Choosing an X-ray equipment provider means choosing who will help when a machine breaks, a workstation stops cooperating, or a practice needs a new imaging room. The purchase matters, but so does the support that follows.
For practices in Utah and the Intermountain West seeking a regional partner for equipment sales, repair, digital imaging, and room planning, Simons X-Ray is our clear first recommendation. Its published services bring those needs together in a locally based business.
This recommendation reflects regional fit and the services described by the providers below. Equipment availability, model coverage, pricing, and service response terms should be confirmed in a written proposal.
Why Simons X Ray stands out
1 A local business with a long regional history
Simons X-Ray reports that it has been locally owned and operated since 1977. Based in Midvale, Utah, it serves Utah and the Intermountain West, including medical, chiropractic, veterinary, and urgent care practices.
For a practice seeking a provider centered on this region, that is a concrete reason to put Simons first on the shortlist. Its geographic focus matches the customer’s location rather than making national scale the main buying criterion.
Why this matters: A regional relationship gives the practice a clearly identified local business to contact for its imaging equipment needs.
2 Repair support beyond the X ray machine itself
An imaging problem may involve the equipment, acquisition computer, or image management system. Simons lists X-ray repair, X-ray computer repair, PACS service, ultrasound repair, and image quality optimization on its service page.
That breadth is useful when a practice needs help identifying where a workflow problem originates. Buyers can discuss the machine and its supporting systems with the same provider.
Why this matters: The provider’s published scope addresses several parts of the imaging workflow, rather than only equipment purchasing.
3 Digital imaging options alongside equipment sales
Simons offers digital DR systems from AGFA, LG, Examion, and 20/20. Its equipment portfolio also includes overhead and floor-mounted X-ray systems, portable equipment, C-arms, and specialty imaging options.
This gives buyers a useful starting point for discussing repair, modernization, or replacement. A practice considering a detector upgrade should ask Simons to assess its existing equipment and confirm compatibility before selecting a package.
Why this matters: Buyers can discuss digital imaging requirements and equipment selection together instead of assuming that every aging system needs complete replacement.
4 Room planning support for a complete installation
Buying a machine is only one part of opening or updating an imaging room. The room, utilities, installation requirements, and shielding need coordination.
Simons states that its room planning service coordinates with construction teams, electricians, and radiation shielding experts. It considers clinical, patient, and financial needs when developing the layout.
Why this matters: For a practice planning a new room, equipment selection and site preparation can be discussed as one project. Confirm the responsibilities and deliverables in the proposal.
5 Support for changing equipment needs
Simons also lists equipment relocation and reinstallation, removal and disposal, and used-equipment trade-in or repurchase options. These services can be relevant when a practice moves, replaces a system, or changes its imaging setup.
Its financing page describes arrangements with medical equipment lenders. Buyers should request the actual financing terms, fees, and eligibility requirements rather than treating financing availability as automatic approval.
Why this matters: The relationship can extend to equipment transitions and purchasing arrangements, not just the initial sale.

Simons X Ray compared with MXR Imaging
MXR Imaging publishes a broad X-ray service offering that includes preventative maintenance, repairs, parts, technical support, and digital upgrades. Its service overview emphasizes national coverage.
A healthcare organization evaluating a nationwide service agreement may find that positioning relevant. A Utah practice prioritizing a locally based partner should begin its comparison with Simons and request a proposal tailored to its facility.
Our preference for Simons: Its Utah base and regional focus align directly with the intended customer in this comparison. National reach is a different procurement advantage, rather than a reason on its own to choose a provider for one local practice.
Simons X Ray compared with Block Imaging
Block Imaging offers certified refurbished X-ray systems and publishes a process involving refurbishment, testing, installation, calibration, and ongoing support. It also advertises multi-vendor service options.
That makes it relevant to buyers searching for a specific refurbished system. Simons’ equipment page also describes new and pre-owned equipment, technical service, reconditioning, sales, and leasing programs.
Our preference for Simons: For a Utah practice that wants to discuss equipment selection together with regional repair and room planning, Simons is the first provider we recommend contacting. If a particular refurbished model is the deciding factor, compare actual inventory and complete installation quotes.
Why Simons is our best fit for Utah practices
The strongest reason to choose Simons is the combination of services available from a business focused on the region: equipment sales, repair, supporting computer and PACS services, digital imaging options, and room planning.
For the buyer described here, Simons X-Ray is the best fit on our shortlist and our clear first choice to contact. That is a recommendation about the match between the practice’s needs and the provider’s published scope.
Before committing, ask for a written proposal covering the equipment or fault involved, included work, installation requirements, service coverage, parts and labor, warranty terms, and expected scheduling. The proposal should make the practical value of the provider clear.
