Short-term vs. Long-term MRI/CT Mobile Imaging Rentals: Choosing the Right Fit

Healthcare professionals and facilities have a spectrum of factors to consider when vetting an MRI/CT mobile imaging rental provider. One of the central tenets of a quality provider is flexibility, and that means providing both short-term and long-term rentals for clients when it comes to healthcare imaging needs. The question then becomes: How do you determine the proper rental arrangement for your facility’s circumstances? 

Short-term MRI/CT Mobile Imaging Rental

Short-term rentals offer high flexibility for facilities to immediately address their imaging needs without the commitment of a long-term rental. A short-term mobile imaging rental typically ranges from a few days to several weeks. They are often used to cover temporary needs, such as equipment failure, or as an alternative imaging environment during facility renovations. A sudden high volume of patients may create a backlog of scans that requires supplemental equipment. By contrast, a short-term rental can be a temporary fixture for a facility that has a low overall need for imaging equipment, or limited space to accommodate it. 

Long-term MRI/CT Mobile Imaging Rental

A long-term mobile imaging rental can last from several months to a few years. In the case of long-term rentals, there is a consistent demand for imaging services that a healthcare facility is currently unable to meet for a myriad of reasons. Long-term rentals are ideal for healthcare facilities with a high volume of patients, but insufficient resources to permanently build and maintain an on-site scanner. If a facility is considering plans for an on-site scanner, a long-term rental may be ideal for market testing before committing to permanent site accommodations.
