When you’re looking to purchase an MR system, Frank Pontillo, operations director at Bravo Imaging, recommends that you start shopping at least six months prior, and draw up bid specs to compare quotes. “Equipment quotes can often be like a maze to decipher, so providing bid specs to companies and having them all respond with the same specs will help ensure the customer gets what they need and limit surprises,” he says.

Pontillo makes the point that it could be a national company, but not have adequate engineering staff in your area. Project management references should also be provided because it’s important that the room is properly planned. Shielding, AC, power and other installation requirements have to be correctly communicated and carried out.
