> First, these scanners rely on complex superconducting electromagnet/cryogenics designs and ever increasingly powerful electronics (including gradient and radiofrequency power systems) for fast imaging and/or advanced imaging features like brain functional MRI and diffusion tractography, yet routine clinical uses only necessitate a small portion of these imaging protocols. I guess this implies not?

That's talking about a conventional scanner, the article is about a permanent magnet and a more straight forward design.

  I guess then I will have to wait for someone much more knowledgable in mechanical engineering than me to answer. Thanks for the input.
