Then, later on, you won’t have to ask yourself, WHY? 

We know what’s it’s like.  Your healthcare facility, clinic or practice needs a new C-arm.  And everyone has an opinion.  This bright, new shiny toy that just came out.   Look at this brand.  Don’t spend too much.  Make sure you get the right size.  Maybe we can’t afford one. We’re sure we can’t afford not to. Where are you going to buy it?  Talk to my cousin, he can get you one. 

Everyone understands that most diagnostic imaging systems are a long-term investment. The inevitable “big” question is, “When is it time to purchase newer equipment versus making do with perfectly functional existing technology?”  It’s a challenge that faces most purchasing departments, clinic and hospital administrators, physicians and office managers—and it’s where Atlantis Worldwide can step in and help make a decision easier.  No, we don’t have a crystal ball that allows us to gaze into the future and determine your best course of action.  But we DO have more than 20 years of experience in buying and selling imaging equipment, so we understand the market and can help our customers identify the best equipment solutions for their budgets and needs.

When you involve the Atlantis Worldwide team in the decision making process, we will work with you to gather pertinent information that will enable you to make a more informed decision.  We’ll compile review a wide range of data:  what are the comparative costs of installation?  Can your existing system be upgraded easily, or is it easy to remove and replace the equipment?  What is the turnover timing?  How has your market changed and what are the current needs of your patients, physicians and community?   What is the current and ideal workflow?  How does equipment depreciation factor in?  How will the impending changes to Medicare and the insurance industry impact your business?  What are the cost differences in servicing new systems versus upgrading existing ones?  By answering these and other questions, oftentimes it illuminates the perfect solution for your diagnostic imaging needs.
