The Gross Grönau radiology clinic at the University of Lubeck demonstrated such a progressive approach by purchasing an Diamond Select Advance* MRI system and, in doing so, set itself apart from other clinics.

As part of the Diamond Select Advance program, pre-owned components are given a second life. The department's system includes a fully refurbished 3000 kilo magnet certified for serviceability of at least 10 years. It is also fully upgradeable and can deliver a 50% reduction in energy consumptions vs. comparable systems.

Philips was able to offer an attractive alternative: we were able to get a state-of-the-art machine with premium performance at a price that did not exceed our budget.
