View Available Units →MRI Demand Outpaces Fixed Capacity
Imaging centers and hospitals nationwide face a critical challenge: demand for MRI services far exceeds available fixed capacity. Advanced MRI suites cost $5–$8 million to build and require lengthy construction timelines. Meanwhile, patient backlogs grow, referrals go unfulfilled, and revenue is lost to competitors offering faster access.
Mobile MRI offers a proven, flexible solution. Rental units deploy within two weeks — with emergency placements available in as little as 48–72 hours. Access 1.5T capabilities without massive capital investment. Move units between facilities or regions as clinical demand evolves. Reconditioned MRI platforms make the economics even more compelling, delivering institutional-grade imaging with rapid ROI.
USAMM manufactures both new custom-built and reconditioned mobile MRI platforms—each fully tested, equipped to your specifications, and ready to serve patients on day one.
Why Hospitals Choose Mobile MRI
Capacity Overflow
Absorb peak demand without expanding brick-and-mortar facilities. Rental units typically deploy within two weeks — emergency placements in 48–72 hours.
Rural Access
Bring advanced MRI imaging to underserved communities. Increase market share and patient reach.
Temporary Replacement
Bridge gaps during equipment downtime, maintenance cycles, or facility renovations—without disrupting care.
Program Launch
Test new clinical programs or specialties with lower risk. Scale quickly once viability is proven.
Cost Comparison: Fixed vs. Mobile
Capital Investment to Add MRI CapacityNew Builds & Reconditioned Units
New Custom Builds
Fully fabricated trailers paired with your choice of new or refurbished 1.5T MRI systems. Custom interior layouts, RF shielding, chiller, electrical/HVAC systems, and structural design engineered for your specifications and clinical workflow. New builds typically launch in 7–8 months.*
Reconditioned Units
Existing mobile MRI platforms restored to like-new condition. Complete refurbishment, interior refresh, MRI system testing, and certification. Reconditioned builds typically launch in 5–7 months.*
Modular Solutions
Site-installed modular MRI buildings engineered for permanent or semi-permanent expansion. Faster and more cost-effective than traditional construction — a turnkey alternative when a fixed suite is needed but a full buildout isn't practical.
Equipment-Only Solutions
Refurbished MRI systems — Siemens, GE, Philips — for your existing trailers. Expert installation, RF shielding integration, and factory-level testing to breathe new life into your platform.
*Build timelines are conservative estimates — refurbished units typically 5–7 months, new custom builds 7–8 months. Custom-built mobile units are significant investments, and we prioritize delivering a unit built precisely to your specifications. Timelines reflect current market conditions and may shift due to manufacturing schedules, equipment lead times, regulatory requirements, or other external factors.
