With a voxel size of 2x2x8mm^3, this would do what X-rays/CT's do now, and a bit more (but likely not replace high-energy MRI's? I'm not understanding how they rival high-energy accuracy in-silico, but that's how the paper's written)

In the acute setting, faster and more ergonomic imaging could be big. E.g., in a purpose-build brain device, if first responders had a machine that tells hemorrhagic vs ischemic stroke, it would be easier to get within the tPA time window. If it included the neck, you could assess brain and spine trauma before transport (and plan immobilization accordingly).
