WEBINAR AGENDA: This 60-minute webinar will examine the total cost of ownership of ultrasound imaging equipment, specifically the GE Healthcare Logiq 9, and compare the costs and benefits of comprehensive service contracts compared to hourly billed service (T&M). Attendees will learn how to quantify the financial risk involved without a service contract.
