Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What is a mobile MRI trailer rental?
A mobile MRI rental is a complete, self-contained MRI suite built into a semi-trailer that can be parked at a hospital, imaging center, or clinic. This unit is a GE SIGNA HDxt 1.5T MRI system installed in an AK Specialty Vehicles trailer.

2. Why would a facility rent a mobile MRI instead of buying one?
Facilities commonly rent mobile MRI units:

• During a fixed MRI replacement or renovation
• To reduce patient backlogs or handle seasonal demand
• To test demand for a new imaging service line before investing in a permanent installation
• After equipment failure or a disaster

Renting avoids the capital cost and construction time of a fixed installation and gives scanning capacity on a short timeline.

3. What can the GE SIGNA HDxt 1.5T be used for?
The SIGNA HDxt is a widely used 1.5 Tesla platform that supports routine and advanced clinical imaging, including neuro, spine, musculoskeletal, body, breast, vascular, and cardiac exams. The available applications depend on the software revision and coil configuration, both of which are tailored to each facility’s needs.

4. Is a 1.5T MRI good enough for my facility, or do I need 3T?
1.5T is the most widely used field strength in clinical MRI. It handles the large majority of routine diagnostic exams well and is generally less prone to certain artifacts, such as those around metal implants. 3T offers higher signal for some specialized applications, such as advanced neuro or research protocols. Our technical specialists can help you decide based on your exam mix.

5. What site preparation is required for a mobile MRI trailer?
Typical requirements include:

• A level, load-rated pad (usually concrete) large enough for the trailer
• Dedicated electrical service (typically 480V three-phase), sized to the specific system
• Phone and network connectivity for image transfer to your PACS
• Safe patient access, such as a canopy or connector to the building
• A controlled area around the trailer for the magnetic fringe field

Our technical specialists are available 7 days a week to help with site planning.

6. How quickly can a mobile MRI be delivered?
Units can be delivered to anywhere in the lower 48 states in as little as 2 weeks, depending on availability and site readiness. Delivery to Alaska and Hawaii requires additional time.

7. What is included with the rental?
The rental includes:

• The MRI system and trailer
• A full set of system coils configured for your facility
• The system chiller
• A contrast injector

The customer is responsible for one-time delivery and setup costs, which are quoted on request. Applications training is available and quoted per day.

8. How long can I rent a mobile MRI, and how is pricing determined?
Rental terms range from 3 months to multiple years. Longer rentals receive discounted rates. Pricing is quoted based on the system configuration and the length of the rental.

9. Can the mobile MRI accommodate larger patients or patients with limited mobility?
Table options with up to 700 lb capacity are available. Dockable table options are also available, which let patients be prepared outside the magnet room. Contact us to confirm the configuration that best fits your patient population.
