DEXA scanners cost $50K new versus $1M for whole-body MRI
“New, I think like 50,000, and that was more affordable than I thought because a whole body MRI scanner, which looks kind of similar, but it's doing an MRI scan, that's a million dollars. And so this like 50 K reasonable, and then I saw some used for like 15,00…”
