24/7 Emergency Response
Most physicians who open a pain management practice hit the same wall early: fluoroscopy-guided injections need a working C-arm, and a new machine runs well into six figures before you have seen your first patient. Coast to Coast Radiology rents GE OEC 9900 Elite and 9800 units to pain management practices across Florida, delivered, calibrated, and set up by our own crew, so you can start doing procedures on day one instead of waiting on a capital purchase to clear.
* Delivery, setup, and retrieval included with every rental
When you call, you reach Travis or Sean directly, the two guys who own the trucks and the machines. There is no account rep, no queue, and no waiting on a callback to find out if a unit is available. If you are opening a practice, adding an injection suite, or covering for equipment that is out for service, tell us what you need and we will tell you honestly what is available and when it can be on-site.
A new GE OEC C-arm costs well over $100,000, and a used one still runs tens of thousands before you factor in service contracts. For a physician leaving hospital employment to open a practice, that is capital better spent on staff, space, and building a patient base. Renting turns a six-figure purchase decision into a monthly line item, and you can start seeing patients and generating revenue from injections immediately instead of waiting on financing to clear.
Practices in their first year rarely know their exact case volume yet. A rental lets you match equipment to real demand: a short-term rental while you build the practice, month-to-month once volume is steadier, or a longer commitment once you know the machine earns its keep every week. We work all three, and we would rather set your terms around your actual caseload than push a one-size arrangement that does not fit a new practice. That is a big part of how we operate.
Owning a C-arm means owning the maintenance calls, the service contracts, and the downtime when something breaks between scheduled visits. Renting shifts that overhead to us. If a unit needs service mid-rental, we replace it, often the same day, because we keep 10 or more machines ready to deploy at any time. You get fluoroscopy access for your injections without carrying the equipment risk.
GE OEC 9900 Elite: our top-performing unit, the model most pain management practices request for injection work. Calibrated and tested before it leaves our facility, in line with the FDA guidance for radiation-emitting imaging equipment.
GE OEC 9800: a dependable option for practices with steady, predictable procedure volume.
Delivery, setup, and retrieval by our own drivers is included with every rental. Your machine arrives ready for the first case, not waiting on a service call. For full specifications, see our full C-arm rental fleet.
Through our partnership with Precision On Call, we can coordinate a certified X-ray technologist alongside your rental if your practice does not have one on staff yet. And through Complete Fluoroscopy, any mid-rental service issue gets picked up, repaired, and swapped for a working replacement while the repair is in progress. One call to us covers all three, so you are not managing separate vendors for equipment, staffing, and repair.
Interventional pain procedures are built around live imaging. Professional bodies such as the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine and the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians treat fluoroscopic guidance as standard practice for the injections below.
Real-time fluoroscopic guidance is what makes these injections accurate: the physician sees the needle position relative to the spine and target nerve on the monitor before injecting, instead of relying on landmarks alone. This is the single most common reason a pain management practice needs a C-arm on-site rather than referring patients elsewhere for imaging.
Facet joint work and RFA both depend on precise needle placement confirmed under live imaging. A practice running these procedures regularly needs the C-arm in the room, not down the hall or across town, since positioning and confirmation happen in the same visit.
Some practices run diagnostic imaging procedures alongside their injection caseload. The same rented unit covers both, so you are not renting or buying separate fluoroscopy equipment for diagnostic versus therapeutic needs.
Once a practice has a few months of real case volume behind it, a lot of physicians ask about a longer-term arrangement instead of renewing month-to-month. We build custom rental packages, weekly, monthly, or multi-month, and pricing is negotiable for the commitment level. If you want to talk through what a longer-term rental would look like for your projected volume, that is a five-minute phone call, not a sales process.
Some practices have run the same rented unit for years because it is simply cheaper than owning once you account for service contracts, calibration, and the eventual replacement cycle. A long-term rental keeps that overhead on us instead of on your books, and you are never stuck with a machine that is aging out while a newer model does the job better.
Whether you are opening your doors for the first time or adding injection capability to an existing practice, the fastest next step is a call.
We run C-arm rentals for pain management practices across the entire state of Florida from our bases in Jupiter and Bradenton. If you are not sure whether renting makes sense for where your practice is right now, that is exactly the kind of question worth a five-minute call instead of guessing.
