Plus software and technician time. We just got a new siemens
definition and its costing 450k (minus software upgrades) so that
200k is really low ball.
There is also the cost of the Tomography room where the unit
sits in. It consists of specialty HVAC system that provide perfect
humidity and temp.control. Also specail independent electrical
circuits to power the equipment, and RAM (radio absorbent)materials

How much does a typical CT Scan cost for an uninsured patient?
uninsuredpatient.org has cost comparison for hospitals in san
francisco area. Ranges from $804 to $3765 for a chest scan.
CT scan costs vary depending on the body part(s) being scanned.
For example, a CT scan looking for kidney stones acutally
encompasses two tests: a CT scan of the abdomen and a CT scan of
the pelvis. Also, if the physician has ordered contrast (aka dye),
the cost will increase.
CT scan costs vary from region to region and between facilities.
Hospitals have much higher prices versus outpatient centers which
have lower prices. You can look up prices using various websites
(one of which is mentioned above).
There are a few web sites that now let patients purchase
Radiology tests (as long as you have a doctor's order) and show
prices up front. These sites include:

Cat scan cost?
I take this question two different ways.
The cost of the CT machine itself or the cost of having a CT
scan test?
The cost of a CT scan test ranges from a few hundred dollars up
to a few thousand dollars per body part. Sometimes your doctor will
order multiple body parts at the same time, doubling or tripling
the cost. If paying out of pocket, shop around. There can be a
large difference in testing among area businesses. You must also
consider if your doctor orders it with contrast there may be a
charge for the contrast ranging from $500 to over $1200
additional.
If asking the price of a CT scan machine. This can also vary
greatly. I have seen good used machines sell for $20,000 all the
way up to top of the line new machines selling for $2 million.

Can you have a CT scan with staples still in your head?
Yes. Staples make the CT scan image look different and make it
harder to see small changes around that area, but they are
perfectly OK to go in a CT scanner machine. Most imaging areas have
certain rules about putting patients in an MRI machine with
staples. If getting an MRI check with them on their policies.
