Rethinking Imaging

How Hospitals, Clinics, and Brokers Can Do More with Less

Imaging demand is increasing every year. Budgets, however, remain tight, and lead times for new equipment aren’t improving. Across healthcare systems, providers are being asked to deliver more, often while relying on a replacement model that ties up capital, delays capacity, and increases dependency on supply chains.

But that model is no longer the only option.

Other capital-heavy industries have already adopted lifecycle-based models - where refurbishment, redeployment, and certified pre-owned assets are standard practice. Imaging is now catching up.

Lifecycle analysis of MRI systems shows that circular approaches can deliver:

• Up to 21% lower total cost of ownership
• Up to 92% reduction in material use
• Up to 37% lower CO₂ emissions

But the real value isn't just environmental - it's operational. You don't need to wait to increase capacity.

Unlocking Value Across the Full Lifecycle with Agito Medical

At Agito Medical, we work with hospitals, clinics, and brokers to maximise the value of existing imaging assets.:

• Buyback of existing systems: Release capital at the point of replacement rather than letting assets depreciate to zero
• Refurbisment: Extend the usable life of systems with proven performance
• Redeployment into new settings: Deploy refurbished systems quickly - whether fixed installations or relocatable solutions

How you fund and operate your imaging service plays a key role in its long-term performance. That’s why we offer flexible delivery models tailored to your needs.

You can choose to purchase a system for full ownership and control, or lease a scanner to reduce upfront costs and better align expenses with activity. Across both options, maintenance can be included to ensure reliable performance and predictable costs.

This flexibility makes it easier to create a solution that works - both financially and operationally.

“This goes beyond sustainability. It’s about changing how capacity is delivered - enabling faster access to imaging, lowering the cost per scan, reducing capital exposure, and limiting reliance on constrained supply chains. For hospitals and clinics, this isn’t just about doing more with less. It’s about operating differently, with greater flexibility and control over both cost and capacity - without compromise.” - Bjoern Gerhardt, Technical Operations Director, Agito Medical.
