Are you sure? http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2012/technology/1202/gallery.philips-winning-design.fortune/11.html http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2012/technology/1202/gallery.... "The glowing light ring of this MRI scanner is meant to distract patients from their procedure and sooth their nerves. The entire unit was designed to help improve the workflow of technicians and caregivers." But I have to say, when I asked google images for "mri scanner", with exceptions they mostly looked more or less the same to me, so I guess everybody designs them with similar goals in mind. Now, to make an MRI scanner that looks like, oh I don't know, maybe that plant/vagina thing from Pink Floyd's "The Wall"; that would be truly bold design. And altough I'm not really fond of Giger, he should make one, too. > There is no place for a designer as they don't understand how to keep things easy to clean and repair.
