kingfisher: re: your questions...

for radiologists: board certification prior to 2002 is lifetime, it is 10-YEAR time limited after that...

note: residents going into residency in 2010 will begin an integrated certification exam schedule - this will be multiple steps with picture intense portions (not just written portions) along with everything else, i.e., physics etc.

for radiologic technologists: time limited certification examinations will begin soon...

note: just because the time limited thing certification is becoming mainstream, doesn't mean they are dropping the need to maintain your license/certification with continuing education credits...

re: human error: it appears as though over-radiation with CTs has been built on "preferences" associated with setting up the parameters for the imaging algorithms, or "errors throughout the community in not having had them standardized," or with some sites not following recommendations by the american college of radiology, which amongst other things serves as an accredentialing body for sites... a "must have" when speaking about sites with MRI machines.

the DViS does realtime 3D fluoroscopy... (the thing new here is the 3D part (as fluoroscopy is by "definition," realtime, really means to view with light)... the DViS is a surgical/interventional physician scope or tool... a fluoroscope.

the cone beam CT feature is the icing on the cake... so, have your cake and eat it too.

yes, i'm in the field...
