Great story. It's interesting that regulatory barriers create these large companies that have no user interest at heart. Bundled software and hardware from a hardware company: guaranteed disaster. Perhaps only Apple has succeeded at this.
It’s unfortunate because the potential value in vertical ingestion is quite large, as apple have been demonstrating for some time.
This all happened over about 10-20 seconds after the injection. Blood moves quickly. Start the scan too early and you miss everything, too late and you get veins rather than arteries.
In a point release update with no mention in the release notes they changed the behaviour of the scanner - it then started the scan on clicking down in the button, not on lifting off.
A time critical scan on a patient due for theatre was messed up by me. Their renal function was poor and the scan couldn’t be repeated for a few days.
