Money blinds and corrupts. It makes some radiologists say stupid or untrue things.
So, here they are, in order of appearance.
Dr. Pelc
The father of modern radiology, according to some, says that hot cathodes were invented by Coolidge in 1917. Nanox own tech white paper says that happened in 1913. Who are we to believe?
Dr. Dawson
A top British radiologist praises "nano tubules," failing to realize that there are no such "tubules" in the fake Nanox source, which was supposed to use brilliant "nano cones" instead of the crappy CNTs.
Dr. Samei
A top academic radiologist claims that Nanox technology provides us the opportunity "to move the source in two directions." ONLY in two directions? Maybe, if the source is fake. Of course, in the real world, the source can be moved in nearly infinite number of directions.
Dr. Rubin
Another top academic radiologist says that a cold-cathode tube, like the one used by Roentgen, does not generate the same level of heat as a hot-cathode tube. We need to cool the cathode then? The fact is that nearly 100% of the heat in any decent hot-cathode x-ray tube is generated in the anode.
He also insists that no one dare consider adding three sources, four sources, or even more [in a CT imaging system]. What did he do while attending RSNA 2019? How come he missed that one exhibiting company dares considering 16 to 24 sources? Maybe because the Chinese NanoVision did not pay him, while the Israeli Nanox.Vision did.

Update April 30, 2021: Dr. Pelc was on the Advisory Board of Theranos, the fraud. He is also on the board of Izotropic, an obvious scam (a copycat of Koning). He is the winner of the 2013 RSNA Outstanding Researcher award and many still consider him a credible authority in the field.
