    Funky dunc, I do have lots of questions regarding hospital costs which you can advise me on. Here are some for you.

    1 : Cost of CT scan to a hospital(NHS Obviously)
    2 : Estimated cost of keeping someone in hospital, per night?

    I’ve looked into this quite alot and do have some rough idea, but it would be great to hear from someone direct.

    Cheers

    Chris

    Estimates of ct scan price vary at about a couple of hundred quid depending who you ask, likewise a stay in hospital varies from 2-5 hundred depending who you ask….

    What about 5 weeks on ICCU, MRI, CT scan, Gamma Camera, course of Intravenous immunoglobulin, and loads of Calpol?

    From what I’ve been told the a ct scan costs around £50.00 to the hospital. This is for staff/electricity etc/machine maintenance. This is during the day when staff are operating the machine routinely. Sounds rather cheap but I’ve seen it costed on 2 cost reports from 2 major hospitals.

    What about the cost of buying or renting the machine on top of the other stuff you’ve mentioned?

    “There is wide variation in utilisation rates of MRI and CT scanning machines. However, because there is no central collection of data, individual trusts cannot compare their utilisation rates and costs with other trusts in order to improve efficiency. Trusts report their average costs per scan, but they do so differently. In 2008-09, the average cost per CT scan ranged from £54 to £268; and, for MRI, it was between £84 and £472 per scan. However, for radiotherapy, the Department of Health has developed a dataset which will enable comparisons to be made about efficiency and utilisation between radiotherapy treatment centres.” National Audit Office.

    Who knows, I’m guessing these costs are once the hospital own the equipment, operating costs I guess.

    If you knew then, how much I’d go on about it. You’d not have bothered. X

    Glupton/Dr death you can see the acetabular component, and the cement around it – metal on poly bearing. Plus the femoral head is smaller than that for a hemi. And hemi’s look different.

    Agree left side suspicious, although needs another view.

    OP apologies, this does not help you!
