> As far as the video thing, the only reason I can imagine is because MRIs are basically huge magnets so they have to build the whole thing out of non-ferrous materials. Plus the customary medical equipment mark up, but still that can't actually be $40k.
There is another solution, which is to use a reflective surface at 45 degrees to your eyes and a video projector the other end of the room focused down the scanner. A few years ago I volunteered for a functional MRI brain scan which required me to watch various video clips, that's how they did it for me. I guess it might be slightly cheaper, but knowing medical equipment maybe not.
