Do you have a medical imaging facility? If so, at
some point youll probably experience an
equipment breakdown and youll need to source an
interim solution quickly. The same holds true if
you are going to upgrade a system in order to
accommodate the increase in demand at your
facility. If youre faced with the need for an
interim imaging solution, here are important
things to consider. Whether you need an interim
CT, MRI or PET/CT system, youll want to make
sure the interim equipment is both reliable and
high quality. You need to deliver high-quality
images in order to deliver correct diagnoses for
your patients. Youll want to work with a
reputable, experienced vendor who can deliver
both quality and reliability.

Your interim equipment should also be compatible
with your existing hardware. This includes both
PAC and DICOM systems. Issues with
incompatibility can result in unexpected downtime
and expensive mistakes. Youll want to choose
equipment that integrates perfectly with your
existing systems. Of course, all imaging
equipment is expensive, so an interim solution
can look very attractive from a cost standpoint.
However, you should definitely examine a
breakdown of all costs for an interim solution.
Look at the fees for shipping, installation and
removal as these can impact the actual cost.

You also need to consider the lead time needed
for your interim solution. Some interim equipment
can take several weeks to arrive, while others
could be at your facility in as little as 72
hours. Make sure you have enough time to make a
detailed step-by-step plan so it has minimal
effect on your workflow. Interim imaging
solutions can be a lifesaver if your imaging
equipment goes down or you need to address
additional demand for imaging. Make sure you
examine all details regarding any scenario that
may arise, including downtime, seasonal
fluctuation, upgrades and repairs. By doing your
homework and working with a reliable vendor like
Atlantis Worldwide, you can find an interim
imaging solution that can handle all of your
needs. For more information, contact Atlantis
