Healthcare systems around the world are under increasing pressure to reduce their environmental footprint without compromising access to care, quality, or patient safety.

One often overlooked opportunity is the refurbishment of imaging systems. By giving imaging systems a second life, healthcare providers can help preserve resources while continuing to deliver clinical performance.

• What motivated radiologist Prof. Dr. Scharinger decide on a refurbished CT system

• Why sustainability and excellent patient care can go hand in hand
