Dear OCADers,
I have a question which is not really a case presentation.
One of our 2 MRIs is an 8-years old 1.5 T MRI GE.
The representatives propose us to make a complete upgrade which would grant
us a nearly new machine, instead of changing MRI. According to them, it is
actually a better, and obviously a much less expensive solution, with the
end-of-life expected for the magnet around 20-25 years.
Does it correspond to your experience?
Thank you for your answers

an incredible success.
We had a 1.5T Siemens Symphony that we used for 22 years including MAJOR
hardware and software upgrades.
We actually published an example of the difference it made.
