Full Coverage Service vs. Preventative Maintenance Service
Imaging equipment service is not a one-size-fits-all proposition, and comes with many questions.
The 1.5T scanner is the quintessential MRI machine. It's powerful enough to perform the vast majority of common MRI studies, readily available on the secondary market, and (relatively speaking) moderately priced- which is what you came here for, right?
Well, before we dig in and tell you what you can expect to pay for a used 1.5T MRI machine from one of the major manufacturers, you should know that the price for an individual system will vary across a number of factors including availability, coils, software levels, channels, and gradient type. To account for these variables, we'll show you the full range of current average prices for each machine.
