Ensuring mobile imaging quality meets or exceeds industry standards is an immense part of the  path to superior patient care. In addition to executing routine daily operations, healthcare providers rely on mobile MRI/CT units to bridge gaps during peak periods of imaging, equipment upgrades, or facility renovations. So what standard should facilities be expecting from their mobile imaging rental? 

Mobile Imaging Quality 

Clearly facilities should be seeking the “highest standard” of mobile imaging quality, but knowing the granular the details can help healthcare providers be more discerning when choosing a rental unit. Make sure that your rental fits the custom needs of your specific patients and facility.  With Cube Mobile Imaging, you can customize protocols to suit your unique site.

Image Resolution and Clarity 

Resolution and clarity are the predominant characteristics in mobile imaging quality that allow physicians and radiologists to reach crucial conclusions about a patient’s state of health. High-resolution images are key to precise diagnostics, allowing healthcare providers to detect even the smallest anomalies. Facilities should ensure the imaging unit is equipped with advanced imaging technology. For MRIs, this means a magnetic field strength of at least 1.5 Tesla for standard diagnostics. For multi-slice CT scanners, 64 slices or higher are recommended to provide detailed cross-sectional images. 

Consistency 

Having reliable consistency across all imaging sessions and patients is vital to the diagnostic process. The unit should be compliant to the industry standards set by the American College of Radiology, and should stand up to periodical quality assurance checks and protocols that guarantee images are reliable and reproducible. 

Expertise & Training 

Technologists regularly utilizing these units should have comprehensive training and expertise to ensure mobile imaging quality. These professionals should be certified and experienced in handling the specific type of imaging equipment on site. We also offer options for your team’s training as part of your rental agreement. Needs like training your team should come up as part of the consultation. Our team can guide you through any grey areas that might exist.
