Why would they remain fundamentally expensive? It is a fixed machine (so eventually you recoup the investment) and running consumes nothing other than electricity and a paper gown. MRIs cost under $200 in Japan.
- lostlogin 3mo ago> $200 This makes more sense than the comment elsewhere here that says $50. My guess: It would be a basic scan with minimal sequences and low quality at that price.
- byw 3mo agoIs $200 close to what it costs the hospital, or after subsidies?
- js4ever 3mo ago$200 is the cost for the hospital, they "resell" it for $750-1500 mostly paid by insurance
- BobbyTables2 3mo agoWith insurance in the US they’re $750 each… As in elbow and wrist on the same arm count separately…
