If I could see the femoral arteries like that, my job would have been transformed. Those were the ones that ran through the pelvis to the legs.

I wonder if it will be able to do a one stop diagnostic..

OH has had so many xrays ct scans and MRI in the last year or so that he is starting to glow in the dark..

When I asked why they dont do a complete body scan the doctor told me its because different conditions show up on different settings and a total scan wouldnt necessarily show what each of the doctors are looking for..
So this month he has two MIR's planned one for the brain and one on his bad leg, because xrays have failed to find the damage although the doctor can see and feel that its there!

How unpleasant for him.

I remember when they appeared and they were supposed to allow us to look into every nook and crevice from every angle.

Incidentally, do you know how much the operational bulbs for one of these cost?

I was in the same division as the guy who ran those departments.

Without labour of course, which depended on what time of the day they came out, £60,000

I think there were two in the machine.

The problem he had was the bulbs breaking or blowing could not be predicted, and all of this came out of his budget.

Did he spend it, or save it?

If he saved it, when should he spend it?
