In Russia torso MRI costs around $200-$300 too. Smaller exams on outdated machines could be found for as cheap as $80.
It is solely US thing that medical procedures have astronomical cost.
- jaclaz 7y agoIn Italy, my mother did a few months ago a contrast MRI (spine), directly paid in a private laboratory (outside the national service) for around 300 Euro. Which makes sense if the machine cost is around 1,000,000, appointments were every half an hour, so, let's say they make 15 scans per day at 300 each, it makes 4500 Euro/day by 220 days/year that is around one million Euro/year. You take out of it - say: 250,000 Euro for the machine (for 5 years) 250,000 Euro for personnel 250,000 Euro for maintenance, power, other costs 50,000 Euro for something else I don't know And you are still ahead for 200,000 Euro/year, i.e. roughly 20% of your investment.
