Hi all -

Interesting article this AM (saw it on the news also) regarding a new CT scanner that may receive FDA approval in 2008. It creates a clearer pic and in our case exposes patients to 50% less radiation (in heart scan patients, it exposes them to 83% less radiation).

Though you might be interested:
