PET Scan Machine for Sale: How to Find the Best

Finding the Right PET Scan Machine for Sale

Quick decisions and fast action come with a lot of benefits in the function of a clinic, but taking time to ensure the best possible decisions are made when looking to buy new equipment can have it’s payoffs. This is especially true when looking for an essential piece of equipment, like a PET scan machine for sale.

When browsing machines, whether new or used, research and diligence is best in helping to avoid making an erroneous purchase. Two of the most significant factors in this process include building trust with the people you are working with and utilizing the connections you already have. 

The purchase of a device should not be done alone. Building relationships of trust and utilizing the connections that already exist are both important and easy to overlook.

Who to Trust in Your Search

Having faith in the people that are aiding you in your search is critical for this process. That doesn’t mean it is a good practice to trust the first person willing to offer help. Due diligence in the process of reviewing background and reputation of the people you are working with is essential with such an important purchase.

Look at a person’s past work and the connections they have in the industry. Understanding the reputation they have built for themselves and the people they have in their circle puts you in a position to see how well deserved their reputation is. A mere resume of impressive accomplishments and history proves nothing. Take your time to confirm the level of reputability.

Connections You Already Have to a PET Scan Machine for Sale

Do not overlook the connections you have already made in the industry, even if they are not the closest of companions. You have a lot of people throughout the industry that you interact with on a day to day basis in the process of running a firm or doing your work. 

Exploring relationships to discover the utility of certain connections is a powerful step in your process. Even if they are not a direct connection to a PET scan machine for sale, there is always a possibility they have second or third connections that could yield results for you. 

Tapping into one part of your network has a much greater reach than a single individual. The reach goes to expand to their connections and, really, just by talking to a single person, you are opening doors far beyond the original scope of the interaction. 

The chance to expand your reach does not mean you should ask anybody you’ve ever interacted with. Being in the industry does not automatically mean a person is trustworthy. Carry out due diligence to ensure trustworthiness.

Siemens Biograph PET MRI vs PET/CT Scanners

When new technology is introduced, it is natural to measure it up against its predecessors. With Siemens Biograph PET MRI, one may wonder if it will deliver results on par with the traditional PET/CT Scanners. The new technology has the advantage of bringing together positron emission tomography (PET) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to cover a wider variety of needs with a single device. The concern has not been with the utility of the technology, but with the quality of it.

The technology used in Siemens Biograph PET MRI has been utilized for diagnosing and treating diseases including Alzheimer’s, dementia, lymphoma, brain tumors, and breast cancer, along with a number of other cancers. If the images produced by the technology would be compromised, it would not contribute to progress in helping doctors treat or diagnose diseases. An increase in the number of diseases that can be detected and treated is a minuscule gain if the quality to which they can be detected is marginalized.

Marquis Medical is on the cutting edge of the scanner industry. With the latest information and technology to serve your unique needs, we are your go-to service provider for all your PET/CT related questions.

Through a number of case studies, Siemens Biograph PET MRI has appeared to hold its own. In some cases, the MRI component of the technology was able to identify lesions that the PET technology did not reveal because of the small size of the lesions themselves. There has also been evidence of increased acquisition time with this PET MRI technology over PET/CT systems.

This is not to go so far as to say that PET/CT technology is obsolete. There remains a tremendous range of applications for the technology, and a few tests displaying a higher range of detection for new technology is not a reason to scrap the existing technology that has served us well. It may be more of an indication of the winds of change. This technology has proven that it has very real applications that can change the way we treat patients for the better. Technology is always moving in the direction of progress and this is a sign that future technology may look a lot more like Siemens Biograph.
