I reiterate, re: more legitimate mags, letters can make a difference. A
very mainstream radiology rag I received had about 3 ads per month re:
mammography featuring nudes modeling their equipment rather graphically.
I wrote to complain, and I bet others did too (I have a realistic view of
my effectiveness as one individual) and next year the vendors showed
only the xray images - much more interesting to those seeking good mammo
imaging equipment. Photos of models in the Compressar had no value re:
equipment.
So, if you dont like what's in a mag or it's availablility - try talking
to the company.
