Why do they say “it costs the hospital to use the machine” when the hospital owns the machine?

It always confused me. A hospital has an MRI or some other machine, and you hear they try to use it as little as possible to cut costs, because it costs them this or that amount per usage. But why would that be if they own it?

Operational fees. Like, if you had an A/C you wouldn’t want to use it all the time even if the A/C belonged to you wouldn’t it? Because yes, it’s very much yours and having it on brings you comfort but would you like to deal with the electric bill that comes with having it on 24/7?
