Imaging Equipment Service & Repair

Imaging equipment service engineers repair and maintain radiology and imaging equipment including X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, and mammography systems.

With imaging equipment critical and expensive ($100,000-$3,000,000 per system), service providers generate revenue of $180,000-$600,000 annually with profit margins of 40-55% through service contracts and repairs.

The business requires specialized imaging equipment training, manufacturer certifications, diagnostic tools and test equipment, spare parts, and often multiple technicians.

Services include preventive maintenance, equipment repair, imaging quality testing, safety inspections, and tube replacements.

Service contracts typically $20,000-$200,000 annually depending on equipment.

Success factors include manufacturer OEM training and certification, imaging technology expertise, parts access and logistics, fast response for critical downtime, and strong facility relationships.

Most technicians specialize in modalities (CT, MRI, X-ray) due to complexity.

The business often requires partnering with manufacturers or becoming authorized service provider.

Facilities choose between manufacturer service and independent service organizations.

Marketing focuses on hospitals, imaging centers, and demonstrating technical expertise and cost savings versus OEM service.

With imaging equipment essential for diagnosis and facilities seeking service alternatives in 2025, imaging service offers highly technical opportunities for engineers with manufacturer training providing specialized maintenance keeping expensive imaging systems operational.
