Effective June 1, the new agreement allows Premier members, at their discretion, to take advantage of special pricing and terms pre-negotiated by Premier for the O-scan Dedicated extremity MRI system.
The Esaote O-scan series is completely cryogen-free and engineered to operate as a standalone unit or as a complement to an existing imaging suite, thereby providing increased throughput to help mitigate the scheduling challenges and patient backlogs impacting radiology departments today.
