Top Long-Term Rental Options for an MRI
Change happens. Issues spring up that you didn’t expect. You need to make a decision quickly. It’s no different in the world of mobile imaging. In this case, maybe your dilemma is that you need a mobile MRI unit for longer than anticipated, perhaps six months or more. When you need to find the ideal scanner for the long term, here are our suggestions.
All-Around Functionality
Siemens Espree
The Siemens Espree is fast, accurate, and easy to use – one of the most popular scanners around. It’s based on TIM (Total Imaging Matrix), and its 70-cm bore diameter along with its higher capacity table (550 lbs) provides optimal patient comfort with exceptional image quality. When you have a higher volume of patients, making it worth the extra cost, this is your go-to scanner. It offers a variety of scan types, seamless clinical workflow, and it’s just what you need in a longer term rental.
The Tried and True
GE LX 9.1 and Siemens Symphony
If your budget is tight or your patient volume lower, these are excellent options. The GE LX 9.1 may be a harder rental to find, but your Siemens Symphony is more available and provides exceptional image quality at a great price. It is a short-bore, whole body MRI system with lightweight coils, offering efficient workflow, high quality imaging, and reliability. Even better, parts for repairs and upgrades are readily available.
Making the Choice
Deciding on which MRI scanner to use depends on many issues – bore width, coil configuration, patient volume, specifications, throughoutput targets and, of course, image quality and patient experience. All of these considerations take on even more importance when you need a long-term rental.
