"The goal in life seems to be to try to figure out some way where you don't have to go to the hospital, where you don't have to take calls," Dr. Rosenkrantz said. "Radiologists saw this as a cash business and a way out."

Well many of them are being out sourced.. aren't we told the answer to outsourcing is good old fashioned free enterprise ?

I would have paid for a body scan .. why not?



My husband and I both had one in one of those portable units a few years ago. I must say I was quite impressed with the results. It showed some lung scarring on mine and said it may have resulted in my childhood from a fungus known to grow near rivers. I did grow up on the Missouri River. My husband's showed some minor heart blockage that had also shown up in a hospital treadmill and dye test a few weeks before. Oh, yes, we both have arthritis starting to show up in our lower back.

The horrible thing is waiting for the test results although they will call if something is spotted and needs immediate attention. The cost was around $800 for both of us.
