I wonder if the $100,000 machine cost vs $100 sensor cost is mixing apples and oranges. Maybe the $100 is just hardware, while the $100,000 represents hardware, a repeatable process to manufacture the hardware, the costs of certifying the design, the particular instance hardware and the process that manufactured it, etc... This doesn't mean that in the end a lower cost imaging capability isn't possible.
