- kube-system 6y agoThe radiologic technician's (aka radiographer) labor would also be part of the cost of the imaging. I suppose this is probably the job title the above comment was looking for.
- bigbubba 6y agoA quick web search leads me to believe this is a minor expense. Either way, I expect the true cost of imaging, including the labor of the technician, is miraculous cheaper in developed countries other than America.
- kube-system 6y agoSure, but that's an entirely different comparison than what was being discussed above. All developed countries share the aforementioned facility, personnel, regulatory, and equipment costs that differentiate modern medicine from mid-20th-century shoe stores. Even developing countries perform medical imaging to higher standards than the circumstances detailed in the article.
