Remote MRI Scanning Can Help Address Staff Shortages
Our company is transforming MRI imaging operations with the first high-fidelity, all-in-one remote solution for acquiring MRI images. Through cutting-edge tele-acquisition technology, our Virtual Remote Technologists™ (VRTs) seamlessly connect to any MRI unit, providing complete operational capabilities without needing on-site technologists.
As the radiology industry faces a severe shortage of MRI technologists, hospitals and imaging centers struggle to meet the growing demand for MRI exams. This shortage has led to longer patient wait times, reduced scanning capacity, and operational inefficiencies. We provide an innovative solution, enabling facilities to maintain imaging volume and ensure timely diagnostic services.
Bridging the MRI Labor Gap with Remote Scanning
Since COVID-19, imaging centers and hospitals in urban regions have experienced a shift in patient volume, with many patients opting for regional MRI appointments, leading to an imbalance in the labor-to-exam ratio. This uneven distribution of resources makes staffing challenges even more difficult to manage. We eliminate these bottlenecks by offering on-demand MRI scanning coverage to any location, ensuring facilities—regardless of size or region—can operate at full capacity without staffing interruptions.
Virtual Remote Technologists™ (VRTs): The Gold Standard in Remote MRI Scanning
Great MRI images start with the best technologists. Our Virtual Remote Technologists™ (VRTs) are among the industry’s elite—only ARRT-certified MRI technologists with extensive experience qualify to work for us.
To ensure top-tier performance, every VRT undergoes:
- A custom entry exam and rigorous selection process to verify their expertise.
- A 10-week immersive training program focused on remote scanning techniques and Remote Operations Command Center (ROCC) systems.
- A supervised scanning block before receiving their VRT certification.
This meticulous vetting process guarantees that every We technologist ranks among the nation’s best, ensuring exceptional image quality, patient safety, and scanning efficiency.
How VRTs Improve Imaging Center Operations
By integrating our VRTs, imaging centers can experience substantial operational and financial benefits, including:
- Eliminating staffing risks – Say goodbye to call-outs, last-minute cancellations, and technician shortages.
- Reducing repeat scans – VRTs ensure high-quality imaging on the first attempt.
- Minimizing scheduling delays – Keep patient appointments on track and optimized.
- Cutting administrative overhead – Streamline workforce management by removing scheduling complexities.
- Converting fixed labor costs into a variable model – Pay only for the scans performed.
- Lowering the cost per scan – Achieve a more cost-effective imaging workflow.
Technology-Driven MRI Staffing Solutions
The future of MRI staffing lies in remote scanning technology, and we are leading the way. As technology advances, our model provides a scalable, cost-efficient, and high-quality alternative to traditional MRI staffing. Imagine only paying for an MRI technologist when they are actively scanning. Imaging providers can optimize labor expenses, maintain high standards of patient care, and enhance profitability without compromising quality.
