I actually had the same idea while laying in an MRI machine as a child. Problem is, nobody would take me seriously. And I still don't work for GE, so nobody would take me seriously suggesting this now -- hospitals are frustrating places.
As great an idea as this is, GE would do better if they made their scanners work. Their software is a dire mess, buggy as hell and the image quality is low. I use their flagship scanner 750w 3T.
Yeah, I had the same idea while reading the title of the post, having only seen MRI machines on TV. So yeah, this isn't rocket science. They're just not focused on that aspect.
