Great question... It really isn't possible to retrofit their scanners to provide real time 3D imaging. The reason has to do with why it is virtually impossible to perform 3D real time imaging from a conventional CT device and that is fulcrum slice imaging. These slices are, for a lack of a better term, shaved slices which are about .5 to 1mm thin. You have to stack them on top of each other to build a 3D model. This takes way too much time and uses serious computer power, which greatly limit its speed. The increased speed of these new CT scanners means they can acquire these slices faster, but no where near as fast as the imagery we acquire and display. Licensing is definitely a potential for our technology, but I think being acquired is more realistic as one of the big boys wouldn't want this technology to be accessible to their competition...
