Yeah, you need like a whole tumor.

Yeah.

Yeah, you need a sizable mass, basically.

Yes.

Yes, with confidence I can say this.

We've published papers on this now.

So we can tell whether there is cancer within an animal as early as that we've injected it.

So in these experiments, we'll take a rat and we have injected underneath its skin melanoma.

And on day one after injection, and we did this in a double blind way where a grad student has come with detectors to look at animals that were injected versus not injected.

You can tell within day one that there's something, there's cancer there.

Wow.

Is letting off photons.

Absolutely.

And there was a paper that was published that showed that you can tell when an animal is alive and dead just by looking at their photon signatures.

Oh, my God.

This is the question I want to ask you.

Yeah.

So in that paper, I think the initial study was to just look at these different kinds of detectors when an animal was alive and dead.

And the photon signatures obviously dissipate when the animal dies.

What that study didn't look at, which you alluded to, is when.
