Over 50 people including physicists, clinicians, scientists and engineers, are currently working on the commercialization of the scanner and research into clinical applications. According to Butler, “It is this interdisciplinary approach which has driven the success of the project, and allowed an innovation from New Zealand to make waves on a global scale.”
