Mobile CT Scanner Rental

Rent a Mobile CT Scanner

When making any decision about a CT scanner, you're probably cautious about diving in headfirst and hoping the water's deep enough. Instead, you may want to test the waters. This is especially true if:

  • You need an alternative option to your downed or otherwise unusable equipment

Advantages of Mobile CT Scanners

Mobile CT scanning has grown into an advantageous option in many settings. Clinics, hospitals, and private medical imaging centers, in both populated and rural settings, have found a wide range of advantages for an even wider range of applications.

Some of these advantages include:

  • Renting a mobile CT scanner doesn't require a huge upfront capital expense
  • Expenses for renting can come from a facility's operational budget
  • Mobile renting often comes with flexible terms and extension options
  • Mobile CT scanners are equipped for performance
  • Mobile CT scanners are designed for patient comfort
  • A mobile scanners can travel from one facility to another

There is a downside to renting. On average, renting a mobile CT scanner is more expensive than leasing or purchasing in the long-term.


Why Rent a Mobile CT Scanner?

Among rural clinics and hospitals, getting CT scans for local residents used to mean sending them to specialists located hours away. Today, a mobile CT scanner rental keeps clients local while offering periodic access to this technology at a more reasonable cost.

Additionally, the advanced technologies in many mobile imaging systems (such as GE, Toshiba, Siemens, and Philips) enable a high patient throughput without compromising patient care, workflow, or image quality.

Mobile CT renting may be a viable solution for any type of hospital or clinic, regardless of size.

Six other reasons why you should consider renting a mobile CT scanner include:

  1. Renting allows you to test the market and your customer base, providing a "trial run" to see if purchasing a CT scanner will make a good investment.
  2. A mobile rental provides a temporary solution when your current CT system has technical issues, construction problems, or design delays.
  3. While a CT exam room is undergoing renovations, a mobile CT scanner rental allows you to continue seeing patients and bring in income.
  4. Mobile renting provides an easy and economical solution for research studies or short-term, portable CT scanning.
  5. If you have a growing backlog of patients, a CT rental working alongside your current scanner can dramatically reduce the backlog.
  6. A mobile CT rental might not be financially intelligent for a single, low-traffic clinic. However, for a network of low-traffic hospitals and clinics, a mobile CT scanner can run a route, stop at multiple clinics, and serve each facility's needs.

And now, the part you've waiting for — how much does a mobile CT rental cost?

For instance:
