Strange that a lot of the comments here basically say "who needs this?"
But I remember when TVs were 640x480-ish and 1920x1080 was amazing. And 4k.
Maybe this won't be for knees in live patients. Maybe it won't be for MRIs in the far-flung corners of the world.
But what if it was for researchers to find elusive parts of the brain? What if the high quantity of data led to better algorithms for current MRIs to make them faster (which probably means cheaper).
I think of pure science and how it doesn't immediately teach us something, but later it answers (or provokes) questions and moves the needle.
Just saying.
That doesn't mean I don't groan at some advances - like any advance that "adds value" to some product by collecting more data without your consent. :)
Yes, unfortunate PR title that we the co-authors do not control. This generates some adverse gut response—-even for us. Headline writing is tricky in terms of the balance between reality and README.
