About ScannerFutures X-ray CT and MRI scanners and diagnostic X-ray systems are widely used across the public and private sectors, particularly in healthcare. Typically they are large, expensive installations and use X-rays or intense magnetic fields, which carry a certain risk. ScannerFutures explores the use of Radio Frequency (RF) waves as a safer alternative to X-rays in Computed Tomography (CT) and diagnostic systems, and intense magnetic fields in MRI. Since Radio Frequency CT is intrinsically safer it can be used on patient groups for which X-ray CT and MRI are unsuitable, such as pregnant women and the very young. RF CT could also prove significantly less costly than X-ray CT and MRI in terms of capital and operating expenditure, as it lends itself to a simple an
