Full Coverage Service vs. Preventative Maintenance Service
Imaging equipment service is not a one-size-fits-all proposition, and comes with many questions.
Whether you're meeting an increased volume need, testing a market, or simply trying to shift some spending away from your capital expenses, a portable X-ray rental can help you accomplish your goals. If you're considering a rental, you might be wondering which models are available to rent. Below is a brief overview of digital portable X-ray systems from major manufacturers that you'll find in the rental marketplace.

As you move further down the list, please note that the less common systems may not be as easy to service and are more likely to present your staff with a bit of a learning curve.
"Fan Favorites"
The order of our list not only indicates a system's availability, it's also a gauge of its popularity among X-ray users. Recently, the Carestream DRX Revolution has taken the "best in class" designation. It's known for its relatability and tech friendliness. The GE Optima 220 is a close second, with an extensive network for parts and engineers. If your rental provider has the DRX Revolution or Optima 220 available when you want to rent, your facility will be well served by either of them.
