Today I could do it; but that would be a stretch for me financially.
I think it depends on what part(s) of your body need to be imaged, and how long that procedure takes.

For most joints, I believe it is somewhere between $600 and $800. Money well spent when you consider months in queue are months when treatment/surgery is not happening, and months where the condition likely worsens.
