Many states limit supply of MRI machines through a "certificate of need" program where you have to convince a regulatory body that you should be allowed to own one.

That's part of the issue. MRI manufacturers "assisting" people through the process of this certificate.

Patents and huge up-front expenses to create, certify, market and distribute such a device.
