Every hospital and imaging center we work with has one, as system thats been replaced, upgraded, or simply retired to a back room or hallway. It's not running, its not generating revenue, and most facilities treat it as a problem to eventually deal with rather than an asset with real value. Thats the wront way to look at it.
Idle Equipment still has real value
A decommissioned CT, MR, Ultrasound, Cath Lab, or any other piece of imaging equipment doest stop having value just because its no longer in clinical use. There is real recoverable value sitting in that equipment room.
The mistake many facilites make is assuming the only path forward is an OEM trade in and taking whatever number the OEM offers as the highest and best offer.
We typically beat OEM trade in values
Allegiant Imaging makes real cash offers on systems you have available, and in most cases those offers land higher than what an OEM or equipment broker will offer you. OEM trade in programs are structured to move you towards a new sale and not to maximize what you get for the equipment you're trading in. We are not selling you a new system so our offer represents the true value of the equipment in the open market.
If you're already planning an upgrade, its worth getting a second number before you accept the trade in credit on the table.
Removal without the headache
The other reason facilities let old systems sit is the hassle factor. They have had brokers in the past not come through or cause headaches and disruptions in their day to day activities. Nobody wants to deal with these issues. Allegiant Imaging Partners is built for this. Over the years the principals have purchased and coordinated the removal of over 500 CT and MRI system with very few issues. We are even a trusted partner of many OEM's to complete removals of their systems.
If you work with Allegiant Imaging you will have a single point of contact from start to finish. They will handle de-installation, rigging, and any removal logistics from start to finish. That means:
- No disruption to your active clinical space or workflow
- No juggling multiple vendors or subcontractors
- No surprises mid-project — you get a clear scope and timeline up front
- A proven track record of clean, on-schedule removals across CT, MRI, and ultrasound equipment
We have done this enough times to know where projects usually go wrong and we plan around those points before they become your problem.
What this looks like
If you have a system sitting idle, the process starts with a conversation. We need to know the following information:
- OEM and Model
- Date of Manufacture
- Condition
- Specific details based on modality that will be discussed
- Location and any egress issues
- Your timeline
There is no cost to find out what your equipment is worth. The only real cost is leaving it in the back room for another year.
