You are exaggerating just a bit: https://info.blockimaging.com/bid/92623/mri-machine-cost-and...

Still not something you’d have in your home, but not nearly 10M dollars. Maybe you can have one in your community medical center?



These are old MRIs using low fields and limited slew rates. They will give you poor resolution, limited dynamic range and long scan durations (Which makes is even harder to avoid artefacts from patient motion). Check the price tags on new 3T or even 7T machines and they come close to the 10M I mentioned.
