John,I do medical imaging software for living, so PET is one of the areas that i had to struggle with for a number of years :-). In any case the verification of the measurement accuracy is quite simple, as i mentioned in the previous post. Whether they actually calibrated their measurement is not clear from the article, i hope they did. (Nobody wants to be in the cold fusion vs. red cooler discussion.) I would love to see independent verification of their results since they do go against the grain of conventional wisdom. Better way of measuring this would be using functional MR (Magentic Resonance). The effect of HF sound field on the pick up coils would need to be studied more carefully, i suspect an open MR would be more susceptible to interference. I do not see how you could do this with a traditional small bore MR.
