invent a more accurate, painless, and radiation-free mammogram...

No radiation. Digital mammograms are not an x-ray.

Both use xrays. The primary difference is digital mammography does not use film.

and are less accurate than we would like (digital or otherwise).

Spread the word.

and the problem has always been that other viruses could take their place.

This would take care of them all.

~18.5%. It also still requires a tissue sample (ie same procedure as a pap).

Yeah, until it gets to the US.

Great news for women and the people who love and value them.

I swear our country is so constrained by greed. This was discovered in Canada. Will the US "allow" this inexpensive testing? How to keep it out of the hands of medical companies that will exploit it in the US? It is good to be proactive, since we know how things go here with greed over health.

Now, let's hope some Venture Capitalist doesn't buy the company
so that they can charge $10,000 per test.

This has to be affordable, free even.
