How come medical equipments cost so much for an hospital?

312 views

I realize that there are huge costs for those companies that manufacture medical equipment in the first place, especially in R&D activities. However, what determines a different price between, for example, an MRI machine (that can cost $3 million) and a Mammography machine (around $50k)?

These prices come from a quick Google search and may, therefore, have to be contextualized.

Applying for and receiving FDA approval costs a fortune, on top of what you already mentioned.
