Thank you, Mr. Savoie.

In Dr. Zamboni's work there were the initial 65 patients who were treated; 18 months later they were doing well. We know that in Poland now about 300 people have been treated.

You talked about risk. What is the risk in imaging patients? All MS patients are repeatedly given MRIs. MRV is another MRI. What is the risk in giving them an MRV and a Doppler exam?
