That price really doesn&#x27;t make a lot of sense.  I find it hard to believe that it bears any meaningful relationship to the cost of the MRI machine or the cost of running it or analysing the results.<p>After all such an MRI takes only a few minutes of machine time.  Let&#x27;s be generous and say it takes an hour and that it is in use for only 10 hours a day 20 days a month.  That means it turns over 300kUSD per month, 3.6MUSD per year.<p>You can probably buy one that would do the job for less than 500kUSD; see <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;info.blockimaging.com&#x2F;bid&#x2F;92623&#x2F;MRI-Machine-Cost-and-Price-Guide" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;info.blockimaging.com&#x2F;bid&#x2F;92623&#x2F;MRI-Machine-Cost-and-...</a>.
