[Neuroimaging] Open Source MRI Hardware?

[Athanasios Anastasiou]

Hello John and all

I have not come across this before and it really sounds like a good idea.

You would still have to buy key hardware though and at the moment it
doesn't sound cheaper than something like Terranova
http://www.magritek.com/products/terranova/

I can't find the price now but I recall something between £5k and £7k when
I was looking up its specs a few years ago.

For practical imaging of body parts, I think the cost of the hardware would
start accumulating quickly.

All the best
AA
