Magnetic resonance imaging provides unparalleled soft-tissue contrast, multiplanar imaging, and functional assessment without exposing patients to ionizing radiation - making it essential for neurology, oncology, orthopedics, cardiology, and musculoskeletal evaluation.
ARRAD supplies MRI systems across field strengths from 0.3T open configurations to 1.5T and 3.0T superconducting platforms, with bore sizes and patient table designs to match your facility. Whether you are opening a new outpatient imaging center, replacing an aging magnet, upgrading from open MRI to higher-field, or adding mobile MRI capacity, our specialists guide you through every phase - from system selection through site preparation, RF shielding, magnet delivery, helium management, image quality verification, and ongoing service.
MRI - Frequently asked questions
What buyers ask about mri equipment.
Should I buy a 0.3T open, 1.5T, or 3T MRI?
+
0.3T open permanent-magnet systems (like the Hitachi AIRIS) are ideal for bariatric, claustrophobic, and pediatric patients and have no cryogen costs. 1.5T is the most-installed clinical workhorse, balancing image quality, exam time, and ongoing helium and service cost. 3T delivers the highest SNR for neuro, MSK, prostate, and research work but adds RF shielding complexity. ARRAD scopes all three against your case mix and patient population.
How much liquid helium does a 1.5T or 3T MRI consume?
+
Modern zero-boil-off magnets consume very little helium under normal operation, but older Siemens, GE, and Philips 1.5T systems may need top-offs every 2 to 5 years and a quench-recovery refill costs $30,000 to $80,000. ARRAD discloses cold-head age and helium fill history on every refurbished MRI we sell, and we coordinate cryogen service nationwide.
What does MRI site preparation actually involve?
+
You will need an RF-shielded scan room (typically a copper or galvanized Faraday cage), structural floor reinforcement for the magnet weight, a magnetic-field fringe survey to identify the 5 gauss line, dedicated power and cooling, and a quench-vent pipe to the exterior for superconducting systems. ARRAD provides architectural drawings, fringe maps, and service-loop specs as part of any MRI purchase.
How is the magnet delivered and rigged into the building?
+
Most 1.5T and 3T magnets weigh 8,000 to 14,000 lb shipped, are moved by a specialized MRI rigging crew, and frequently require removing a wall or building a temporary doorway. ARRAD coordinates the entire rigging, ramp-up, and field-homogeneity shimming with a certified field engineer, so the project is turnkey from delivery through first clinical scan.
Can I replace the coils and software on a used MRI to extend its life?
+
Yes - new and refurbished surface, head, spine, breast, and cardiac coils from the OEM and third-party vendors are widely available, and a software upgrade can add new pulse sequences (diffusion, DWI, MRA, fMRI) on many platforms. ARRAD sources OEM coils and coordinates software upgrades through the manufacturer or qualified service partners.
