"...Could Replace X-Rays Within Five Years"

I would like to see more said about the 'forecasting' aspect of the story. Love the technology, waiting to see it happen... why five?

And why Could. Why not Must?

Or is this a story for twenty years later.. "could have replaced x-rays within 5 years..." Just do it.
