These prices don't make any sense. It takes usually about 1 minute to write a report on knee xray for a junior radiologist. Senior consultant radiologist will write a knee MRI report in 15 minutes. Also MRI machine cost probably 10 times more than XRAY machine. There is just no way these two exams could cost the same.
