3 T machines are not necessarily better, it depends on what they're trying to look at, getter a sharper image of noise is not useful.
Anyway, your estimate seems to be way off, basing it on a 6 year old puff piece for a cutting edge model that was deployed in a lab. The cost for a typical new MRI is more like $500k.
- s1artibartfast 6y agoDo have any personal info here, because the first ten articles I read were up there and your article doesn’t negate it
- phonon 6y agoDoesn't negate what? If you ask "How much does a car cost?" The answer is not "Here are some articles about people buying Lamborghinis that cost $250,000". Most people are using a middle of the road 1.5 T machine. https://lbnmedical.com/how-much-does-an-mri-machine-cost/ https://lbnmedical.com/how-much-does-an-mri-machine-cost/
- s1artibartfast 6y agoI never said I was talking about averages ct machines any more than a brand new 787-9 is the average plane. You can get a 20 year 737 for a lot less than 200mil, and is probably closer to the average. If your point is that MRIs less than 3T exist, I agree. If your point is that cheaper MRI exist, I agree. If your point is that nobody has spent 3 mil on a CT, then I disagree. A link showing the price of used machines 10-15 years old isn’t going to change that.
