MRI market is very small and regulated as of today. Wider adoption of reasonably simpler devices would change everything, just recall how crazy expensive computers were in 1950s.
Among useful applications I would imagine, for example, the fast image-based information retrieval - e.g. useful for recommendation systems (in other words - Netflix could invest in a 'imagine anything and we find you a movie like that').

MRI needs a lot of power, a shielded room, strong magnetic fields (which are both annoying and dangerous). Many of these are physical constraints rather than just...where the market happens to be.
