Buy or Rent a Mobile MRI?

A mobile MRI can be bought or rented from many diagnostic imaging companies. Deciding whether to buy or rent a mobile MRI or other diagnostic imaging equipment really depends on the situation of the establishment using it. A hospital or facility can buy a refurbished MRI which will be less expensive than buying a new MRI. Deciding to rent a mobile MRI may be less expensive and more convenient depending on the needs of the facility.

Why Rent a Mobile MRI?

If a hospital, medical clinic, diagnostic imaging center or another type of facility that uses MRIs on a consistent basis experiences an unexpected overflow of patients, then renting a mobile MRI can be a great temporary solution. The mobile MRI can be used for the time when there is an overflow of patients or for a longer period after the number of patients decreases. If equipment already installed in the facility is waiting to be serviced, then renting a mobile MRI can help to ensure that service is uninterrupted for patients waiting to have an MRI.

What is the Rental Period for a Mobile MRI?

A mobile MRI can be rented for brief or extended periods of time. Many times, the company can deliver the equipment almost immediately for the convenience of the client. In order to avoid any interruptions in service, renting a mobile MRI or any other type of imaging equipment may be the best temporary or semi-permanent decision for the client. Training is also provided to ensure that the staff is familiarized with the new equipment. The equipment is very complex and it is required to have a good understanding of how it operates. For the safety of the patients and the professionals operating the equipment, training is important especially since not all brands of mobile MRIs are created exactly the same.

What is the Process for Buying or Renting a Mobile MRI?

Many diagnostic imaging companies that refurbish equipment can help remove old equipment to bring in new equipment that is bought or rented. The diagnostic imaging company can purchase the old equipment for the purpose of refurbishing it or selling it. The mobile MRI can be transported and properly installed. Companies have the mobile MRI already installed in a trailer when the hospital, medical clinic, diagnostic imaging center, or other facility requests to rent it. The diagnostic imaging company can work together with the customer to specialize the mobile MRI and include any special accommodations.

Expense of Buying or Renting a Mobile MRI

Buying or renting a mobile MRI can be costly. Many companies have financing options to work around budgets of its customers while also providing products that meet the clinical requirements for customers. Companies can work directly with customers to find a solution for financing the mobile MRI. Leasing is an option when it comes to equipment from diagnostic imaging companies.

Whether a medical facility decides to buy an MRI or rent a mobile MRI, two things that should be evaluated are the budget and the time frame for having the MRI. Knowing the answers to both will help in the decision-making process of whether to buy or rent a mobile MRI.
