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."

But Paul, you're worth it!
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!
