Just to clarify, will the technologists at VA Tucson be performing procedures on the mobile MRI and CT?

If so, you will require applications training. We suggest that you train your 3 best qualified technologists on each modality. We also suggest that the apps trainer spend three days on the first visit and an additional two days approximately two weeks later to answer any technologists questions and do more complex training.

• “The technologists at VA Tucson will be performing procedures on the MRI and CT. Applications would only be required if equipment is not Siemens.”


• In this case, if the contractor will be offering an equal to item then their offer should include any additional training or application information that may be required for their offered equipment.
