From electrical capacity and structural requirements to HVAC, radiation shielding, regulatory approvals, staffing, and future expansion, they highlight the often-overlooked considerations that can impact installation timelines and costs—and why involving an experienced CT vendor early in the facility planning process can help practices avoid costly surprises.
