New, Refurbished and Used CT Scanners for Sale

How to choose a CT scanner

A CT scanner is bought on three numbers and one plan: the slice count you need for the exams you will run, the throughput you expect, the dose and image-quality features your radiologists want, and the room and service plan that keep the scanner working for the next ten years. The sections below follow that order: condition, slice count, brand and model, room requirements, installation, service and financing. If you already know your configuration, the model grid lists every CT scan machine we sell, and our CT scanner cost and price guide covers budgets by slice count.

New, refurbished or used CT scanner?

New CT scanners. We sell Fujifilm CT systems new, as an authorized dealer: the Supria 32 and Supria 128, the SCENARIA View and SCENARIA View Focus Edition, and the 128-slice iStream. New buys you the current dose-reduction and reconstruction software, a fresh X-ray tube with its full life ahead of it, the manufacturer warranty and the longest supported service life.

Refurbished CT scanners (MO Select). Our engineers rebuild pre-owned GE and Siemens scanners to the manufacturer specification, replace worn components, verify tube performance and image quality, then install the system with our own crews and cover it with a written warranty. The GE Optima CT660, GE LightSpeed and BrightSpeed families and the Siemens SOMATOM Scope are the platforms we refurbish most often because parts, engineer knowledge and service history are all deep. See refurbished medical imaging equipment for what MO Select includes.

Used CT machines. A used scanner is tested and working but sold without a full rebuild, usually with the existing tube. It is the lowest entry price and suits facilities with their own biomedical team or a defined short-term need. Ask about used units not yet listed. GE, Siemens and Philips scanners are available refurbished or used only; we do not sell those brands new.

Slice count: 16, 32, 64 or 128 slices

16-slice. Routine head, chest, abdomen, spine and extremity CT, emergency departments, urgent care and clinics that need reliable diagnostic CT without cardiac work. Refurbished GE BrightSpeed (Elite and Excel), GE LightSpeed 16 and Siemens SOMATOM Scope systems are the value choice here.

32-slice. A step up in speed and coverage for general radiology and oncology follow-up in a compact footprint. The Fujifilm Supria 32 pairs 32 slices with a 75 cm wide bore, which helps with bariatric patients and radiation-therapy planning positions.

64-slice. The point at which coronary CT angiography, CT perfusion and fast trauma protocols become practical. The refurbished GE Optima CT660 and GE LightSpeed VCT 64 cover this tier; the Fujifilm SCENARIA View is available in 64- and 128-slice configurations.

128-slice. Whole-organ coverage in a single rotation, low-dose pediatric and cardiac imaging, and the throughput a busy hospital department needs. The Fujifilm Supria 128, SCENARIA View 128, SCENARIA View Focus Edition and iStream 128 are the new options.

Slice count is only part of the picture: rotation speed, detector width, tube heat capacity, iterative reconstruction and dose software decide how a scanner performs in practice. Our guide to CT scanner types by slice count walks through each tier with diagrams. Our CT scanner cost and price guide explains slice count in detail, and MRI vs CT scan covers when CT is the right modality.

CT scanner model grid

Every listing opens a full product page with specifications, a video where available and a quote form. Refurbished inventory changes as systems are rebuilt, so ask if the model you want is not listed.

Room requirements and siting

A CT scanner needs a lead-shielded room sized for the gantry, table travel and service access, a separate control room with a leaded viewing window, dedicated three-phase power, a chiller or adequate HVAC for the gantry heat load, a floor that carries the gantry weight and a delivery path from the truck to the room. Compact systems such as the Supria 32 and Supria 128 were designed to fit rooms that older scanners could not. We survey the site before quoting, produce the room layout and coordinate shielding and construction with our construction partner, so the quote covers the whole project. In Puerto Rico and the Caribbean we also plan for power quality, humidity and shipping; see our guide to clinical facility development in the US and Caribbean.

Delivery, installation and de-installation

Our own rigging and installation crews handle site inspection, permits, rigging, gantry placement, calibration, image-quality testing and applications hand-off. We de-install and remove scanners at the end of their life, handle the tube and gantry logistics for a replacement project, and buy or trade in used systems. Florida deliveries are scheduled with our Miami crew, the rest of the United States is covered on scheduled trips, and Puerto Rico and the Caribbean by container shipping from Miami with installation by our engineers. See MRI, CT and X-ray machines for sale in Florida for local delivery details.

Service, tubes, parts and warranty

The X-ray tube is the largest single running cost of a CT scanner, so tube condition and replacement terms are part of every quote we write. Service contracts, repairs and preventive maintenance are available for GE, Siemens, Philips, Fujifilm and Hitachi scanners whether or not the system was purchased from us, backed by more than 20,000 parts in stock and the engineers who rebuild our MO Select systems. Refurbished scanners come with a written warranty; new scanners carry the manufacturer warranty. Visit our service and repair page for coverage options, delivery and logistics, and mobile imaging support.

Financing and leasing

Most CT scanners can be bought outright or leased. Tell us your target monthly payment and term and we will quote both routes, with installation and the first year of service included, so the numbers you present are complete.

CT scanner prices

The price of a CT scan machine depends on slice count, tube condition, software options, condition (new, refurbished or used) and the shielding, power and installation the room needs. Refurbished 16-slice systems sit at the low end, refurbished 64-slice and new 32-slice systems in the middle, and new 64- and 128-slice scanners at the top. For ranges by slice count, new versus refurbished, and what turnkey installation adds, read our CT scanner cost and price guide.

CAT scan machine, CT scan machine or CT scanner?

They are the same equipment. CAT scan (computed axial tomography) is the older name, CT scanner (computed tomography) is the current one, and buyers also search for CT scan machine, CT machine, CT imaging system and multi-slice or multi-detector CT (MDCT). Whether you need a cat scan machine for a clinic, a used CT scanner for an emergency department or a new 128-slice CT scan machine for a hospital, the listings on this page cover all of them.
