In-house service of imaging equipment, especially high end items, is a real challenge. These revenue-making machines cannot be down for long periods of time. Therefore, experienced staff is required for these units. It isn’t possible to train a newbie on the hospital’s only CT scanner. Sure, definitive action is needed. Most hospitals move into these areas slowly, beginning with simpler units where the hospital
has multiple identical units. If this is successful, they may move up to the more expensive and critical devices.
