Do you have an extensive background in software and programming. I am sure that the programming and software isn't anything over the top crazy, because using off the shelf parts, they need a software that interfaces with all of it. Do you really believe they sent a package into the FDA without the proper software. What do you think is the real problem with the software, I'm more curious than anything. I have a small background in software and programming, so was just curious as to what you think the problem with that may be. Thanks in advance.

As of August 2009 the software wasn't working right according to Dean, August 5, 2009:

No realtime as of August of last year. At what point did this change? The video walkthrough was unable to show realtime 3D. Investors visiting were unable to see realtime 3D.

Below is Dean speaking:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Its not converting the platform from 32bit to 64bit as we've always been working on a 64bit platform. It was the language platform that gave us headaches as it said it worked in the 64bit environment but in actuality it only ran on the 64 bit environment in 32bit mode as most programs do right now. Yes we are running on windows, but we have hired two more software developers one for the windows 7 environment and the other on Linux. Linux is more flexible especially in customizing your kernal and memory control though windows vista and 7 work fairly well, especially in C and C++. We decided to go with both platforms and develop simultaneously for quicker results. I would prefer a windows environment as it is better suited for plugins and add on software as Linux is more flexible but you have to build your own drivers or customize others, which is more work.

We have the 3D Visualizer mostly up and running and are working on building the 3D construct and the rest of the algorithm. Once we have those complete we will be ready to plug the system into the beta prototype for testing and streaming of data in real time. With some work there as well as interfacing with our gantry control and image acquizition elements we should be ready to have the ability to generate the new images and CT slice data for our next FDA submission. Our goal is to have this completed by the end of August, drop dead date, though we have been making some fast progress and could be completed much sooner.

About mid August I will host another conference call with a press release in advance so more people can attend and ask there questions. I will update you more then on the progress to date as well as timelines.
