CT scan vs MRI scan - what are the differences?

Many people are confused with the differences between CT scans and MRI scans and what they are used to diagnose.  The Global Oncology Health Network would like to give a quick explanation of both of these useful diagnostic tools.

CT and MRI scans defined


A CT Scan (or CAT Scan) is best suited for viewing bone injuries, diagnosing lung and chest problems, and detecting cancers. An MRI is suited for examining soft tissue in ligament and tendon injuries, spinal cord injuries, brain tumors, other cancers, etc. CT scans are widely used in emergency rooms because the scan takes fewer than 5 minutes. An MRI, on the other hand, can take up to 30 minutes.

An MRI typically costs more than a CT scan. One advantage of an MRI is that it does not use radiation while CAT scans do. This radiation is harmful if there is repeated exposure.

10 steps in the deinstall or reinstall process

If you are in the process of deinstalling or reinstalling medical equipment in your healthcare facility, prior planning can reduce the time and cost!  The Global Oncology Health Network would like to pass along our experience in this complicated process with some tips to help you.

The 10 steps to the deinstallation and reinstallation process:



1.  Be sure to select a company with a proven track record of success. Get three references and call them, see how well the project went with them. Were they 100% satisfied, on budget and made the deadline you set up?

2.  Give the vendor a laundry list on the equipment make, model and condition. Is it being recycled for scrap or will it be delivered and installed in other facilities. If its scrap, just make sure they follow FDA guidelines in disposal of the elements. If being crated and installed, than get quotes on de-installing, crating, shipping and installed at new facility. Turnkey is what most clinics or hospitals look for.


3.  Make sure the hospital is protected from liability in case of an accident. Typically, the hospital is named as an added insured. Up to 2 million in liability is standard.

4.  It’s very important to assign a project manager, who will follow the project and implement, purchase orders, project assistance with electrician and maintenance. Your staff doesn't like surprises when the de-install crew is there and needs power locked out, or water shut off.  Also have security aware of their arrival and have badges ready. The director of the department and staff needs to be informed of the activity in clinic and how you will interact with them and the safety of patient and staff looked after.

5.  Lock out the power and water if applicable and begin de-installing in the room. The vendor should keep noise to a minimum and not be running back and forth during business hours.

6.  A sticky mat at the door will help eliminate dust and debris from getting in the halls. Don’t let the vendor torch anything, unless a fire permit is given. If smoke is involved or excessive dust accruing, a Hepa filter with a charcoal filter will help with odor and air quality.


7.  Have an exit route outlined for the removal of the elements through hallway to dock. Protect the floor with Masonite, if rolling equipment over 1000 lbs or more, to protect floor tiles. Always be sure to remove most items after busy or business hours, for a safe departure.

8.  A staging area is recommended, if the elements can’t be loaded right away. Usually loading is not a problem at night or early mornings before or after main hospital deliveries. Please check with the dock supervisor on his schedule and your project removal dates vendor is recommending.

9.  When the vendor is planning on loading, please have the dock supervisor remove any unnecessary equipment or containers on dock, so they have plenty of room to move around safely.


10.  Sweep the room of any screws, nuts or dust left behind. After you’re ready to roll, ask the project manager if he or she is 100% happy with your job. This is important to you, as well as the vendor, as he is only known by his last successful job.

As hospitals continue to add wings to their facilities and make the transition from analog to digital equipment, there is a greater need for The Global Oncology Health Network, than ever before.

We deinstall for competitive rates, with a 24/7 response time, without interruption of staff or patient. Our network of hospitals and clinics keep us very competitive, when your looking to sell or buy a system from us.

Mini Hospitals - saving lives in the field

A mini hospital  is a basic health-care facility capable of proving urgent care, diagnostic services, and health education in poor countries, as well as a referral component once a critical patient is sufficiently stabilized to be transferred to an appropriate hospital in a large city.


A Turn-Key project!


A mini hospital is a turn-key project that provides the construction, the medical equipment, and the training of paramedic personnel with the assistance of qualified professionals to the point of occupancy and operation.

It can be a do-it yourself prefabricated construction system  that is easy to transport and assemble quickly with little to no training, using ordinary hand tools, to erect an inexpensive structural rigid frame composed of columns and light-weight panels capable of meeting the most demanding requirements of hurricane and seismic codes.

Equipment for a Mini Hospital


A mini hospital can have both new and used medical equipment, often donated  by hospitals or doctors that replace suitable equipment with more advanced technology equipment and also enjoy the tax benefits with such donations.

Helping underdeveloped countries around the world


Mini hospitals can provide health care facilities and even housing for the world's  underdeveloped and poorest countries that normally would not have the resources for larger health-care facilities.  An added feature is that these benefits are provided through donations from wealth donors and philanthropists that want to help those in need!

Let The Global Oncology Health Network help you with your Mini Hospital equipment needs!

Medical Equipment De-Installs & Installations without interruption of patient or staff!

The Global Oncology Health Network has been in the business of deinstalling and reinstalling all imaging modalities of medical equipment, for more than twenty years. Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners, Linear Accelerators, Simulators and Rad rooms.

How we started

In 1995 we began the journey in the De-Installation, crating and transportation service. We have been servicing clients nationally and internationally. Working with clinics like St Louis University Hospital, Tenet, HMA, Clarian Health, The Doctors Hospital Nationally, to name a few. In addition, internationally servicing clients in China, Russia and South America.

The greatest challenge of all, however, is not with the systems being de-installed, but with the coordination and communications with hospital staff. The real key is to remove equipment without disturbing the patients or staff. Aside from keeping the noise level at a minimum, the process requires adequate ventilation, cleanliness and safe removal from facility to dock. It has to be like you’re not even there.

Here are a couple videos of us in action deinstalling an MRI in Hudson Florida.

We deinstall for competitive rates, with a 24/7 response time, without interruption of staff or patient. Our network of hospitals and clinics keep us very competitive, when your looking to sell or buy a system from us.
