Can you guess the price of a brand new ultrasound machine? If you are looking for one for your own clinic, you might have figured out that this specialized medical imaging equipment, on average, cost anywhere from $30,000 to $40,000! Hospitals and clinics rely on important imaging equipment every day to diagnose and treat their patients. However, when just one machine costs several thousand dollars, you can imagine how ridiculously high the bills may get. There is a solution though! It is time to look into used medical imaging equipment!
There are several types of imaging equipment out on the market today. Resonance imaging, as used in medical resonance imaging machines (MRI), uses polarized magnets to excite hydrogen atoms in the body's tissue. These excited nuclei are what the machine uses to create a map of inside the human body. Ultrasounds, on the other hand, use sound waves to create an image. The sound waves are sent out and the machine measures the speed at which the waves bounce back, forming an image from these measurements. Other machines combine the use x-ray, magnetic, and sound wave technology to make an image of the body.
Each machine has a specialty and, as a result, it would be impossible for every physician to learn how to operate and read every machine while in medical school. The world of medical imaging has become so large and complex that a new medical specialty has been created in order to keep up with these advancements. Radiologists are individuals with medical degrees who have focused their study on learning how to operate and read this medical equipment. This field is one of the fastest growing ones in medicine because technology advances everyday, and every hospital and clinic needs one or more radiologists on hand to operate these important machines.
