Or more... $2800 would be a cheap MRI in some places... $4K+ I've seen quoted.

It's also no coincidence that companies target physicians to form "imaging cooperatives" where they finance MRI/CT/PET offering recoupment times of a year or less...

and completely by chance have higher by a Std Dev or more ordering of imaging in their private practice...

It's hard, however ethical you are, to not err on the side of sending someone to imaging when you profit linearly off of said imaging.
