...MOVIE BOX OFFICE HAS BEEN DOWN ALMOST 10% THIS SUMMER. WHAT HAPPENED? A variety of things. Audiences once willing to experiment with different films now have more choices about how to spend their leisure time. The DVD business has certainly had an effect on moviegoing. The theater experience has to get better. And, clearly, we need to make better-quality films with more entertainment value. Good films get results...

And any arterial plaques that contain calcium deposits, which typically appear in older people, show up like white blobs, so that the blockage could be partial or total (see box). Then there's the issue of radiation. A typical cardiac CT scan exposes a patient to 50 to 80 times the amount of radiation in a series of full-mouth dental X rays. Researchers hope to figure out ways to decrease the dose soon...
