MRI system lifespan is a globally relevant topic. In some countries, lifetimes reach 14 years [1], whereas COCIR recommends that less than 10% be older than 10 years [2]. About 28% of European MRI systems surpass this age [2]. Hospital Nuestra Senora del Rosario in Madrid faced issues due to an aging system. A Philips SmartPath upgrade improved image quality and scanning speed sustainably and cost-effectively, avoiding full replacement and overcoming financial and operational hurdles to ensure quality patient care.
