Based on the follow-up tests, a decision is made on the treatment plan for the patient. So, the cardiologists is feed a stream of patients who take the Scan and have a positive result. This is a good financial deal for the cardiologists.
