    When it comes to studying human physiology,
    I always come to the conclusion that in most cases a set of people are chosen,
    to verify someone's hypotheses about something, instead of a study that can either prove OR
    disprove somoene's hypothesis..
    More and more shows up like that..

    Well, here's something I think that might help since it does not exist yet, but may allow for con's
    to some popular believed but not-so-true theories..

    I know MRI has been around for 2 decades now, and that it's rather old..
    How about an MRI (at birth, at one year, at five years and then for each five years..)
    that simply shows the subjects condition at each such ages..
    Then compared against case studies that show a certain hypthesis to be true,
    and then verified through this database ?
    A high res MRI, stored in every detail it's taken..
    Then when something happens, it can show whether or not something has built up over time,
    or simply was always there..
    When the detail is great enough, it can help settle most cases when time is involved..

    Technically 10-20 years ago, there would have been NO way to store that kinda data
    for so many people, but times are changing..
    Storage comes in more and more higher capacities, in smaller sizes..

    Can anyone tell me what kind of amount data woul yield such a high yield MRI scan ?

    (So I can work out ways to store and how ?)
