Interesting niche application with several obvious advantages. However these days you really need a multichannel sense coil. There is no way this thing is producing images with the speed and quality of a 1.5T or 3T with full sense coils, but like everything there are trade offs. I also don't love how the baby I so isolated, but I get why that is. Incorporating a shielded room might be worth it to make the bore open and accessible, perhaps an optional configuration? Are there coils for torso and extremities, or only head for now? So there are no ferrous object restrictions in the exam room? What does the fringe field map look like? Where is the 5 gauss line? Shim specs? Is it passive or active second order?

Interesting
This getting FDA approved is major. I would think safety clearance was a tough hurdle being so enclosed. I can envision many horrific worst cases.
