Would it be possible to use some improvement on modern CAT or MRI scanners to infer enough about the structure of a brain to reconstruct the memories and personality?
This was discussed on the cryonics mailing list some time back. The conclusion was that using radiation to infer the structure of the neurons in a brain in a reasonable amount of time would require enough radiation to vaporize that brain. Then the discussion moved on to nuclear-bomb x-ray holography devices in outer space that record the results on film that has to be moving by at an astronomical speed so it doesn’t get caught in the blast. Cremation and immortality, all in one convenient package. I find nanotechnology-based approaches more believable, albeit less spectacular.
