Open MRI devices offer a more comfortable imaging experience than traditional MRI device systems. These devices, which are an ideal solution especially for patients with claustrophobia, increase patient comfort by providing a wide opening. However, the use of open MRI machines requires careful analysis in terms of operating costs.
Open MRI Device Cost Elements
The basic cost elements to consider when purchasing or operating an open MRI device are as follows:
Purchase Cost of the Device
Since it has a wider structure compared to traditional MRI device models, its prices may vary.
The x-ray spare parts and magnetic components used affect the cost.
Energy Consumption
Since open MRI devices operate using strong magnets, their energy consumption may be high.
Operating costs can be reduced by choosing models with low energy consumption.
Maintenance and Repair Expenses
MRI devices are sensitive systems that require regular maintenance.
X-ray tubes, magnetic components and cooling systems wear out over time and may need to be replaced.
Personnel and Operational Costs
The training and salaries of the radiologists who will use the device should be included in the operating cost.
Agreements made with the technical service and maintenance team should also be added to the budget.
Income Obtained from Imaging Services
Open MRI devices have the advantage of accepting more patients.
The return on investment can be accelerated with a wide patient portfolio.
Recommendations for Efficiency in Cost Analysis
Energy-efficient devices should be selected.
Regular maintenance should be performed, thus reducing failure costs in the long term.
The number of patients can be increased with fast imaging and reporting systems.
The device life can be extended by using quality spare parts.
