This is a good comment and still underplays the cost of MRI. Getting a reasonable 3T setup going will be a lot more than US$1 million. Running costs are very high, with a scanner lifetime service contract being somewhere between 50% and 100% the original cost of the MRI scanner.

Additionally, the scanner cost is only part the price. There is the Faraday cage, chilling, room setup, building strengthening, scanner install and shipping cost, peripheral equipment (compatible monitoring, injectors, compatible beds and chairs etc). It probably comes in at a doubling of the cost of the actual scanner.

While reducing the cost of the install and running will help a lot, the staffing is the larger cost in radiology, as techs and radiologists are expensive.

Costs will vary hugely depending on where you are in the world, but it isn't cheap anywhere.
