2) Toshiba / Canon MRI Machines
2) Toshiba / Canon MRI Machines
The Canon MRI system was previously known as the Toshiba Medical System and was introduced with attractive image quality and reasonable prices so that buyers do not have to spend a high budget to buy a luxury model and get DOT technology. This is said because, M-Power is a standard configuration and available on all Vantage series from 2010 onwards. In other words, M-Power streamlines the process to improve their MRI performance.Canon tends to provide highly effective spatial coding of RF signals and high SNR directly improves image quality. However it is the last system on the market without zero helium boil-off magnets. the service is not widely available like Siemens and GE, But if Canon has the service, maybe it is the best no 1 choice.
Canon produces more attractive models and provides low-powered MRI systems such as the Vantage Elan. The system is easy to install with lower power requirements than any other system on the market. Canon offers the largest FOV of all MRIs. Not only that, but they also provide the best noise reduction, which uses acoustics to eliminate the noise produced by the magnetic field. Here are the Canon MRI systems available on the used market:
1) Vantage Titan 1.5T
2) Vantage Elan 1.5T (zero helium boiling magnet)
3) Vantage Orian Upgrade 1.5T

3) GE MRI Machines
3) GE MRI Machines
GE supplies systems that are reliable, easy and cheaper to service. In other words, Ge is an MRI machine in the development of zero helium boil-off. They will offer the best software in the world and have a long list of advanced applications that are always available as standard configuration. For example GE Discovery offers 32 channels which makes it a very attractive option for use by any Hospital.GE MRIs are easy to service and have cheap prices for spare parts for the machine in the event of a breakdown. Over the years using MRI, service has become more important and keeping costs as low as possible.
Although the system may be a little expensive, the low operating costs will make a difference in the long run. In a few years, GE will increase the line of MRI systems and is expected to gain more shares in the market as follows:
1) Signa Discovery HDxT 1.5T
2)Optima MR360 or Brivo MR355 1.5T
3) Discovery MR450 1.5T

4) Philips MRI Machines
4) Philips MRI Machines
The Philips company provides quality and reliable MRI systems, but they are quite expensive to purchase and service. Philips offers accuracy and a wide variety of applications but their use can be more complicated than what was seen through previous models. Philips zero helium boil-off system was less satisfactory in previous years and more expensive in the market. However, on closer inspection, it is an accessible Machine with quality magnetic components. The sealed magnet contains 7 liters of liquid helium and does not require refilling.

How Much Does An MRI Machine Cost?
How Much Does An MRI Machine Cost?
The market currently offers used MRI machines that are less expensive than brand-new ones, despite the fact that many must believe that these devices are pricey due to their sophisticated technology. If consumers are aware that the cost ranges from 35,000 to over 250,000 euros. Used MRIs, on the other hand, are limited to testing the limbs; sophisticated brain investigations, bone marrow, prostate scans, and blood perfusion can only be performed on newer models of MRIs. The Esaote E-scan and C-scan are two of the least expensive MRI systems available on the secondary market since they are an excellent option for veterinarians and orthopedists.
The manufacturer, type, and imaging capabilities of an MRI scanner can all affect its cost if it's a sophisticated and pricey piece of machinery. For instance, secondhand brands of MRI scanners are far less expensive than those with greater magnetic fields, such 1.5T or 3.0T. Because helium systems need to be refilled annually and because boil-off magnets are more expensive than regular magnets, helium systems require a lot of maintenance. However, because it doesn't need to be refilled with helium for up to ten years, maintenance costs can be substantially lower. Several factors influence the cost of an MRI scanner, including:
1) Year of manufacture (YOM)
2) Field strength
3) Gradient strength
4) Slew rate and channels
5) MRI coil
6) Helium cost
7) Shipping costs
8) Installation and warranty
3 Main Categories of MRI Machines
3 Main Categories of MRI Machines

The installation cost of this machine is lower than other categories and is suitable for basic imaging needs as it provides quality images for routine examinations such as musculoskeletal.
2) Advanced Level MRI Machine
2) Advanced Level MRI Machine
The next category is MRI Machines with tesla 1.5 and 3.0 which usually have 8 to 16 channels. The price can reach $200k to $375k depending on the model that the manufacturer releases such as GE Excite HDxt, GE HD23x, Philips Achieva 3T MRI, Siemens Espree, Siemens Avanto and Toshiba Titan. It offers more advanced imaging capabilities than entry-level scanners, including faster scan times and high resolution. These MRI machines work to provide clearer images for diagnosis and treatment planning. Its use is commonly found in Clinics, Hospitals and larger imaging centers to perform a higher volume of scans.
3) Premium Level MRI Machine
3) Premium Level MRI Machine
The last category is the premium level including 3.0T or higher MRI machines that have 16 or more channels. In terms of price, this machine is in the $400 and above category such as the GE Signa Voyager, GE Optima 750w, Philips Ingenia, Siemens Aera, Siemens Skyra and Canon Vantage Galan 3T models. In other words, it provides high imaging quality and performance with fast scans and advanced capabilities for the most complex and demanding imaging needs such as neuroimaging, research and advanced clinical applications.
