That practitioners, hospitals, etc... are being challenged is just a big a plus for I3 as it would be if the device manufacturers were moreso on the hot seat. In fact, its my opinion that the manufacturers and the hospitals sit in the same seat within the same boat when it comes to radiation emission so that pressure on the practitioner translates directly to pressure on the device manufacturers.

I believe that eventually the amount of radiation being emitted by hospital rad devices will be a part of Joint Commision inspections that occur yearly to keep all hospitals properly accredited. This will be a big deal and hospital adminstrators will be looking to comply very strictly in order to maintain their jobs and keep hospitals open, especially smaller community hospitals. But the Joint Commission inspects every U.S. hospital so the larger hospitals will scramble to strictly comply, as well. I3 will set the trend for reduced radiation emission and perhaps serve as the template for modifications in our current CAT scan technology.
