i was watching ripley's "believe it or not".  we've all seen ultra-sound
pictures of unborn babies, but they have a 3rd beam that they can use
and it produces a 3-D imaging and they showed the face of a 27 week old
baby.  it was really interesting because it looked just like a regular
baby type picture.  

even more interesting was the fact that they are using 3-D imaging to
develop into the field of prostate cancer detection.  can you imagine of
the doctor having a 3-D image in front of him and to be able to tell you
where he "sees" the prostate cancer.  he could tell if it has a positive
or negative margin and would know in advance, what to expect, when he
got inside the body.

even looking deeper into the crystal ball, can you imagine not only
seeing the prostate in 3-D but in color?  this would make it even easier
to detect where the trouble spots are going to be.

right now, they said the cost is about 500 dollars for a photo, but as
the field is developed, i'm sure the price will drop, that is, unless
the medical field has something to do with it.

this comes under the same heading as the same amount of oil is a
constant that is  under ground but the price changes daily - right?
