Murphy, you do intraoperative ultrasound scanning now when you do your cancer resections. Can you tell us a bit about that? How does that work? Essentially we have a consultant radiologist, a doctor who specializes in radiology, scans etc, come and help us. Sometimes this helps us localize the tumor itself and make sure that we fully remove the cancer with a healthy covered tissue around it to make sure that it's completely gone.
