Cost Effectiveness
"Early-Stage Cancer Diagnostics and Treatment for a Small Planet." One of the many advantages of the Micro LDRI™ approach is its cost-effectiveness. This technology has the potential to supplement or replace diagnostics methods requiring expensive equipment typically found at only the largest medical centers. We anticipate that the final production cost of this device will allow its acquisition by virtually any hospital, clinic, or research center. The final production-level price may even be low enough to allow for purchase and use by private practitioners.
Future Possibilities
It may also spur the development of many new methods of treatment which require the on-line, real-time monitoring of metabolic responses to radiation, chemotherapy, and other treatments that can be achieved with Micro LDRITM
Distribution
While the development and delivery of this product has vast commercial potential, it is most exciting in its potential to revolutionize treatment of some of the most deadly forms of cancer.
Micro LDRITM has the potential to replace many of the massive CT and MRI scanners currently in use. The advantages in terms of cost and utility of this device – which can be connected to a desktop PC – are at least as significant as its early-detection capabilities.
