Once they start installing in more hospitals and word starts getting out, then watch out. But all this takes time, I'm starting to notice a lot more inpatient people on here and ceo. Not every stock is a rocket, this stock will turn into one once more hospitals realize what an important tool this is for them not to mention a hell of a lot cheaper than an MRI. IMHO. Anyway tomorrow is another day. GL
Also, concerning the MRI, there is not a problem with radiation as there is with CT Scans. The MRI is "magnetic resonance" so although radiation is not a concern there are a list of other items associated which would prevent certain patients from having an MRI:
"Because radiation is not used, there is no risk of exposure to radiation during an MRI procedure. However, due to the use of the strong magnet, MRI cannot be performed on patients with:
- Implanted pacemakers
- Intracranial aneurysm clips
- Cochlear implants
- Certain prosthetic devices
- Implanted drug infusion pumps
- Neurostimulators
- Bone-growth stimulators
- Certain intrauterine contraceptive devices; or
- Any other type of iron-based metal implants.
MRI is also contraindicated in the presence of internal metallic objects such as bullets or shrapnel, as well as surgical clips, pins, plates, screws, metal sutures, or wire mesh.
MRI generally is not advised for patients with epilepsy.
If contrast dye is used, there is a risk for allergic reaction to the dye. Patients who are allergic to or sensitive to medications, contrast dye, iodine, or shellfish should notify the radiologist or technologist. MRI contrast may also have an effect on other conditions such as allergies, asthma, anemia, hypotension (low blood pressure), and sickle cell disease.
There may be other risks depending upon your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your physician prior to the procedure."
A lot of situations where ultrasound and the VMS+3.0 is the ideal remedy.
