MRI Systems in Mozambique
Available MRI Systems Models

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems are sophisticated diagnostic tools that utilize powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed, cross-sectional images of the body's internal structures. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRI does not employ ionizing radiation, making it a safe and valuable option for repeated examinations. The technology works by aligning the body's water molecules with a strong magnetic field. Radiofrequency pulses are then applied, which temporarily knock these aligned molecules out of equilibrium. As they realign with the magnetic field, they emit signals that are detected by the MRI scanner. These signals are then processed by a computer to create highly detailed anatomical images, differentiating between various tissues like muscle, fat, bone, and fluid with exceptional clarity.

The primary function of an MRI system is non-invasive visualization of soft tissues, which are often difficult to assess with other imaging modalities. This capability makes it indispensable for diagnosing and monitoring a wide range of medical conditions.

The demand for advanced diagnostic imaging capabilities like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is growing across Mozambique. Several key healthcare facility types and specific departments stand to benefit significantly from the acquisition and implementation of MRI systems. These sophisticated tools are crucial for accurate diagnosis, effective treatment planning, and improved patient outcomes in a range of complex medical cases.

Site Preparation

Before your MRI system arrives, meticulous site preparation is crucial. This involves assessing and preparing the designated room to meet the stringent requirements of MRI technology. Our pre-installation consultation will guide you through essential aspects such as:

• Room Dimensions and Layout: Ensuring adequate space for the scanner, control room, and patient access, adhering to manufacturer specifications.

• Structural Integrity: Verifying the floor load capacity to support the significant weight of the MRI magnet.

• Shielding Requirements: Implementing appropriate RF (radiofrequency) and magnetic shielding to prevent external interference and ensure image quality, and to contain the magnetic field.

• Power Supply: Establishing a dedicated, stable, and robust power source with adequate amperage and surge protection.

• Cooling Systems: Integrating specialized HVAC systems to maintain optimal operating temperatures for the magnet and associated electronics.

• Ventilation: Ensuring proper air exchange for the comfort of patients and staff, and for the longevity of the equipment.

• Access Routes: Planning safe and clear pathways for the delivery and maneuvering of the MRI magnet and other components.

Delivery And Unpacking

We utilize specialized transport and handling equipment to ensure the integrity of all components during transit. Upon arrival, our technicians will carefully unpack and inspect each part, verifying that everything is present and undamaged.

Installation Steps

The installation of an MRI system is a complex, multi-stage process managed by our certified engineers:

• Magnet Installation: This is a critical step involving the precise positioning and securing of the superconducting magnet. Specialized lifting equipment and extreme care are employed.

• Coil and Gradient System Integration: The gradient coils, responsible for spatial encoding, and radiofrequency coils, for signal reception, are meticulously installed and connected.

• Console and Workstation Setup: The operator console and image acquisition workstations are installed and configured in the control room.

• System Interconnections: All electrical, cooling, and data connections are made between the magnet, console, and other subsystems.

• Software Installation and Configuration: The operating software and imaging protocols are installed and customized to your clinical needs.

Calibration And Testing

Once the physical installation is complete, a rigorous calibration and testing phase begins to ensure optimal performance and diagnostic accuracy:

• Magnetic Field Homogeneity Measurement: Verifying the uniformity of the magnetic field across the imaging volume.

• Gradient System Performance Testing: Assessing the linearity and accuracy of the gradient coils.

• RF System Calibration: Tuning the radiofrequency system for optimal signal reception.

• Image Quality Assessment: Performing phantom scans and test images to evaluate spatial resolution, contrast, and signal-to-noise ratio.

• Safety System Checks: Thoroughly testing all safety features, including emergency stop mechanisms and quench detection systems.

• User Training: Providing comprehensive training to your radiographers and clinical staff on system operation, image acquisition, and basic maintenance.

Our comprehensive installation process, from initial site assessment to final calibration and staff training, is designed to deliver a fully operational and reliable MRI system, empowering your healthcare facility in Mozambique to provide advanced diagnostic imaging services.

Understanding the investment required for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems in Mozambique involves considering various factors, most notably whether you are looking at new or refurbished equipment. While precise figures can fluctuate based on specific makes, models, technological advancements, and supplier negotiations, we can provide realistic price ranges in the local currency, the Mozambican Metical (MZN).

For brand-new MRI systems, particularly those offering advanced features, higher field strengths (e.g., 1.5T or 3T), and the latest imaging capabilities, the investment is significant. You can expect prices to range broadly from approximately 15,000,000 MZN to well over 50,000,000 MZN. This range accounts for variations in vendor packages, installation, training, and initial service agreements.

Refurbished MRI systems offer a more accessible entry point for many healthcare facilities in Mozambique. These systems, often from reputable manufacturers and meticulously restored to full operational capacity, represent a substantial cost saving. Prices for quality refurbished MRI systems typically fall between 5,000,000 MZN and 20,000,000 MZN. The lower end of this spectrum might include older models or systems with fewer advanced functionalities, while the higher end would encompass more recent refurbished units with excellent performance and a good warranty.

It's crucial to remember that these figures are estimates. Factors such as the chosen magnet strength (e.g., 0.5T, 1.5T, 3T), the manufacturer, specific software packages, warranty provisions, and ongoing service contracts will all influence the final price. We strongly recommend obtaining detailed quotes from multiple reputable suppliers to get the most accurate and tailored pricing for your specific needs in Mozambique.
