Are senior surgeons expensive/prestigious enough to get away with that sort of damage to MRIs?
I’ve read that used prices on lower field strength gear with smaller imaging volumes have really come down(the teeny ones that chemists are still honest enough to call ‘NMR’ might even be very loosely described as ‘affordable’); but taking out an MRI suite until the vendor can do a service call seems several notches higher than harassing junior staff in terms of things that would disincline management to cover for you.
