    Man, souch toch pack in a single comment…

    It’s 150K, not 15K

    And it’s saved, not cost

    And it literally says what it does in the first paragraph of the article

      The article does say that the hospital paid $15k for the toy scanner. Which does seem quite expensive for a toy. I would hope it makes a similar noise and has a motorized controls or something to somewhat justify that price.

      Though spending $15k to save $150k is still worthwhile.

      After the United Lincolnshire Hospitals Charity purchased the miniature scanner for £15,000, Ms Crook said she was able to show children the device to play with.

      Perhaps you should read beyond the first paragraph of the article.
