Medical technology moves at a rapid pace. Unfortunately, the associated costs escalate at a similar or even higher rate. The difficulties are compounded by especially significant advances, as seen with mobile CT services. The reasons why mobile diagnostic imaging is especially important aren’t always apparent. But consider two important trends.
First, technology tends to become smaller and more easily portable over time. Mass-produced components for devices like smartphones have sped the process even further along. For example, the complexity of devices to monitor heart conditions has been able to grow thanks to the ARM processors also powering phones. Mobile diagnostic imaging empowers healthcare providers to examine patients for serious conditions with equipment that would otherwise be tethered to a single spot.
On a small scale, this means that diagnostics can be performed in every room of a hospital. But on a larger scale, it means that healthcare providers can give cutting-edge care to people who are unable to travel to a facility. This can be a tremendous boon for any condition whose treatment results depend on early diagnosis. But while continually buying these devices is costly, there are rental options for mobile CT services. One huge benefit is that you have instant support for these cutting-edge technologies. But of course, renting also means that your investment is only in using, not upgrading, the equipment. This ensures that you’re always providing the best possible care to your patients.
