What we need is a movement towards saving and publishing the the actual data as close to the hardware as possible. But I'm sure medical hardware is full of quirky, proprietary Windows CE junk that makes this almost impossible. It's always easy to blame proprietary junk. But in this case, from the couple of things I know about it, I don't think the real problem in publishing actual data is that it's proprietary. Rather that doing something with that data is very hard. To the point that if you don't know how to build an MRI scanner, you probably also don't know how to transform the raw data into a usable and correct image.
