Wow, so a medical device which doesn't work is being used in what is essentially an unsupervised, non-random, non-blind trial?

Why would that even pass the FDA smell test?

non-invasive devices are way easier to get approved, they are a lot less tightly regulated. you'd be surprised.

Is the xray not considered part of the device, or is a dose of radiation considered non-intrusive?

It piggybacks onto the standard CT software - no additional scans require, it just pulls data off of the PACS.
