Industry for CT, MRI services could get boost from Congress - May. 21, 2007

Industry for CT, MRI services could get boost from Congress - CNN: "Medical imaging and diagnostics - the high-tech art of peering inside the body to detect disease without invasive surgery - is a fast-growing business that could accelerate in step with the aging population, experts say. But much of the $60 billion industry's success depends on a bill that is currently moving through Congress. Diagnostics companies . . . are hoping that the bill will lift current restrictions that are holding back profitability and making it difficult for patients to access the potentially life-saving technology."
