Used Medical Imaging Equipment Price Guide

Price ranges by modality

Treat these as orientation, not quotes. A single variable — tube hours on a CT, detector age on a mammography unit, MLC generation on a linac — can move a price by half.

• · MRI 1.5T: roughly $150,000 to $500,000
• · MRI 3T: roughly $400,000 to $1,000,000+
• · CT 16 slice: roughly $40,000 to $90,000
• · CT 64 slice: roughly $90,000 to $250,000
• · CT 128+ slice: roughly $250,000 upward
• · Linear accelerator, IMRT era: roughly $150,000 to $400,000
• · Linear accelerator, VMAT / SRS era: roughly $600,000 to $1,500,000
• · Digital mammography 2D: roughly $30,000 to $90,000
• · Mammography with tomosynthesis: roughly $90,000 to $250,000
• · PET/CT: roughly $150,000 to $1,000,000+
• · Mobile C-arm: roughly $20,000 to $70,000
• · Digital radiography room: roughly $40,000 to $150,000

What actually moves the price

Consumable life first: tube hours, magnet condition, detector age, waveguide hours. Then software: an enabled advanced package can be worth more than a five-year age difference. Then supportability: once an OEM ends software support for a platform, resale value drops sharply and quickly.

Why identical models list at different prices

A system still installed and scanning, with a current service contract and full accessory inventory, commands a premium over an identical model already de-installed and sitting on a pallet with an unverified parts list. Location matters too — a unit near a major freight corridor costs less to move.
