   Tamez says even if a scan shows an empty hidden compartment it could pay off down the road. The imager gives us the opportunity to, once we find that compartment, scan it. If its empty we never have to tell the bad guy that we found it and all we can do is start doing our research and putting lookouts on this particular vehicle so we can target it at a later time, said Tamez. Tamezsays it saves his team time, money, and officers lives.

   His first scan was stable which was a good outcome, and then by the time he had a second and third scan, his tumors had started to shrink considerably, he’s now been under our care for several years, if you're one that looks statistics, we unfortunately don't expect someone with a recurrent tumor to be with us more than a time measured in months -- and often not very many months -- so he's had a tremendous response.
