How much would it cost to buy a bunch of scanners (full body, and bucket-type for arms and legs) and employ technicians to do the scanning and offer this as a service to hospitals?
You could have technicians working on shifts to have out-of-hours scanning.
The scans are provided in electronic format to the patient and to the doctors specified by the patient. The centre encrypts all the scans and stores them for X years to cover regulation and litigation.
There's a big capital investment cost, but you're not doing any actual medicine there (no interpretation of scans, for example) and so litigation risk is reduced. You can concentrate on churning people through the machines, you don't have to give way to emergency cases that need immediate scans.
And the price of a scan can be listed up front.
Is this a stupid idea? (Or is it already being done?)
