Good point. Not to mention a radiologist bills separately from the procedure. I have a $1M antenna near field scanner at work. It looks just like a CT scanner, but I don’t bill $6k per use, then another $1k on top to process the measurements. It’s capital equipment, and I bought it since it saves measurement time, which allows me to take in more work. What a load.
When we had our first kid, my wife had a “fun scan” done. A fancy 3D color ultrasound. It was $120 for a 1/2 hour session. Same diagnostic ultrasound cost $1000 on a much older machine, same person running it.
There was an article on here a couple of years ago about cheap, hand held ultrasound. I was downvoted for saying youl’ll never see it in use.

Consider a taxi. A taxi might cost $25,000. Smog machines that auto shops have are not cheap. An Boeing 787 costs around $600,000 a seat. Rent a hotel room lately?
