Managing the Complex Details Behind Every Imaging Installation
Launching or expanding an imaging service is far more involved than simply placing a PET-CT, CT, or MRI unit in a room. Facilities must navigate regulatory requirements, site planning, construction, logistics, installation, calibration, and go-live coordination with multiple vendors.
Captive Radiology delivers end-to-end imaging equipment project management so your team doesn’t have to shoulder that burden alone. From architectural planning through final acceptance, our experts orchestrate every detail to ensure your imaging equipment is installed correctly, efficiently, and safely.
The Challenge: Imaging Projects Are Complex and Risky Without Expert Oversight
Installing new medical imaging equipment or upgrading existing systems requires specialized knowledge and tight coordination across vendors, facility teams, and compliance stakeholders. Without dedicated radiology project management, practices often experience:
- Construction delays and unexpected costs
- Rooms that fail equipment, HVAC, radiation, or electrical requirements
- Misaligned timelines across manufacturers, contractors, and clinical teams
- Inefficient workflows caused by poor planning
- Lost revenue when go-live dates slide
Many facilities ask, “Who provides site planning and facility setup for installing imaging systems?”
The answer is Captive Radiology.
We take full ownership of your project so your team stays focused on patient care, not construction meetings.
