Market Synopsis
A mobile MRI is a self-contained facility that includes a scanner, control room, and sometimes a patient changing space. Since the suite is housed on a large trailer/van/tractor that can be moved between different places or directly attached to a building, it is referred to as a mobile unit. Mobile MRI facilities provide the basis for establishing treatment plans and are used to determine a variety of disorders, by enhancing communication between healthcare providers, which is crucial in delivering the best possible patient care. The information can be accessed remotely and is secure and encrypted to protect individual privacy, patients do not need to travel to hospitals or a specialized imaging facility to pick up their results. Thus, this market holds a high growth potential owing to the benefits provided by mobile MRI facilities aforementioned. However, the difficulties of moving the system in a trailer under torque, vibration, shock, and lateral and vertical movement make maintenance of a mobile MRI an important consideration. As a result, a more frequent schedule for preventative maintenance and quality control checks is required.
