[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the after-sales demand of medical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) from MRI practitioners in different grades of medical institutions, so as to provide reference for the optimization of after-sales service quality evaluation system and guidance for MRI equipment manufacturers to improve after-sales service quality.Materials and Methods: The after-sales service demand questionnaire was proposed by the joint of radiologists, medical engineers and statisticians using Delphi method. The survey of after-sales service demand was carried out among MRI practitioners from 70 different hospitals in 24 provinces.Results: A total of 246 valid feedbacks from 21 provinces were collected from September to November, 2018. After comprehensive analysis, 18 first-level demand indicators related to maintenance of MRI equipment were extracted. Among all these indicators, troubleshooting efficiency was mostly demanded. In addition, MRI users preferred on-site service rather than remote guidance. During the warranty period, the manufacturers should carry out 2-3 times of technical training for engineers, technicians and radiologists. The results showed the on-site training is more demanded than distance training. In terms of scientific research collaboration, the demand for scientific research project cooperation, protocal setting, and post-processing training in tertiary hospitals is higher than secondary hospitals.Conclusions: MRI equipment manufacturers should continuously improve after-sales service quality based on the specific demands of MRI users. The demand indicators from perspectives of maintenance services, technical training, and scientific research collaboration should be considered when establishing the after-sales service quality evaluation system.
