Hello everyone. I would like to start by giving a brief introduction about myself - I am a MD who has specialized in Pain Medicine which involves performing a lot of invasive procedures using a C-Arm. I have been a "lurker" on this board since its very day of inception and would like to thank Mr. Janes and Mike Nessen for the exceptionally good job they have done at I-hub. I did post once on this board before as a quick answer to someone as it had something to do with the intraoperative use of the Dominion and as I have familiarity in the OR setting.
I have gone through all the messages on this thread multiple times to understand the Dominion and its capacity and while doing so I have also noticed that many of the milestones which Mr. Janes had been speaking about have been realized over the past few months. The applications for the Dominion seem huge and if the Dominion ends up being as good as I understand it to be, most hospitals will want to have atleast 2-3 of these to meet their demands. The way most hospitals run, it is not cost effective for the hospital or the MD to wait for hours for the use of a machine. For eg. - imagine a general hospital which offers all services in medicine like ER, OR,orthopedics, vascular, radiology, pain medicine etc., Now of course these departments would be spread out all over the hospital and possibly over many buildings. Imagine having one machine being wanted by different departments in one day. It would be extremely frustrating! Also the efficiency would be low as the time to travel from one area of the hospital to another would be almost equal if not more than the time for patient care.
Now if you include the hundreds of small procedural free standing clinics and radiology centers all over the country as possible customers then the numbers which Mr. Janes has given in the past seem conservative!
If the RSNA last year was good then the response at the RSNA this year should be tremendous as I am hoping that the luminary sites would be set up and would have produced the desired results which would be demonstrated at the show.
I have purchased a reasonable qty of shares and plan to add more at these current prices.
I would like to thank everyone for keeping this thread respectable and informative.
