When we think about the quality of a medical image—whether it’s an MRI, CT, or X-ray—we usually focus on the equipment. But there’s something more basic that plays a big role in image clarity: power.
Specifically, clean, stable power.
Most imaging systems are incredibly sensitive. A brief voltage dip, surge, or power interruption—sometimes too fast to notice—can cause images to blur, machines to restart, or scans to fail. And in regions like Latin America, where power fluctuations are more common, this isn’t hypothetical.
It’s happening every day.
Many clinics rely on generators or surge protectors to help during outages. But those don’t fix the everyday power instability that can quietly wear down imaging equipment or interrupt scans.
That’s why more radiology teams are looking at uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems—not just as backup, but as a way to ensure consistency and confidence in their scans.
A double-conversion UPS helps by:
If your team has ever lost a scan—or had to reboot in the middle of a patient session—it might be time to take a closer look at the power behind your imaging.
Curious if power issues could be affecting your imaging quality?
Let’s talk. We’re happy to share what we’ve seen across LATAM—and how hospitals are solving it.
