Great stuff, but this provides a great thread-jack opportunity for healthcare: Note that: 1.) Lowest 1-year dose clearly linked to increased cancer risk = 100 mSv 2.) Chest CT Scan = 6 mSv 3.) Mammogram = 3 mSv 4.) Dental X-ray or Hand X-ray = 0.005 mSv In other words mammograms and CT scans are NOT no-risk preventative medicine. The disease may be in the scan! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:335525 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
