Replacing the oldest medical imaging equipment first may seem logical—but age alone does not tell the full story. This presentation explores why traditional age-based replacement strategies can result in poorly prioritized capital investments and introduces a risk-based approach to Big Iron replacement planning. Attendees will learn how to evaluate clinical, operational, financial, technology, and equipment-condition factors to identify which systems truly represent the greatest replacement priority. The result is a more objective, defensible, and strategic approach to allocating limited capital resources.
