Designed for clinical impact and institutional performance
The iMRI Suite is built to function as a high-utilisation imaging and interventional platform, not a single-purpose room.
By enabling both diagnostic and interventional use within one environment, institutions gain a 24/7 asset that supports multiple service lines.
What matters to your organisation:
- Reimbursement: aligned with EU DRG frameworks
- Most MRI-guided procedures fall under existing national groupings for diagnostic cardiac MRI or MRI-guided therapeutic interventions (subject to appropriate medical-necessity documentation).
- Coverage requirements differ across countries; Cook Medical’s health-economics team tracks policy developments throughout Europe and can share country-specific insights on request.
- Capital and operating economics that compare with CT scan rooms
- Suite build-out costs are generally in line with a CT scan room—without the expense of lead shielding for ionising radiation.
- Similar reimbursement economics apply to CT and MRI-guided therapies.
- Operational efficiency for supply chains and facilities
- Flexible scheduling allows the room to maintain near-constant use, maximising asset utilisation and lowering cost per case.
- One magnet, multiple revenue streams: Do interventional MRI cases by day and diagnostic cases on demand, 24/7.
- Physician and staff guidance
- Dedicated implementation specialists guide suite design, workflow mapping, and staff training.
- On-site and virtual education modules help clinicians transition from current image-guided practice into MRI-guided intervention.
- Ongoing clinical-support visits and technical assistance keep your programme running smoothly.
- Regulatory compliance and quality assurance
- Cook Medical’s iMRI devices will carry the CE mark and be fully compliant with Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR).
- Comprehensive documentation supports hospital audits, HTA submissions, and procurement tenders.
- Patient experience
- MRI guidance avoids ionising radiation, aligning with ALARA principles and improving patient confidence.
- Quiet-suite options and wide-bore magnets can enhance comfort for paediatric, bariatric, or claustrophobic patients.
