Buying a mobile imaging scanner can make sense for several strategic, operational, and financial reasons:
1. Long-Term Cost Savings
If you plan to use the scanner for an extended period (typically more than 12–18 months), purchasing may be more cost-effective.
2. Consistent Availability
Owning ensures the scanner is always available when and where you need it—no waiting for availability or dealing with scheduling conflicts during peak times.
3. Control Over Customization & Workflow
Ownership allows you to customize the unit to match your clinical and branding needs, including system layout, imaging protocols, IT integration, and even exterior wrap/logo.
4. Asset Ownership & Depreciation
A purchased unit becomes a fixed asset that can be depreciated for tax benefits. It can also add value to your balance sheet and be resold later if needed.
5. Operational Independence
You manage your uptime, schedule, and support services.
6. Strategic Growth
Buying a mobile unit can help expand your imaging service footprint—into rural areas, outpatient markets, or as a backup unit during fixed-site upgrades—giving you greater flexibility and revenue potential.
