The size and type of your MRI system will affect the cost of maintenance. Cooling the magnet requires adding liquid helium, which means replacing the helium whenever the volume starts to drop. Lower-end MRI systems or extremity MRI systems cost $2,000 per month to maintain, while high-end, closed MRI systems cost $10,000+ per month to maintain. Closed systems are more powerful, which means you'll pay a higher price. The bigger the unit, the more you will pay. Open MRI systems are more affordable because they are less powerful. Although they do not use the strongest magnets available, upright systems are large. While you'll still get high-quality images, it's for the convenience of a candid setting that many people choose.
