Welcome to Open Source Medical Imaging. A prototype machine will be $10k in materials instead of $1M off the shelf, and first images are expected next year. Lukas has received a Shuttleworth Foundation Flash Grant for this work, and just presented this at the world's largest MR conference.

Berto Jongman: Open Science – the Future?

Science

Open science: the future of research?

If we want to eradicate diseases in the developing world, increase innovation in the pharmaceutical industry and speed up the discovery of new medicines we need to share research, writes Alice Williamson.

…the ‘six laws' of open research:

All data are open and all ideas are shared for others to use, modify and share
Anyone can take part at any level
There will be no patents
Suggestions are the best form of criticism
Public discussion is much more valuable than private email
An open project is bigger than, and is not owned by, any given lab
