Not really. The scanner owners are almost all universities. One typically does have to pay to use the scanner(and quite a bit--$500+ per hour is typical), but this is typically meant to cover the scanner costs. The equipment costs at least four million dollars, plus some ongoing costs (cryogens, typically a full-time tech or two, and maintenance; the power bill is probably not trivial either). |
