This new scanner allows for much more detailed scans of the entire body in just under one minute also cutting the exposure to x-rays by as much as 80%.

    Have you also noticed how central New Jersey seems to get an unproportionally high amount of freak medical conditions and epidemics? Is death by cement boots a medical condition or epidemic?
