Symbol for the negative decadic logarithm of the H + ion concentration (measured in moles per liter); a solution with pH 7.00 (1 Ã 10 -7 g molecular weight of H +K per liter) is neutral at 22Â°C (that is, [H + ] = [OH - ]), one with a pH value of more than 7.00 is alkaline, one with a pH lower than 7.00 is acid.
For example, the cost of a CT scanner can be as low as $65,000 for a refurbished one that produces only small images quickly. A larger and brand new CT scanner can run as high as $2.5 million. Prices are slightly higher for MRI machines, running up to about $3 million for a new machine.Ultrasound machines are much cheaper at $10,000-$200,000, depending on brand and type. For hospitals and imaging centers, the base price for machines is just the beginning. larger and brand new CT scanner can run as high as $2.5 million.

In the simplest terms, MRI machines use extremely powerful magnets combined with electromagnetic fields, and coils which produce radio waves, to produce detailed images of organs and tissues in your body. MRI machines do not use radiation and are non-invasive.They are, however, noisy.Noise is created when magnetic fields are cycled on and off, and when magnets exert an opposing force to each other. (There are several magnets in each MRI machine.) The noise is not harmful, but some people may find it alarming or annoying.t Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology, we have invested in special sound dampening walls in our MRI waiting rooms so that you do not hear sounds from other scans while you are waiting. While you are having the exam itself, we provide you with headphones to diminish the sound and increase your comfort.
