5 Reasons to Rent a Mobile PET/CT


Are you considering expanding your healthcare services with a PET/CT scanner but unsure whether to buy or rent? In our previous blog, we discussed "5 Reasons to Buy a Mobile PET/CT." Now, let's dive into the details of why renting might be the preferable solution for your needs.



Adding New Services with Low Risk 

If you ever think about “testing the market" to see if the demand can live up to the large investment of a PET/CT or to see if there’s any customer’s usage or any profit would generate from the investment, then renting is a much safer and cost-effective option for you.


Also, a Mobile is a park-it, leave-it piece of equipment that can fully function at the same quality as a fixed-site PET/CT. Not only will it require less investment budget but it is also affordable as it can help service multiple facilities based on its mobility. 



Prevent Backlog in Patient Volume 

Whether your facility is growing or you are looking for a temporary solution while renovating/repairing your current PET/CT system that may have construction problems, technical issues, or design delays. 


Patient backlog is a big issue that can prevent one facility from obtaining revenue or preventing clients from selecting your facility in the area. To make sure that your medical service is still on the top of choices you should consider renting a Mobile to keep the patient flow at the best rate. 



Sudden Increase in Patient Volume 

An increase in patient volume could be a good sign for a new investment, however, this could just be a temporary thing. In order to protect the money flow, it is important to carefully decide whether to buy a Mobile PET/CT or just rent it and use the revenue to pay for all the expenses. 



Ideal for Smaller Facilities 

Between reasons, a small or smaller facility is one of the top reasons one should rent a Mobile PET/CT. Space is always an issue, even in hospitals, so mobile units are an obvious choice when there simply isn’t enough room for in-house PET/CT.



Addressing Space Constraints (Even for Big Hospitals) 

Even if your facility is on the bigger end or a smaller end, the lack of space is a genuine concern when talking about PET/CT. As mentioned above, acquiring a machine can cause budget restraint even before seeing any generated revenue. Therefore, renting a Mobile PET/CT instead of buying is an affordable choice even for larger medical facilities.
