Before purchasing an MRI machine


Before purchasing an MRI machine, the following should be considered:
Is there a need for the machine in your setting?
Is there a consumer base that can afford the scans?
Can you afford to purchase an MRI scan machine? ( The accepted minimum is a 1.5Tesla machine)
Do you have space to house an MRI machine?
Are there qualified personnel to operate the machine?
Are there specialists who can interpret the scans and give a report? 

If there is a demand for a machine, and the purchase is justified,etc.
Usually one can recover the cost of a machine in about 3 years time (assuming regular usage).
