Just FYI: No MRI scanner that exists today, or even in the next 5 years will be able to scan images in realtime. Also functional MRI (fMRI) doesn't provide this high resolution. Theoretically yes, it was possible to do this, but it would require a very strong base magnetic field (think about at least 50T), you'd want high RF (>300MHz), and accordingly steep gradient magnetic fields (about 10% variation, so 5T gradient). Building such an MRI scanner is not impossible today, but it was prohibitively expensive right now.

Also medial imaging software doesn't look like this: There's no blinky stuff and figures are not wildly changing.
