One of the clinic's physician groups wants to purchase an MRI machine. Currently, clients who need an MRI must schedule an appointment at another facility. This adds time and cost to any treatment they need. The machine will be available for all physicians in the clinic. It will require additional staff to operate the equipment. In addition, the MRI will have to be housed in an office area within the clinic.

Your task is to prepare a cost-benefit analysis for the clinics senior leaders, so they can make an informed decision about whether to proceed with the purchase. Please provide references..
