For what it's worth, my understanding of the DViS is that the device requires lower dosage of radiation to achieve quality imagery. It is not a situation where the device is not capable of using a higher dosage of radiation, when necessary, it just requires some magnitude less than predicate devices to accomplish the same thing. So if you have a patient that had excess fatty tissue that required more penetration to get a clear image, then the device settings could be changed to accommodate that. The end result would still be less radiation than a competitor device, but enough to get the job done.

As with Cleet, I'm not a radiologist either, but that is my understanding of the functionality of the DViS.
