I would like to open an MRI center, I don't have that much background on the business of MRI.
Can you please tell me what would be the steps toward opening an MRI center?
What would be the resources available?
How many staffs needed?
How much capital needed?
I appreciate for any help.

Regards,

All I know is that you need the right equipment. If you plan on making it big (which you most likely will) then get a lot of staff.

Hi, I work for a company that provides assistance to Radiologist who are interesting in establising new or upgrade existing centers.

We provide legal, financial and management services aimed at starting or maintaining a Radiology medical center. If you are interested visit our site at http://www.dimc-mri.com, maybe we can help you.

I'm just curious. About how much capital would be required to equip an MRI center?

The cost varies when you take into consideration staffing needs both technical and clerical, equipment acquisition, marketing, real-estate ect...

Assuming you are starting from scratch, leasing a facility and financing the imaging equipment you would need somewhere between 500k to 1mil.

For a more definitive number you would obviously need to do some due deligence work to determine what expenses will contribute to your startup and operating cost.

I can go into more details but will have to charge you. LOL Very Happy
