Feasibility of ranged MRI devices
As some of you have pointed out, the only universal problem of stun guns is their "dosage", as some people may survive getting hit by a lightning bolt... seven times, others get themselves killed by simple tasers. So a futuristic society, in wich full cybernetic bodies (call them "shells" if you want) can exist, we can assume, that medical science is advanced enough to create scanners that can show a person's real-time medical conditions, just by pointing a gun at him and sending the data to the Sybil system a computer with large enough computing capacity to make a proper diagnosis, so the gun can recalibrate itself to dosage, that is highly unlikely to kill a person.
However, there is two major issue here:
1. We need huge supercomputers to analyze data coming from a moving object, or to fix blurred (by a magnetic or ferromagnetic items) images.
2. We have to find a method to use MRI, without carrying around huge magnets.
Note: I've already seen smaller, hybrid devices so far, but I couldn't find any data about their range.
Based on our current scientific knowledge, would it be possible to create a ranged scanning device with sufficient amounts engineering, that can make accurate medical readings, especially from the target's central nervous system?
