Every year, veterinary practices are getting more and more sophisticated, embracing technology
developed for human patients for use with their patients in the Animal Kingdom.While it’s exciting to have access to digital radiography equipment, you also want to be sure you’re buying the right medical imaging equipment and not spending money you don’t have to. The experts at Atlantis Worldwide put together this list of tips to help you determine the right digital radiography equipment for your practice or facility.
Evaluate Your Needs Carefully
All digital radiography equipment is not created equally—and doesn’t work equally well in every medical office. You’ll want to evaluate your specific needs and then talk to an expert to determine which system is best for the demands of your veterinary practice.
Understand Pricing And What You’re Paying For
The cost of digital radiography equipment can be shocking. Oftentimes veterinary practitioners may decide to purchase a system for a lower upfront price, only to be surprised by what it doesn’t provide—like a beefy service warranty or even the features and functions you need. Take a close look at the full cost of ownership. Don’t just talk to the salesperson—talk to an expert to help you understand the pricing, features, performance and service contract.
Think Long Term Solutions, Not Short Term
You want to examine the full cost of ownership over the life of the product—not just buying something to help you just get by. However, refurbished or used digital radiography equipment can deliver the performance and service contract you want, at a much lower price than buying new. Atlantis Worldwide has been helping healthcare professionals and veterinarians find high quality solutions that won’t break the bank for more than 30 years.
Make Sure Your New Equipment Can Be Integrated
The last thing you want to do is buy digital radiology equipment that can’t be connected to or integrated with your existing systems and technology. Again, that’s why it’s important to talk with an expert like Atlantis Worldwide that understands the ins and outs of digital imaging equipment and can help you make a wise (and affordable) decision.
