    I can' help but notice that this research has been funded by two government agencies, NASA, and the National Science Foundation.

    While I for one am delighted to see that the usual low expectations of tax-dollar-funded research have in this case been confounded, I can't help but wonder how much genuine innovation has been stifled by the need for researchers to jump through the ususal hoops for their precious grant money, to say nothing of the frustration these researchers must feel as their hard work skips merrily off into the public domain.

    All water under the bridge, I supppose. I wait with delighted anticipation for some hot for-profit startups to get ahold of this software and, with the invisible hand of the market as their guide, take this technology (and hopefully my mutual funds! ^_^) to astounding new heights.

    I knew what kind of comments this article would get when I was reading the linked article. And what do you know, dozens of "Duh, this is old technology, it's just voxels" -comments from totally clueless writers that think they know everything about 3D medical imaging because they have overclocked their Geforce-cards.

    Please people. Do you REALLY know anything about what the article is talking about? Think for a moment. If you think that this somehow is not innovative, you are probably wrong. Just because you are a nerd and possibly get/got good grades at school, doesn't mean you know everything. Well, I guess it goes with being a nerd...
