Cost-Effective Solutions for Diagnostic Imaging
Used MRI Machine
Choosing the right MRI system is key to improving diagnostics and managing long-term costs. Since 2004, Agito Medical has helped healthcare providers across Europe find high-quality, cost-effective used MRI solutions. With a large inventory of used and refurbished equipment we ensure fast delivery and reliable support.
Understanding MRI machine technology
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines use powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of internal organs and tissues, enabling non-invasive diagnosis of conditions from sports injuries to neurological disorders.
Today's MRI scanners come in various configurations. Field strengths range from 0.35T and 0.45T for basic imaging, through 0.55T and 1T for general work, up to 1.5T and 3T for advanced applications. You will also find open MRI designs for claustrophobic patients and mobile units for space-constrained facilities.

How Much Does an MRI Machine Cost?
When you are looking at MRI machines for sale, pricing varies based on field strength, age, manufacturer, and included accessories. Used MRI equipment for sale and refurbished MRI machines are generally priced between €150,000 and €600,000, offering substantial savings compared to new systems.
The price of an MRI machine from manufacturers like GE, Siemens, and Philips depends on software capabilities, bore size, included coils, and other medical equipment parts. When you buy an MRI machine from Agito Medical, you get thoroughly tested equipment that performs like new at a fraction of the cost.
Additional Costs to Consider
Beyond the purchase price, consider these ongoing expenses when evaluating total cost of ownership:
- Site preparation and installation
- Annual maintenance contracts
- Helium refills for superconducting magnets
- Staff training and certification
- Compliance and safety upgrades
Choosing the Right MRI Machine for Your Facility
Investing in an MRI machine is a major decision with long-term implications for both diagnostic performance and your facility’s budget. Finding the right system means balancing clinical requirements, patient needs, and operational realities. To make the best decision, it’s essential to consider both your internal requirements and the differences between new and refurbished equipment.
Assessing your clinical and operational needs
Before deciding on a system, consider how the MRI machine will fit into your daily workflow, patient base, and clinical environment:
- High-volume facilities may need robust, high-performance machines, while smaller clinics often manage with simpler, lower-cost systems.
- For specialized imaging such as cardiology or neurology, 3T systems offer enhanced detail, whereas 1.5T scanners typically meet overall diagnostic needs.
- If space is limited or equipment must serve multiple sites, mobile MRI units provide valuable flexibility.
- For pediatric or claustrophobic patients, open or wide-bore MRI systems can significantly improve comfort and compliance.
New vs. refurbished MRI systems
Both new and refurbished MRI machines offer advantages, and your choice will depend on clinical goals, timeline, and budget.
New MRI machines provide:
- The latest technology and advanced software
- Full manufacturer warranties
- Longer expected lifespan
- First-owner assurance
Refurbished MRI machines offer:
- Significant cost savings (30–50% less)
- Faster availability
- Proven performance with real-world track records
- Greater sustainability through extended equipment use
Key specifications to consider
When comparing available systems, focus on these core technical features:
- Field Strength – 1.5T for general imaging and 3T for detailed, specialized scans
- Bore Size – 60cm standard or 70cm wide-bore for improved patient comfort
- Gradient Strength – Affects scan speed and resolution
- Software Packages – Ensure compatibility with your diagnostic workflows
- Coil Selection – Verify the system includes coils for your clinical focus to avoid extra costs
At Agito Medical, all refurbished MRI machines undergo rigorous testing, repairs, software updates, and cosmetic restoration to meet original manufacturer standards. For facilities on a tighter budget, combining used medical equipment with medical equipment rental options can offer a flexible, high-performance solution.
Used MRI Machine Financing and Purchase Options
Buying vs. renting
Many facilities find that purchasing used MRI equipment outright offers the best value, especially when working with experienced suppliers who provide quality refurbished systems. However, renting can make sense for facilities with capital constraints or those wanting to upgrade more frequently.
Rental options
Sometimes rental makes more sense than purchasing. Consider MRI rental when you need temporary capacity during equipment maintenance, want to evaluate technology before buying, or face seasonal volume fluctuations.
Our imaging solutions fleet includes mobile and relocatable MRI units available for short or long-term rental, helping you maintain service continuity without major capital investment.
Installation and Ongoing Support
Site Preparation
MRI installation requires specialised preparation. Your facility needs magnetic and RF shielding, structural reinforcement, and dedicated utilities including electrical connections, cooling systems, and helium supply infrastructure.
Most suppliers include basic operator training with delivery. Additional certification programmes help your technologists get the most from your investment.
Quality Parts for Long-Term Performance
Agito Medical supplies high-quality medical imaging parts that keep MRI systems running reliably. Our inventory includes RF coils, gradient amplifiers, coldheads, power supplies, and critical components from all major manufacturers including GE, Siemens, and Philips.
Your maintenance team relies on fast access to reliable parts to maintain system performance. By providing quality-tested components at competitive prices, we support effective maintenance programmes and help you extend equipment lifespan.
Strategic parts availability is essential for lifecycle management. With proper maintenance using quality components, most MRI systems deliver 10-15 years of reliable service.
