The purpose of this work was a cost analysis for the acquisition of two new MRI devices in a university hospital. The costs of a classical exchange (new purchase) were compared to those of a system upgrade. Taking the local circumstances into account, up to $121,000 could be saved with. the system upgrade for one MRI system compared to a classic exchange. Upgrades of the 1.5 and 3 Tesla systems were performed within 15 working days without any problems or restrictions. The number of examinations per day could be increased from 13.4 to 16.2 using the 1.5T system and from 14.1 to 15.9 using the 3T. The upgrade possibility of an old MRI device represents an economically attractive approach, which allows access to the latest state-of-the-art MRI technology while respecting the limited economic resources of the department.
