Technical reason that the camera could not get closer. The Magnetom Trio
(name on the machine) is a 3 Tesla MRI. A digital camera, or anything
ferrous, would not stand a chance near that.

What I am suspicious about, now, is how fast an MRI can process the data
it gets and display it. With how the slices are built into a 3D image, I
am not sure that it could process and display the choice before the test
subject finishes pushing the button. Gah, now I may have to quiz some
radiologists.
