Ever wondered why a CT or MRI scan costs so much? It’s not just about the test itself — there’s a lot happening behind the scenes! 🏥
1️⃣ The Machines Are Priceless (Almost!)
A CT or MRI machine isn’t just a gadget — it’s like owning a luxury car. Each machine costs crores of rupees to purchase, install, and maintain.
2️⃣ Maintenance & Utilities
Keeping these machines running smoothly isn’t cheap. Think electricity bills, routine maintenance, software updates, and ensuring the equipment is always calibrated correctly. ⚡🛠️
3️⃣ Trained Staff
A scan isn’t just the machine — it’s the trained radiologists, technicians, and support staff who operate it, monitor results, and ensure safety during the procedure. 👩⚕️👨⚕️
4️⃣ Consumables & Extras
From contrast agents to disposable films, accessories, and other background costs — these all add up. Even small things contribute to the total cost. 💉📄
5️⃣ Life-Saving Investment
Unlike a luxury car that’s just for show, a scan is life-saving. It detects issues early, guides treatment, and sometimes even saves lives. It’s an investment in your health, not just a bill. ❤️
So next time you see a scan bill, remember — you’re paying for precision, safety, expertise, and cutting-edge technology.
✨ Health is priceless, and so is early detection!
