Frequently Asked Questions

A mobile imaging unit is a fully functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), or PET/CT system housed in a specially designed trailer. It provides high-quality imaging services in a flexible, transportable format, ideal for hospitals, clinics, veterinarians and healthcare facilities that need additional imaging capacity.

• Flexibility: Deploy the unit where and when you need it.
   
• Cost-Effective: Avoid the high costs of building a permanent MRI suite.
   
• Increased Capacity: Handle patient overflow without long-term commitments.
   
• Rapid Deployment: Quickly add MRI capabilities without lengthy construction.

Mobile Imaging Units typically require 480V 3-phase power, which can be supplied by an on-site electrical hookup or a generator if needed.

• A level, paved surface for parking.
• Proper electrical connections, 480V 3-phase power and 150-200 amps. 
• A female Russell Stoll receptacle
• 4x4, ½ inch steel/aluminum or wooden pads to sustain the mobile, unless the mobile is placed on concrete surface 
• RF shielding considerations for interference-free imaging.
• Access for patient transport (ramps or lift access).

The mobile will take between 8-10 parking spaces, and it must be placed at least 10 feet from any moving traffic or large metal structures. 

Yes! Mobile MRI units use the same high-field magnets and softwareas stationary systems, ensuring high-quality imaging.dd an answer to this item.

Rental options range from short-term (a few weeks or months) to long-term (years) based on your facility’s needs.

Yes, routine helium refills, magnet monitoring, and preventive maintenance are necessary to keep the system running efficiently.
