Quick answer: An ultrasound machine costs $15,000 to $40,000 refurbished or $35,000 to $70,000 new for a portable system and $30,000 to $90,000 refurbished or $90,000 to $200,000 new for a cart-based system, delivered, installed and warrantied by Medical Outfitters with a tested probe set; handheld scanners run $4,000 to $18,000 as a market reference.

An ultrasound machine (also called a USG, sonography or ultrasonography machine) costs about $4,000 for a refurbished handheld unit and up to $200,000 or more for a new premium cart-based system. A refurbished portable ultrasound typically runs $15,000 to $40,000, a new portable $35,000 to $70,000, a refurbished cart-based system $30,000 to $90,000 and a new cart-based system $90,000 to $200,000. Each transducer adds to the total, and a certified refurbished ultrasound saves 40 to 60 per cent against new.

An ultrasound machine uses high-frequency sound waves and a transducer, or probe, to produce real-time images of organs, blood flow and soft tissue, with no radiation. This guide covers what an ultrasound machine costs by class, by model and by manufacturer (42 systems priced), portable and point-of-care systems, cardiac (echo) systems, probes, what moves the price, what a quote should include, what it costs to run, the transducers that carry most of the value, and how to choose between new and refurbished. Medical Outfitters sells the Fujifilm ARIETTA, Lisendo and Sonosite lines new as an authorized dealer and refurbished systems with tested probes, and services ultrasound systems bought anywhere.

Updated 26 October 2026. Prices are Medical Outfitters ranges for a system delivered, installed and warrantied, quoted individually for every site; this update adds the price by model for 42 systems, the portable and point-of-care, cardiac, probe cost and financing sections, and keeps every class band unchanged. Specifications and regulatory references were checked against manufacturer documentation and primary sources. Written by the Medical Outfitters sales and field engineering team.

Pricing

How Much Does an Ultrasound Machine Cost?

Ultrasound machine cost is driven by the class of system, the transducers quoted with it and its condition. The figures below are Medical Outfitters ranges for a system delivered, installed and warrantied. Headline prices published elsewhere are often for the equipment alone, before delivery, installation and current tariffs, so they read lower than a real all-in cost. Every Medical Outfitters system is quoted individually. We do not currently supply handheld scanners, so the handheld row is for comparison.

Ultrasound typeRefurbishedNewTypical use
Handheld / point-of-care$4,000 to $12,000$9,000 to $18,000Bedside and field use, pocket and tablet units
Portable / compact$15,000 to $40,000$35,000 to $70,000Clinics, point-of-care, emergency and anaesthesia
Cart-based / premium$30,000 to $90,000$90,000 to $200,000Hospitals, radiology, cardiology and specialty imaging

Ultrasound machine prices in 2026, Medical Outfitters all-in ranges by class with a tested probe set. The Fujifilm and Sonosite rows, the portable table, the manufacturer table and the cardiac table place 42 systems inside these bands.

Inside each band the transducer set moves the number more than anything else: a machine quoted with two probes and the same machine quoted with five are not the same purchase. The same question arrives in many forms: ultrasound machine cost, ultrasound machine price, how much does an ultrasound machine cost, how much is an ultrasound machine, ultrasound equipment cost, medical ultrasound machine price, hospital ultrasound machine cost, USG machine cost, cost of USG machine, sonogram machine cost, sonography machine price, ultrasonography machine price, ultrasound scan machine cost, cost of ultrasound machine, price of ultrasound machine, how much do ultrasound machines cost, how much does ultrasound equipment cost, and the table answers all of them. The average cost of an ultrasound machine bought by a clinic is a refurbished portable or compact cart in the $20,000 to $40,000 range; a hospital ultrasound machine is a cart-based system and averages $50,000 to $75,000 refurbished.

Equipment-only prices vs the all-in ultrasound machine price

Most ultrasound prices published online are equipment-only figures for a console with one or two probes, which is why they read lower than a delivered, installed and warrantied system. The comparison below puts the two side by side; column A is a comparison estimate, not a Medical Outfitters price.

By Model

Ultrasound Machine Price by Model: Fujifilm ARIETTA, Lisendo and Sonosite

The systems below are the Fujifilm lines we sell new as an authorized dealer, plus the refurbished Sonosite systems past Fujifilm Sonosite end of sale that we still supply and support. Each range is a Medical Outfitters figure for the system delivered, installed and warrantied with a standard probe set; the exact number depends on the transducers, the licensed software and the condition of the unit. New pricing applies to systems sold new; a model shown as refurbished only is past end of sale and not sold new.

Fujifilm Lisendo 880Cart, cardiovascular$60,000 to $90,000$140,000 to $200,000

What separates the ARIETTA 650, 750 and 850 in a quote is the beamformer and channel count, the licensed packages (cardiac, elastography, contrast, 3D and 4D) and the probe set, not the year of manufacture. The Lisendo 880 is the cardiac system in the range and is quoted with a phased array probe, the full Doppler suite and a cardiac package, which is why it sits with the premium carts. The Sonosite ZX carries the Sonosite 5-year standard warranty new, and the Edge II and M-Turbo are refurbished systems with manufacturer support still running.

Portable and Point of Care

Portable and Point-of-Care Ultrasound Machine Price

A portable ultrasound machine price runs $15,000 to $40,000 refurbished and $35,000 to $70,000 new, delivered, trained and warrantied with a tested probe set. Point of care ultrasound cost sits in the same band, and so does IV ultrasound machine cost, the portable bought for vascular access: the Sonosite ZX, Edge II and M-Turbo, the GE Logiq e and Vivid iq, the Philips CX50 and the Mindray M9 are the laptop and tablet systems bought for emergency, anesthesia, critical care, vascular access, sports medicine and clinics. Handheld ultrasound cost is lower, $4,000 to $12,000 refurbished and $9,000 to $18,000 new as a market reference for single-probe app-based scanners, which Medical Outfitters does not currently supply; the handheld rows below are for comparison and carry no figure.

Every portable figure above sits inside the portable class band, and every point-of-care quote from Medical Outfitters states the probes, the battery condition, the software licenses and the stand or cart. The Sonosite ZX is the portable system we sell new as an authorized Fujifilm Sonosite dealer; the Edge II and M-Turbo are refurbished systems with manufacturer support to 2030 and 2028 respectively; GE, Philips and Mindray portables are MO Select refurbished or sourced on request. Every portable and handheld system is priced on its own page, with the tiers, the probe costs and the settings, in our portable ultrasound machine price guide; this table is the summary.

By Manufacturer

Ultrasound Machine Cost by Manufacturer

GE, Philips, Siemens, Canon, Mindray, Samsung and Fujifilm all hold meaningful share, and the used market is correspondingly deep. Medical Outfitters sells Fujifilm and Fujifilm Sonosite new as an authorized dealer; GE and Siemens systems are rebuilt through MO Select; Philips, Canon, Mindray and Samsung systems are sourced refurbished on request for a specific caseload and probe set, and every one is quoted to the same delivered, installed and warrantied standard. The brand table gives the band per manufacturer; the ultrasound machine price by model under it places 21 cart-based systems inside those bands, with portable systems in the portable table and cardiac systems in the cardiac table. Another maker’s new figure is an estimated list price for comparison and is not a Medical Outfitters offer.

A 3D/4D OB/GYN ultrasound machine with a 4D volume probe runs $35,000 to $90,000 refurbished by generation (Voluson S8 to Voluson E10 class, MO Select); new, a Fujifilm ARIETTA 650 to 850 with a 4D volume probe is $100,000 to $200,000 from Medical Outfitters as an authorized dealer. GE Voluson systems are not sold new by Medical Outfitters. Fujifilm ARIETTA, Lisendo and Sonosite rows are in the price by model table above. Every refurbished band here sits inside the cart class band ($30,000 to $90,000) and inside its brand band; where a model is out of production or its new price would fall under the class floor, no new figure is printed. For breast imaging, the mammography machine cost guide covers 2D, tomosynthesis and breast CT systems the same way.

The point that costs people money is that transducers are specific to the platform. Switching manufacturer means replacing the entire probe set, not just the console, which is the strongest practical argument for staying on one platform once you have invested in probes. Ask for the probe list, the age of each probe and an air scan on the two you will use most before you compare a cheap console with an expensive one.

Cardiac

Cardiac (Echo) Ultrasound Machine Price

A cardiac ultrasound machine price, the echo machine price or echocardiography machine price in most searches, runs $35,000 to $90,000 refurbished and $140,000 to $200,000 new for a cart-based system, delivered, installed and warrantied with a phased array probe, the full Doppler suite and the licensed cardiac package. An echocardiogram machine is a premium cart rather than a compact system because strain, 3D and TEE work need the processing and the probe ports; the portable exception is the GE Vivid iq for bedside and stress work. The Fujifilm Lisendo 880 is the cardiovascular system we sell new; GE Vivid and Siemens Acuson cardiac carts are MO Select refurbished and Philips EPIQ CVx and Affiniti CVx systems are sourced refurbished on request.

A TEE probe is the add-on that moves a cardiac quote most: $15,000 to $30,000 new and $6,000 to $15,000 tested refurbished, per the probe cost table. Vascular labs that do not need the cardiac package buy a general imaging cart with the linear probe and pulsed-wave Doppler instead, at the general cart bands above.

Price Drivers

What Affects the Price of an Ultrasound Machine?

Two systems of the same class and the same age can be tens of thousands apart. These are the things that move an ultrasound machine price, roughly in order of impact.

  • Transducers The single biggest factor after the class of system. Probes carry much of the value and a machine quoted with two is not comparable to the same machine quoted with five
  • Class of system Handheld, portable and cart-based premium are three different price brackets before anything else
  • Licensed software Cardiac packages, elastography, contrast imaging, advanced vascular and 3D or 4D are usually licensed separately and do not always transfer with a used system
  • Beamformer and channel count Drives image quality and how well the system handles difficult patients
  • Age and platform support Whether the manufacturer still supplies parts and software matters more than the year of manufacture
  • Condition of the probes Not the console. Probes are handled all day and they are what fails

Transducers are where ultrasound value actually sits. Quote the machine with the probes you need, or you are not comparing like with like. Our explainer on ultrasound transducer types sets out what each probe does, our guide to how to choose an ultrasound probe works through the decision exam by exam, and the guide to ultrasound probe faults and repair covers how to test one properly, including the air scan that reveals element dropout.

The Quote

What Is Included in an Ultrasound Machine Price?

Before you purchase an ultrasound machine, compare what is actually in the two quotes. The gap between a cheap one and an expensive one is usually scope rather than the machine. Compare these line by line.

LineWhat to confirm
Which transducers, and how manyNamed, with frequency ranges
Licensed software packagesCardiac, vascular, elastography, 3D or 4D. Confirm they transfer
Cart, printer and peripheralsSometimes separate on used systems
Warranty termAnd specifically whether probes are covered, because that is what fails
Applications trainingEspecially on cardiac and elastography
DICOM connectivityWhether it will actually talk to your PACS
Delivery and setupIncluded in every Medical Outfitters quote

Siting is the easy part on ultrasound. There is no shielding, no special power and no structural work, which is why an ultrasound room is a fraction of the cost of an MRI or CT installation. We handle delivery and logistics including to Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.

Used Market

How Much Does a Used or Refurbished Ultrasound Machine Cost?

A refurbished ultrasound machine generally runs 40 to 60 per cent below the new price of the same platform, and the refurbished columns in the tables above are our ranges for a system delivered, installed and warrantied. Ultrasound has a deep used market because the installed base is large and systems are not physically difficult to move.

A new ultrasound offers the latest imaging software and a full manufacturer warranty. A certified refurbished ultrasound delivers comparable diagnostic performance for far less, fully inspected and warrantied, and because ultrasound platforms are durable and transducers can be added later, refurbished systems are an excellent value for clinics and point-of-care programs. Every ultrasound machine for sale on our site lists its configuration in the ultrasound machines category, and we quote transducers as part of the system, not as an extra.

The caution specific to this modality: an old ultrasound machine quoted cheaply often comes with tired probes, and re-probing a system can approach the price of the system. Ask for the probe list, the age of each probe, and an air scan on the two you would use most. Our guide on where to buy a refurbished ultrasound machine covers the checks, and refurbished versus OEM certified explains what the words mean. If you are replacing rather than adding, we also buy used imaging equipment.

Financing

Ultrasound Machine Financing and Leasing

A cart-based system at $30,000 to $200,000 is usually financed or leased rather than bought outright, and the structure matters as much as the price. A fair-market-value lease keeps the monthly cost lowest and hands the system back at term; a $1 buyout lease or an equipment loan ends in ownership; a refurbished system shortens the term because the principal is 40 to 60 percent lower, which is the main reason clinics buy MO Select cart systems rather than new ones. Probes bought later are usually added as separate small-ticket financing, so settle the probe set in the original quote.

Medical Outfitters quotes are written so a lender or lessor can use them as the invoice basis, with the probe set, software licenses, delivery, installation, applications training and warranty itemized. We do not publish rates, because they depend on the borrower, the term and the lender; ask for the quote in the format your financing partner needs.

Ownership

What Does It Cost to Run an Ultrasound Machine?

Ultrasound is usually the least expensive major modality to own. There is no magnet, no cryogen, no X-ray tube and no shielded room. But it is not free to run, and the recurring cost sits almost entirely in the probes. The other low-cost modality a clinic adds is bone density: our bone densitometer price guide covers DEXA machine cost by model and how much a DEXA scan costs.

  • Probe repair and replacement The dominant cost. Probes are dropped, cables fail and elements drop out
  • Service contract Priced against the platform and its age; whether probes are covered, and up to what value, is the clause that decides whether the contract is complete
  • Consumables Gel, probe covers, disinfectant and print media
  • Cleaning and disinfection compliance Using an agent that is not on the manufacturer approved list is a common cause of probe damage, and it voids cover
  • Annual QA Recurring, and expected under accreditation

The AIUM official statements are the reference on cleaning and transducer care. Repairing a probe is usually far cheaper than replacing it, and testing it properly before spending anything is the step most often skipped. Testing is work we do as part of ultrasound service, and we arrange probe repair through our service team.

Ultrasound Basics

What Is an Ultrasound Machine, and What Is It Used For?

An ultrasound machine sends high-frequency sound waves into the body through a transducer, then captures the echoes that bounce back to build a real-time image. Because it uses sound instead of radiation, ultrasound is safe for pregnancy and repeat exams. Doppler ultrasound adds the ability to visualize and measure blood flow. Image quality depends on the system, the transducer and the software.

Ultrasound is one of the most versatile and widely used imaging tools, found in:

  • OB/GYN Pregnancy and women’s health imaging
  • Cardiology (echo) Heart structure and function
  • Vascular Blood flow and Doppler studies
  • Point-of-care (POCUS) and emergency Rapid bedside assessment
  • Musculoskeletal and general Joints, abdomen and guided procedures

Ultrasound uses no ionising radiation, which is why it is the first line in obstetrics and much of point-of-care work. The FDA overview of ultrasound imaging covers the modality and its safety considerations, the NIBIB explainer covers the physics plainly, and the RadiologyInfo page on general ultrasound is published by the ACR and RSNA. If you are weighing modalities rather than systems, our MRI versus CT comparison covers that decision.

Equipment Types

What Types of Ultrasound Machine Are There?

ClassWhat it isWho buys it
Handheld / point-of-carePocket and tablet-sized units for bedside and field use. Lowest cost and most portableEmergency, anaesthesia, primary care and field programs
Portable / compactLaptop-style systems balancing image quality and mobilityClinics, point-of-care, sports medicine, veterinary
Cart-based / premiumFull-featured console systems with the best image quality and the widest transducer supportHospitals, radiology, cardiology and specialty imaging

A cart-based premium system is the class where software licences and probe count move the price most. A portable system is bought for ruggedness, boot time and battery life as much as for image refinement, which is why the Sonosite line dominates emergency and anaesthesia work.

Transducers

Ultrasound Transducers (Probes): The Part That Decides the Price

The transducer, or probe, is the part that touches the patient and largely determines what you can image. Frequency and footprint set the trade-off between depth and resolution: higher frequency gives finer detail but does not penetrate as far.

Probe typeTypical frequencyField of viewUsed for
Curvilinear (convex)1 to 6 MHzWide, deep sectorAbdominal, obstetric, general
Linear5 to 18 MHz and higherRectangular, shallowVascular, musculoskeletal, small parts, nerve blocks, breast, thyroid
Phased array (sector)1 to 5 MHzNarrow sector from a small footprintCardiac, and abdominal imaging between the ribs
Endocavity4 to 10 MHzTight sector from a small curved faceTransvaginal and transrectal work
Transesophageal (TEE)3 to 8 MHzSector from inside the oesophagusCardiac imaging in the operating room and cardiology
3D and 4D volume2 to 9 MHzVolume acquisitionObstetric and specialist imaging

Each transducer adds meaningfully to system cost, so probe selection matters. Our explainer on ultrasound transducer types goes through every type with its frequency, footprint and exams, and how to choose an ultrasound probe turns that into a decision by caseload. We test transducers and arrange probe repair through our service team to extend the life of your existing transducers.

Ultrasound probe (transducer) cost: new, refurbished and repair

An ultrasound probe costs $3,000 to $30,000 new depending on the type, $1,000 to $15,000 as a tested refurbished probe, and $400 to $6,000 to repair, which is why the probe set decides where a quote lands inside the class band and why a failed probe is tested before it is replaced.

Probe typeNew OEM probeTested refurbished probeRepair, arranged through our service team
Curvilinear, linear, phased array$3,000 to $12,000$1,000 to $6,000$400 to $2,500
Endocavity$4,000 to $12,000$1,500 to $6,000$500 to $2,500
3D/4D volume$8,000 to $18,000$3,000 to $9,000$800 to $3,500
TEE (transesophageal)$15,000 to $30,000$6,000 to $15,000$1,500 to $6,000

Probe prices are Medical Outfitters ranges for a probe supplied with the system or added to it, tested with an air scan for element dropout. Repair is quoted per fault through the ultrasound service team, and the explainer on probe faults, testing and repair covers what is repairable.

Modes

Doppler and Imaging Modes: What Do You Actually Need?

Doppler ultrasound measures movement, principally blood flow, by reading the frequency shift of the returning signal. It is the feature most often assumed to be included and most often licensed separately.

ModeWhat it does
B-modeThe standard grey scale image
M-modeMotion over time along one line, used in cardiac
Colour DopplerFlow direction and velocity overlaid on the image
Power DopplerMore sensitive to slow flow, no direction information
Pulsed and continuous wave DopplerQuantitative velocity measurement
ElastographyTissue stiffness, used in liver and breast work
Contrast enhanced ultrasoundRequires both a licence and an agent

Confirm in writing which modes are licensed on the specific system you are quoted, not which the platform supports. Colour, power, pulsed wave and continuous wave Doppler are different licences on many platforms, and a cardiac or vascular package is what unlocks the measurements a specialty actually bills for.

Terminology

USG, Echo, Sonogram or Ultrasonography Machine: Same Machine, Same Price?

Yes, with one exception. USG machine, sonogram machine, sonography machine, ultrasonography machine and echography machine are all the same equipment, so a USG machine price or an echography machine price is an ultrasound machine price. An echo machine is the exception in scope rather than in kind: echocardiography uses a cardiac ultrasound system, which is a premium cart with a phased array probe and the cardiac package, so echo machine cost sits at the top of the cart band. It matters when you compare quotes, because different suppliers list the same equipment under different words.

TermWhat it means
Ultrasound machineThe equipment
USG machineSame equipment. USG is the abbreviation for ultrasonography used across South Asia, the Middle East and Latin America, so USG machine cost is ultrasound machine cost
Echo machine, echocardiography machineA cardiac ultrasound system: the same technology configured for the heart, priced at the top of the cart band
Echography machineSame equipment. Echography is the European term for ultrasound imaging
Sonogram machineSame equipment. A sonogram is the image the machine produces
Sonography machineSame equipment. Sonography is the practice of performing the scan
Ultrasonography machineSame equipment again, the formal clinical term
Diagnostic or medical ultrasound machineThe same thing, used to separate clinical systems from industrial or veterinary listings
Ultrasound scanning machineAppears in some listings too, and ultrasound scanning machine price means the same as ultrasound machine cost

So USG machine cost, price of USG machine, sonogram machine cost, sonography machine price, price of sonography machine, ultrasound sonography machine price, echography machine price, ultrasonography machine cost, price of ultrasonography machine, ultrasound imaging machine cost and ultrasound scanning machine cost are all the same question as ultrasound machine cost, and the ranges in the tables above answer all of them; echo machine price is answered by the cardiac table. What actually changes the number is the transducer set, not the word used in the listing.

Brands & Models

Ultrasound Systems We Carry

Medical Outfitters carries new and refurbished Fujifilm ultrasound systems from portable point-of-care to premium cart, as an authorized Fujifilm and Fujifilm Sonosite dealer:

Manufacturers

Which Ultrasound Manufacturer Should You Choose?

The market is broader than in MRI or CT, and the used market is correspondingly deep. GE, Philips, Siemens, Canon, Mindray, Samsung and Fujifilm all hold meaningful share, and probes are not interchangeable between them.

That last point is the one that costs people money. Transducers are specific to the platform, so switching manufacturer means replacing the entire probe set, not just the console. It is the strongest practical argument for staying on one platform once you have invested in probes. Our range is Fujifilm, including the Sonosite point-of-care line, because it covers portable, compact, premium and cardiac work on platforms with current manufacturer support and a probe supply we can stand behind.

By Specialty

Which Ultrasound Machine Suits Which Specialty?

Buy for the caseload, not for the brochure. The probe set and the licensed modes matter far more than the badge.

SpecialtyWhat to buy
General and abdominalA general purpose ultrasound machine with curvilinear plus linear probes and colour Doppler, on a compact or shared-service cart
Obstetrics and gynaecologyCurvilinear plus endocavity, often 3D or 4D
CardiologyPhased array, full Doppler suite, cardiac package. This is a premium cart, not a compact
VascularLinear plus full Doppler including pulsed wave
Musculoskeletal and sports medicineHigh frequency linear, often with a hockey stick probe
Emergency and point of careHandheld or portable, ruggedness and boot time matter more than image refinement
Anaesthesia and nerve blocksHigh frequency linear, needle visualisation software

How much does a refurbished GE or Philips ultrasound machine cost?
Refurbished GE carts through MO Select: Logiq E10 and Voluson E10 $60,000 to $90,000, Logiq E9, Logiq S8 and Voluson E8 $35,000 to $55,000, Voluson S8 $35,000 to $50,000. Refurbished Philips carts, sourced on request: EPIQ Elite $60,000 to $90,000, EPIQ 7 $45,000 to $70,000, EPIQ 5 and Affiniti 70 $35,000 to $60,000, Affiniti 50 $30,000 to $48,000. Portables from both makers run $15,000 to $40,000. All delivered, installed and warrantied with a tested probe set; we do not sell these brands new.
What is the difference between handheld, portable, and cart-based ultrasound?
Handheld units are pocket-sized for bedside use, portable systems are laptop-style for clinics and POCUS, and cart-based systems are full consoles for hospitals with the best image quality and transducer support.
What are the types of ultrasound transducers (probes)?
Common transducers include linear array for shallow structures, curved (convex) array for abdominal and OB, phased array for cardiac, and endocavitary probes for transvaginal or transrectal exams. Transesophageal and 3D or 4D probes cover cardiac and specialist obstetric work.
What is a Doppler ultrasound?
Doppler ultrasound is a mode that visualizes and measures blood flow, used for vascular, cardiac, and obstetric studies.
How much does a USG machine cost?
USG is the common abbreviation for ultrasonography, so a USG machine price is an ultrasound machine price: $4,000 to $18,000 for a handheld scanner as a market reference, $15,000 to $40,000 refurbished or $35,000 to $70,000 new for a portable system and $30,000 to $90,000 refurbished or $90,000 to $200,000 new for a cart-based system, delivered, installed and warrantied by Medical Outfitters with a tested probe set.
How much does an echo machine cost?
An echo machine is a cardiac ultrasound system, so echo machine price means the top of the cart band: $35,000 to $90,000 refurbished and $140,000 to $200,000 new with a phased array probe, the full Doppler suite and the cardiac package. The Fujifilm Lisendo 880 is $140,000 to $200,000 new from Medical Outfitters; refurbished GE Vivid E95, Philips EPIQ CVx and Vivid E9 systems run $35,000 to $90,000, and the portable Vivid iq $25,000 to $40,000.
How much does an echocardiogram machine cost?
The same as an echo machine, because an echocardiogram is the exam and the machine is a cardiac ultrasound system: $35,000 to $90,000 refurbished or $140,000 to $200,000 new, delivered, installed and warrantied. Add $6,000 to $15,000 for a tested refurbished TEE probe or $15,000 to $30,000 for a new one if the lab does transesophageal work.
How much does an echography machine cost?
Echography is the European term for ultrasound imaging, so an echography machine price follows the same bands as an ultrasound machine: $15,000 to $70,000 for a portable system and $30,000 to $200,000 for a cart-based system, refurbished to new, delivered, installed and warrantied; handheld scanners run $4,000 to $18,000 as a market reference.
How much does a hospital ultrasound machine cost?
Hospitals buy cart-based systems: $30,000 to $90,000 refurbished and $90,000 to $200,000 new for a radiology, shared service or cardiology cart such as the Fujifilm ARIETTA 850, GE Logiq E10, Philips EPIQ Elite or Siemens Acuson Sequoia, delivered, installed and warrantied with the full probe set. The probe set and the licensed packages decide where in the band the quote lands; a hospital that standardizes on one platform keeps its probes interchangeable, which is worth more over ten years than the price difference between consoles.
How much does a portable ultrasound machine cost?
$15,000 to $40,000 refurbished and $35,000 to $70,000 new, delivered, trained and warrantied with a tested probe set: the Sonosite ZX at $18,000 to $35,000 refurbished and $35,000 to $60,000 new, the Edge II at $15,000 to $30,000, the M-Turbo at $15,000 to $25,000, the GE Logiq e at $15,000 to $28,000, the Vivid iq at $25,000 to $40,000, the Philips CX50 at $18,000 to $35,000 and the Mindray M9 at $15,000 to $28,000 refurbished.
How much does a handheld ultrasound cost?
Handheld scanners run $4,000 to $12,000 refurbished and $9,000 to $18,000 new as a market reference for single-probe app-based units. Medical Outfitters does not currently supply handheld scanners, so that band is for comparison; the portable class at $15,000 to $70,000 is where our point-of-care systems start, and a portable with two tested probes, training and a warranty is usually the better purchase for a clinic.
What does point-of-care ultrasound cost?
A point-of-care ultrasound system costs $15,000 to $40,000 refurbished or $35,000 to $70,000 new for a portable such as the Sonosite ZX, Edge II or M-Turbo or the GE Venue, delivered, trained and warrantied; handheld scanners sit below that at $4,000 to $18,000 as a market reference. For emergency, anesthesia and vascular access the portable class is the usual purchase because the probe set, the battery and the warranty are part of the price.
How much does a 3D or 4D ultrasound machine cost?
3D ultrasound machine cost depends on the volume probe more than the console. A 3D/4D OB/GYN ultrasound machine with a 4D volume probe runs $35,000 to $90,000 refurbished by generation, from the GE Voluson S8 to the Voluson E10 through MO Select; new, a Fujifilm ARIETTA 650 to 850 with a 4D volume probe is $100,000 to $200,000 from Medical Outfitters as an authorized dealer. The volume probe itself is $8,000 to $18,000 new or $3,000 to $9,000 tested refurbished.
How much does a GE Logiq ultrasound machine cost?
Through MO Select, refurbished, delivered, installed and warrantied: Logiq E10 $60,000 to $90,000, Logiq E9 $35,000 to $55,000, Logiq S8 $35,000 to $55,000 and the portable Logiq e $15,000 to $28,000. New Logiq systems are estimated at $90,000 to $200,000 and are not sold new by Medical Outfitters.
How much does a Philips EPIQ ultrasound machine cost?
Sourced refurbished on request, delivered, installed and warrantied: EPIQ Elite $60,000 to $90,000, EPIQ 7 $45,000 to $70,000, EPIQ 5 $35,000 to $60,000 and the cardiac EPIQ CVx $60,000 to $90,000. New EPIQ systems are estimated at $130,000 to $200,000 and are not sold new by Medical Outfitters.
Is there an ultrasound machine price list by model?
Yes. This page prices 42 systems in 2026 all-in bands: Fujifilm ARIETTA, Lisendo and Sonosite systems new and refurbished; GE, Philips, Siemens, Canon, Mindray and Samsung cart systems refurbished from $30,000 to $90,000; portable and point-of-care systems from $15,000 to $70,000; and cardiac systems from $35,000 to $200,000, each delivered, installed and warrantied with a tested probe set.
Is a refurbished ultrasound machine worth it?
Yes. A certified refurbished ultrasound saves 40 to 60 percent versus new with comparable diagnostic performance, provided it is fully inspected and backed by warranty.
How much does a sonogram machine cost?
How much is a sonogram machine? The same as an ultrasound machine, because they are the same equipment: a sonogram is the image and the machine that produces it is an ultrasound machine. Refurbished handheld systems start around $4,000 as a market reference, portable systems from $15,000 and cart-based premium systems from $30,000, delivered, installed and warrantied.
How much does a sonography machine cost?
Sonography machine price follows the same ranges as ultrasound machine cost, because they are the same equipment under a different word. What moves the number inside a band is the transducer set and which software packages are licensed.
How much does an ultrasonography machine cost?
Ultrasonography machine cost is the same question as ultrasound machine cost. Refurbished runs from about $4,000 for handheld to $90,000 for cart-based premium, and new from $9,000 to $200,000, depending on class, probes and licensed options.
What affects the price of an ultrasound machine?
The transducer set first, then the class of system, then licensed software packages such as cardiac, elastography and 3D or 4D. After that, beamformer and channel count, platform support status, and the condition of the probes rather than the console.
How many transducers should an ultrasound machine come with?
As many as your caseload needs, named in the quote with their frequency ranges. A machine quoted with two probes and the same machine quoted with five are not the same purchase, and probes carry much of the value of the system.
What is the difference between a curvilinear and a linear probe?
A curvilinear probe uses a lower frequency and a curved face to give a wide, deep field of view, which suits abdominal and obstetric work. A linear probe uses a higher frequency and a flat face for shallow, very high resolution imaging, which suits vascular, musculoskeletal and nerve block work.
What is a Doppler ultrasound and is it included?
Doppler measures movement, principally blood flow, from the frequency shift of the returning signal. Colour, power, pulsed wave and continuous wave are different Doppler modes. They are frequently licensed separately, so confirm in writing which modes are enabled on the specific system you are quoted.
What does it cost to run an ultrasound machine?
Ultrasound is usually the least expensive major modality to own, because there is no magnet, no cryogen and no shielded room. The recurring cost is dominated by probe repair and replacement, then the service contract, consumables such as gel and probe covers, and annual QA.
How much does ultrasound probe repair cost?
Probe repair runs $400 to $2,500 for curvilinear, linear and phased array probes, $500 to $2,500 for endocavity, $800 to $3,500 for 3D/4D volume probes and $1,500 to $6,000 for a TEE probe, arranged through our service team and quoted per fault. A new OEM probe is $3,000 to $30,000 by type and a tested refurbished probe $1,000 to $15,000, so repair is usually the cheaper route; test the probe properly, including an air scan for element dropout, before you spend anything either way.
Does an ultrasound machine need a special room?
No. There is no shielding, no special power and no structural work, which is why an ultrasound room costs a fraction of an MRI or CT installation. You need space, a power outlet, network connectivity for DICOM and somewhere to store probes safely.
How much does a used ultrasound machine cost?
A refurbished ultrasound machine generally runs 40 to 60 per cent below new on the same platform. The caution specific to ultrasound is that a cheap old machine often comes with tired probes, and re-probing a system can approach the price of the system itself.
Where can I buy ultrasound equipment?
From a supplier that services what it sells and quotes the probes as part of the system. Medical Outfitters is a medical imaging equipment supplier based in Miami, Florida. We sell new and refurbished ultrasound machines across the United States, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, and we test transducers and arrange probe repair through our service team.
Which ultrasound manufacturer is best?
There is no single best. GE, Philips, Siemens, Canon, Mindray, Samsung and Fujifilm all hold meaningful share. The practical point is that transducers are not interchangeable between manufacturers, so switching platform means replacing the whole probe set, not just the console.
What ultrasound machine do I need for cardiology?
A phased array probe, the full Doppler suite including pulsed and continuous wave, and a licensed cardiac package, which means a premium cart rather than a compact system. The Fujifilm Lisendo 880 is the cardiac system we sell new, $140,000 to $200,000 new or $60,000 to $90,000 refurbished; the GE Vivid E95 and Philips EPIQ CVx run $60,000 to $90,000 refurbished, the Vivid E9 $35,000 to $55,000 and the portable Vivid iq $25,000 to $40,000, delivered, installed and warrantied.
What ultrasound machine is best for point of care?
A portable system, where ruggedness, boot time and battery matter more than image refinement: the Sonosite ZX at $18,000 to $35,000 refurbished and $35,000 to $60,000 new, the refurbished Edge II at $15,000 to $30,000 and M-Turbo at $15,000 to $25,000 are the point-of-care systems we supply, with the GE Logiq e, Vivid iq and Venue, the Philips CX50 and the Mindray M9 sourced in the same $15,000 to $40,000 refurbished band. Handheld scanners sit below that as a market reference and are not something we currently supply.
Can you use ultrasound on animals?
Yes. Veterinary practices generally buy refurbished general purpose systems with a curvilinear and a linear probe. The equipment is the same; the probe choice follows the species and the caseload.
Is ultrasound safe?
Ultrasound uses sound waves rather than ionising radiation, which is why it is first line in obstetrics and in much point-of-care work. Standard practice is to keep exposure as low as reasonably achievable and to scan only when clinically indicated.
Do you service ultrasound machines you did not sell?
Yes, and probe faults are the most common reason facilities call. Whether a probe is worth repairing or replacing depends on the fault, and testing it properly before you spend anything is the step most often skipped.
Where can I find ultrasound machines for sale?
Our current ultrasound machines for sale are listed with their configuration in the ultrasound machines category. Each listing shows the class of system, and we quote the probes with it rather than as an extra, because a console without the right transducers is not a working system.
Can I buy a used ultrasound machine directly?
Yes. We sell new and refurbished systems directly rather than broking them, and we service what we sell. If you want used ultrasound equipment for sale rather than a new system, tell us the caseload and the budget and we will tell you what is realistic in that range.
