The high temperature stuff is still very sensitive to strong changing magnetic fields, so I'm not holding my breath for MRI.

  But don't ignore improvements in low temperature superconductors engineering: https://dspace.mit.edu/openaccess-disseminate/1721.1/91644 https://dspace.mit.edu/openaccess-disseminate/1721.1/91644 ...I also believe that GE is working on a MRI using liquid hydrogen as the cryogen.

      Not much. Liquid hydrogen could leak a little. Then it could burn a little. In the liquid form its 100's of degrees away from burning.

      "This asphyxiant gas is expensive and dangerous if it leaks. What should we do?" "Well... we could replace the asphyxiant with an explosive gas?" "..."
