Re:One whole-body MRI could replace multiple cancer scans by mattkrause on Monday May 20, 2019 @04:38PM (#19964926)
This!

I got up at 4am to run scans in grad school because the even the research scanners were booked solid, never mind the clinical ones. Scanners are really expensive: the machine costs a lot, it needs fairly particular conditions (shielded room, cryogens), and trained operators and analysts.

There's maybe a market for fleecing the extremely wealthy into undergoing MRI fishing expeditions, but you'd have to charge a fortune if you're going to buy scanners to do it.
