I think that is an interesting comparison but I'm not sure it's really applicable. A brain MRI can take up to 45 minutes or so. To be honest, I'm doubtful you could image someone's entire brain in detail via X-ray (as the article seems to imply) by using the sort of "one-and-done" X-ray normally used to look for run-of-the-mill bronchial infections, etc.
