For now, I guess you have to write your own program, or convert your own native format to one of the RadWare ones. The RadWare formats are very simple, just direct-access, unformatted integers, one record per row of 4096 channels. These integers can be either 2 Bytes per channel (for the .mat format) or 4 Bytes per channel (for the .spn / .m4b format).

A DEXA scan is a test that a doctor orders to see how strong your bones are. It checks for Osteoporosis. It is painless and takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. Anyone over 18 years old can have a scan (there are no standards set for children under 18). You build bone density until approximately 25-30 years of age. After that, the goal is to prevent any further loss. To read about the DEXA scan, click here .

CAT Scan is a commonly used term that refers to Computed Axial Tomography. CAT or CT Scanning was developed after Ultrasound and uses x-ray technology.

Frequency will vary from case to case, depending on what an initial scan uncovers. For those with multiple risk factors, or troublesome findings, a follow-up scan may be repeated in a year's time to assess the success of lifestyle changes or medication in treating the problem.

You may have your ultrasound as early as 18 weeks if your main desire is to find out the gender of your baby, but remember that the baby is quite skeletal at this point. The best time to see details of the features is 28-32 weeks when the baby has more fat on his/her body but still has room to move around. Some parents choose to come early for gender determination and then come back when the baby has more fat. Keep in mind that there are MANY variables involved in getting clear images.
