 ==Introduction==
-With recent advances in medical technology, Helium-3 has become a highly desirable tool for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (NMR).  Hyper Polarized Helium-3 can serve as a short lived radio isotope that is easily administered and gives very high resolutions of the interior of the human body, specifically, the lungs.

-One major question is whether or not the final NMR imaging will be worth the extra cost of the helium-3 or if it will make it too expensive to be competitive with a regular MRI.
+One major question is whether or not the final NMR imaging will be worth the extra cost of the helium-3 or if it will make it too expensive to be competitive with a regular MRI.  With the material at its current rarity, it's impossible to know how much of a market will exist for this product.

-Start up costs for this business would be low, assuming that it is piggybacked on another mining operation; otherwise it would be prohibitively expensive.  Start up costs could be estimated in millions of dollars for establishing the marketing, sales, research and distribution networks necessary to effectively sell the product, but with the sales of Helium-3 to power utilities, the corporation should have money available.
