[Question - Other] Why is ultrasound (and other imaging tech) so expensive?

This is going to sound stupid.

I know that the machines themselves costed the hospital a lot of money when they purchased it. But what about after? Like once the hospital already has the machine, are there maintenance fee for each machine that the hospital has to pay for regularly? Are the ultrasound gel (the part of the equipment that needs refill) expensive? What's making each ultrasound bill so expensive for the patients???

My point is, are ultrasounds a buy and done thing for the hospitals or are they something that's going to have an on-going cost for the hospitals.
