With the continual advancements in healthcare technology, investing in your practice and upgrading equipment can be an ongoing process. New equipment can be expensive especially when it comes to diagnostic imaging equipment. Physicians want to make sure they purchase equipment they can depend on so they do not have to worry about a faulty system that can lead to a patient misdiagnosis. Still, not every facility can afford the hefty price tag associated with new equipment so refurbished equipment may be a viable solution. Read on to learn more about refurbished nuclear medicine equipment for cardiac stress testing.
What is Refurbished Medical Imaging Equipment? Used vs. Refurbished
Refurbished medical imaging equipment is a reliable and trustworthy option. Unlike used equipment, refurbished equipment is thoroughly tested and upgraded to meet Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) standards before being resold. During the refurbishment process, equipment is thoroughly inspected, calibrated, and tested from both a technical and clinical perspective. If you decide to purchase from a company that specializes in refurbishing equipment, you can have peace of mind that your medical imaging equipment will meet OEM standards and be fully equipped for patient use.
What Equipment is Used in Nuclear Medicine?
TTG Imaging Solutions is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certified in sales, repair, refurbishment, installation, and service with 24/7 support. We have a diverse portfolio of refurbished medical imaging equipment from reliable brands. Some of our offerings include:
SPECT Scanners
- SPECT or Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography is a nuclear medicine tomographic imaging technique that uses gamma rays and allows a physician to see how well a patient’s internal organs are functioning.
- Despite the already lower price-point for a SPECT system, buying refurbished is a great way to save and maintain diagnostic confidence. Some of our exceptional SPECT system offerings include the Philips CardioMD, GE Millennium, and Siemens SymbiaS.
SPECT/CT Scanners
- SPECT/CT or Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography combines the information from a nuclear medicine SPECT scan and a CT scan. The combined scan provides precise information about how different parts of the body are working to clearly identify problems.
- While in the past primarily large hospital systems could only afford hybrid imaging technology like a SPECT/CT scanner, many private practice physicians can now offer this type of imaging in their laboratories thanks to the refurbished option. Learn more about our SPECT/CT system offerings that include the GE Infinia Hawkeye and Siemens SymbiaT.
PET/CT Scanners
- PET/CT or Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography is the best diagnostic and therapeutic tool for anatomical and physiologic imaging.
- A new system can easily cost up to $3 million but purchasing refurbished can save you millions and still provide you with superior diagnostic capabilities. We have PET/CT systems that deliver excellent imaging results that include the GE Discovery VCT 64 and Siemens Biograph mCT.
