The idea sounds great, but the examples they provide aren’t encouraging for the usefulness of the technique:

> The brain images showed various brain tissues whereas the spine images revealed intervertebral disks, spinal cord, and cerebrospinal fluid. Abdominal images displayed major structures like the liver, kidneys, and spleen. Lung images showed pulmonary vessels and parenchyma. Knee images identified knee structures such as cartilage and meniscus. Cardiac cine images depicted the left ventricle contraction and neck angiography revealed carotid arteries.

Maybe there’s more to it that I’m missing, but this sounds like the main accomplishment is being able to identify that different tissues are present. Actually getting diagnostic information out of imagining requires more detail, and I’m not sure how much this could provide.
