A member asked:
What components of an mri make it such an expensive machine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good question: The cost of equipment, training of technician, duration of imaging and time of radiologist to interpret 30-50 images all contribute to its cost. Yet the current cost seems more than would justify all above.
