...scan at a local hospital confirmed Lorri's battlefield diagnosis. Not only had the pencil pierced Nathan's heart, but it had penetrated a valve. He would need open-heart surgery--which meant Nathan had to be airlifted to the nearest cardiac surgeon and heart-lung machine, in Great Falls, 100 miles away...
Still not ready to sign up for a colon exam? Researchers are trying to perfect the so-called virtual colonoscopy, which doesn't require threading any medical instruments into the colon. Instead, doctors rely on cat-scan imaging to create a computer-generated 3-D picture of the inside of the intestine. It's still not clear, however, how accurate the new technology is. So don't put off getting the tests that are available today in hopes of taking a less invasive one later...

Think of all the kinds of programs that color will make possible...

Scan yourselves with detection software, urged the hacker trackers. Evidently not enough sites did. That changed after the attack; downloads of the Feds' scanning tool shot up from 170 on Monday to 4,223 on Thursday...
