Sometimes expanded facilities are needed during construction on a current facility or when existing equipment is being replaced.  Other clinics, practices or hospitals need to offer or expand their imaging services, but lack the capital or available space to do so within the walls of the facility.  In all of these situations, a mobile or modular environment can be a great solution.  (And even better while utilizing a [used or refurbished MRI](https://www.atlantisworldwide.com/product_category/mri-machines/) or [CT Scan](https://www.atlantisworldwide.com/product_category/ct-scanners/), but we’ll get to that later.)
