A mammography machine (mammogram machine) costs $40,000 to $95,000 for a refurbished 2D digital system, $95,000 to $225,000 for a refurbished 3D system, $110,000 to $225,000 for a new 2D system and $235,000 to $500,000 for a new 3D tomosynthesis system, delivered, installed and warrantied. A certified refurbished system saves 40 to 60 percent against new, and the price tiers below place every model inside those four bands.
A mammography machine, also called a mammogram machine, is a specialized low-dose X-ray system used to image breast tissue for cancer screening and diagnosis, available in 2D digital and 3D tomosynthesis configurations. This guide covers what a mammography machine costs by type, by tier and by model, what moves the price, what a quote includes, the other costs of running a breast imaging program line by line, 2D versus 3D versus breast CT, what a Koning Vera breast CT quote contains, what the mammogram exam itself costs a patient, the systems we carry and how to decide between new and refurbished. Medical Outfitters sells Fujifilm mammography systems new as an authorized dealer, sells Planmed Clarity systems new to customers in Latin America and the Caribbean outside Puerto Rico and not in the United States or Puerto Rico, supplies the Koning Vera breast CT, sources refurbished Hologic, GE and Siemens systems on request, and services mammography systems bought anywhere.
Mammography is the exam and a mammogram is the image, so a mammography machine, a mammogram machine and a mammo machine are the same equipment: a dedicated low-dose X-ray system with a compression paddle and a breast-tissue detector. A digital mammography machine means a flat-panel detector rather than film, which every system here has; tomosynthesis adds the 3D sweep, and mammogram equipment in a quote means the system plus paddles, workstation and accessories.

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 tiers, the Hologic, GE and Siemens price notes, the program cost table, the Koning Vera breast CT section, the mammogram exam cost section and six questions, 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.
How Much Does a Mammography Machine (Mammogram Machine) Cost?
Mammography machine cost is driven mainly by 2D versus 3D capability and by 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, rigging, installation and current tariffs, so they read lower than a real all-in cost. Every Medical Outfitters system is quoted individually.
| Mammography type | Refurbished | New | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2D digital (FFDM) | $40,000 to $95,000 | $110,000 to $225,000 | Full-field digital screening and diagnostic mammography |
| 3D tomosynthesis (DBT) | $95,000 to $225,000 | $235,000 to $500,000 | Tomosynthesis with synthesized 2D, optional contrast and biopsy |
Mammogram machine cost by type in 2026, Medical Outfitters all-in ranges. The price tiers and the price by model place 18 models inside these bands.
Inside each band the detector generation, the tomosynthesis and contrast licences, the biopsy option and the workstation decide where a quote lands. The same question arrives as mammography machine cost, mammogram machine cost, mammography machine price, mammogram machine price, new mammogram machine cost, mammo machine cost, digital mammography machine cost, cost of a mammography unit, mammography price and mammography equipment cost, and the table answers all of them.

Average mammography machine cost and price tiers
The average mammography machine cost depends on the tier a buyer shops in more than on the brand. A refurbished 2D system for a screening program averages about $65,000 delivered and installed, a refurbished 3D system about $150,000, and a new tomosynthesis platform from Medical Outfitters about $300,000; the five tiers below are the bands those averages sit in, and the price by model under them names the systems in each.
| Tier | Medical Outfitters range, all-in | Typical models | What the tier buys |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry refurbished 2D | $40,000 to $95,000 | Hologic Selenia and Selenia Dimensions 2D, GE Senographe Essential, Siemens MAMMOMAT Inspiration 2D, Fujifilm ASPIRE Cristalle 2D when available | Full-field digital screening and diagnostic mammography on a supported platform, delivered, installed and warrantied |

Mammography Machine Price by Model: Hologic, Siemens, GE, Fujifilm and Planmed
The 18 models below are the ones buyers ask about most. Each range is a Medical Outfitters figure for the system delivered, installed and warrantied with a standard paddle set and acquisition workstation. Fujifilm systems are sold new by Medical Outfitters as an authorized dealer; Planmed Clarity systems are sold new by Medical Outfitters to customers in Latin America and the Caribbean outside Puerto Rico and are not sold in the United States or Puerto Rico. Hologic, GE and Siemens systems are not sold new by Medical Outfitters: their refurbished ranges are for systems sourced on request and refurbished to the same delivered, installed and warrantied standard, and their new figures are estimated list prices for comparison only, not a Medical Outfitters offer.

Two things to read alongside the table. First, the price of a refurbished 3D system is set by the tomosynthesis licence, the detector generation and whether the biopsy option is fitted, more than by the badge on the gantry. Second, a system that is no longer manufactured can still be an excellent purchase if the manufacturer supports the platform and parts are available; a system that is newer but out of support is the harder one to keep certified.
Hologic mammography machine prices: Selenia Dimensions, 3Dimensions and Envision
Hologic systems are not sold new by Medical Outfitters; we source them refurbished on request and quote them delivered, installed and warrantied. A refurbished Selenia Dimensions runs $60,000 to $95,000 in the 2D configuration and $110,000 to $175,000 with tomosynthesis, a refurbished 3Dimensions $160,000 to $225,000, and the original Selenia $40,000 to $70,000 while Hologic still supports it. The Envision, Hologic’s newest platform, has not reached the secondary market yet and is sourced on request when units appear. New Hologic systems are estimated at $150,000 to $500,000 by platform for comparison only.
GE Senographe Essential and Pristina prices
GE systems come refurbished, sourced on request: a Senographe Essential $45,000 to $75,000 in 2D and $100,000 to $150,000 with SenoClaire tomosynthesis, and a Senographe Pristina, the current GE platform with its biopsy and contrast options, $150,000 to $225,000. The Essential is out of GE’s current lineup and not sold new; a new Pristina is estimated at $300,000 to $500,000 for comparison only and is not sold new by Medical Outfitters.
Siemens MAMMOMAT Inspiration and Revelation prices
Siemens systems come refurbished, sourced on request: a MAMMOMAT Inspiration $50,000 to $85,000 in 2D and $120,000 to $175,000 with its wide-angle tomosynthesis, and a MAMMOMAT Revelation $150,000 to $225,000. The Inspiration is out of the Siemens lineup; a new Revelation is estimated at $300,000 to $500,000 for comparison only, and the newest B.brilliant platform is rarely available refurbished. Neither is sold new by Medical Outfitters.
What Moves the Price of a Mammography Machine?
Two systems of the same age and the same brand can be tens of thousands of dollars apart. These are the things that move a mammography machine price, roughly in order of impact.
- 2D or 3D Tomosynthesis is the single largest step. It needs a tube and gantry that sweep through an arc, a detector fast enough to capture the projections and a reconstruction engine, and it is licensed separately on most platforms
- Detector Direct-conversion amorphous selenium and indirect caesium iodide detectors, pixel size and detector age. The detector is the most expensive component and the one that ages, which is why detector generation drives refurbished pricing
- Synthesized 2D, contrast and biopsy options Synthesized 2D from the tomosynthesis volume, contrast-enhanced mammography and an upright stereotactic or tomosynthesis-guided biopsy option are each licensed or fitted separately
- Software and AI Computer-aided detection and AI triage or density software are licensed separately and rarely transfer with a used system
- Workstation and monitors The acquisition workstation comes with the system; a radiologist reading workstation with 5 megapixel mammography monitors is usually a separate line
- Paddles and positioning aids A full paddle set, curved compression paddles and magnification stands are quoted per item on used systems
- Condition and platform support Tube exposure count, detector calibration history, software level and whether the manufacturer still supports the platform matter more than the year of manufacture
What Is Included in a Mammography Machine Price?
Before you purchase a mammography 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.
| Line | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| The system | Gantry, tube, detector, standard paddle set and the acquisition workstation, with the tomosynthesis, synthesized 2D, contrast and biopsy options listed by name |
| Licensed software | Which options are enabled on this serial number, and whether they transfer on a used system |
| Delivery, rigging and installation | Included in every Medical Outfitters quote, with calibration to manufacturer specification |
| Physics and MQSA | Who coordinates the medical physicist’s acceptance survey and the MQSA paperwork before the first patient |
| Applications training | On-site training for technologists, especially for tomosynthesis positioning and biopsy |
| Warranty | Term, and whether the detector and the tube are covered |
| Quoted separately | Reading workstation and 5 megapixel monitors, PACS and CAD or AI software, room shielding where required, extra paddles, biopsy add-on, accreditation fees |
We handle delivery and logistics and installation and de-installation with our own crews, including to Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, where we installed the first Planmed Clarity 3D mammography system in the Dominican Republic.
What Else Does a Mammography Program Cost?
The system is the largest line, but a mammography program has recurring costs that a CT or ultrasound room does not, because mammography is the one imaging modality with its own national quality law. Budget for these alongside the purchase.
Mammography equipment cost by line item
Every line below is quoted with the system for the specific site, because the physicist’s plan, the accreditation body and the reading setup differ from one facility to the next. The table says what each line covers and how it is priced, so a budget can carry every line from the start.
| Line | What it covers | How it is priced |
|---|---|---|
| Reading workstation and mammography monitors | A diagnostic reading station with a pair of FDA-cleared 5 megapixel or 12 megapixel displays, such as the LG 31HN713D, quoted as its own line | Quoted per station with the system |
| Paddles and positioning aids | The full paddle set, curved and flex paddles, spot and magnification paddles, the magnification stand | Quoted per item; the standard set ships with the system |
| Applications training | On-site technologist training, tomosynthesis positioning and biopsy | Included in a Medical Outfitters quote; extra days quoted per day |
| Medical physicist survey | The acceptance survey at installation and the annual survey MQSA requires | Quoted per survey by the physicist; we coordinate the acceptance survey |
| ACR mammography accreditation | Application and reaccreditation per unit, every three years, with phantom and clinical image review | Per the ACR fee schedule, paid to the ACR |
| Room shielding | Lead as the physicist's plan requires, with space for the gantry sweep on a tomosynthesis system | Quoted per project |
| Full-coverage service | Preventive maintenance, parts, labor and travel with the detector and the tube covered | Priced per year as a percentage of system value; see the service page |
| Tube replacement | The mammography tube, parts and labor | Quoted per tube; covered under a full-coverage contract |
| Detector replacement | The amorphous selenium detector, the component that ends a system's economic life | Quoted per detector; covered under a full-coverage contract |
| MQSA inspection | The annual FDA inspection every certified facility receives | Per the FDA fee schedule, paid to the FDA |
Two of these lines are law rather than preference. Every facility performing mammography in the United States must be certified under the Mammography Quality Standards Act, which requires accreditation by an FDA-approved body such as the ACR, an annual inspection and qualified technologists, radiologists and physicists, with phantom and clinical image review at accreditation and reaccreditation.
Mammography service contract cost
A mammography service contract is priced per year as a percentage of the system’s value, against the platform and its age, and the clause that decides whether a contract is complete is whether the detector and the tube are covered: those two components end a system’s economic life, and a contract that excludes them leaves the two largest risks with the owner. Our X-ray, fluoroscopy and mammography service page sets out the coverage levels, the response commitments and what a preventive maintenance visit on a mammography unit covers; contracts are quoted alongside the purchase quote.
None of this is a reason not to add mammography, and refurbished systems make the entry cost manageable; the figures above are quoted per site and the system remains the largest line by far. It is a reason to buy from a supplier that installs, calibrates and services the system and knows the MQSA paperwork, because a system that cannot pass its physics survey is not a bargain at any price. The room requirements are similar to a diagnostic X-ray room; our guide to X-ray room size and requirements covers the principles.
2D vs 3D Mammography (Tomosynthesis) vs Breast CT
The biggest decision is 2D versus 3D, and there is now a third option for facilities that want cross-sectional breast imaging without compression.
| Technology | How it works | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|
| 2D digital mammography (FFDM) | Captures flat craniocaudal and mediolateral oblique images. Reliable and lower cost, still widely used for routine screening | Community screening programs, practices adding mammography for the first time, lower volume sites |
| 3D mammography (tomosynthesis, DBT) | Takes multiple low-dose images through an arc and reconstructs them into thin layers, giving radiologists a clearer view than 2D and reducing callbacks. The current standard of care in many facilities, at a higher price | Facilities serving dense-breast populations, diagnostic centers, and any site that wants tomosynthesis-guided biopsy |
| Breast CT (Koning Vera) | A dedicated cone beam CT that images the entire breast from chest wall to nipple in a 10 second scan with no compression | Diagnostic workup, dense breasts and patients who cannot tolerate compression; a different class of system quoted on request |
Tomosynthesis improves cancer detection especially in dense breast tissue, and it is the fastest-growing segment. The National Cancer Institute mammogram fact sheet covers the clinical evidence plainly. If you are building a program from scratch, buy the 3D-capable platform even if you license tomosynthesis later: a 2D-only system can rarely be upgraded to 3D, but a tomosynthesis-ready tube and gantry can be licensed when volume justifies it.
3D mammography machine cost vs 2D
The 3D mammography machine cost premium, the tomosynthesis cost that buyers search for, is the same in both conditions: refurbished, 2D runs $40,000 to $95,000 and 3D $95,000 to $225,000; new, 2D runs $110,000 to $225,000 and 3D $235,000 to $500,000, delivered, installed and warrantied. The difference buys the tomosynthesis tube and gantry sweep, a detector fast enough for the projections, the reconstruction software and its license, and usually the biopsy and contrast options that come with the premium platforms. Tomosynthesis also carries a separate billing code (77063 as an add-on to screening), so the premium is recovered per exam in programs with the volume.
Tomosynthesis upgrade cost
A tomosynthesis upgrade is only possible on a platform built for it. On a tomosynthesis-ready system sold new by Medical Outfitters, such as the Fujifilm ASPIRE Cristalle, the option is licensed and quoted with the system or added later on the same serial number; the Planmed Clarity 2D, sold by Medical Outfitters only in Latin America and the Caribbean outside Puerto Rico, carries a tomosynthesis-ready tube, but its tomosynthesis upgrade is not for sale in the United States. An older 2D-only platform cannot be upgraded, which is why a program starting in 2D should buy the 3D-capable platform from the start. No single upgrade figure is published because the license price follows the system quote.
How Much Does a Koning Vera Breast CT Cost?
The Koning Vera is a dedicated cone beam breast CT, not a mammography unit, so it sits outside the four mammography bands and is quoted on request by Medical Outfitters as an authorized Koning breast imaging supplier. A Koning Vera breast CT cost is a configured quote rather than a list price, and these are the lines it contains, from the product page:
| Quote line | What it contains |
|---|---|
| System | The Koning Vera gantry with an integrated operator console and a self-shielding design, so no separate control room is required |
| Delivery, installation and site planning | Site planning, nationwide installation and rigging, with the room sized to a standard stereotactic room |
| Applications training | Technician training support with each install |
| Warranty and service | Service and parts warranties offered for the life of the product |
| Connectivity | DICOM images to RIS and PACS |
| Financing | A range of financing options is available |
| Price | Quoted on request; no band is published for breast CT, which is a different class of system from a mammography unit |
Siting is simpler than a mammography room in one respect and different in another: the self-shielding design means no separate control room, and the system is sized to fit a standard stereotactic room with a recommended minimum of 5.5 m by 6.0 m, but it is a CT system, so the physicist’s survey, the state radiation program’s registration and the accreditation route are handled as a breast CT installation rather than under the mammography unit’s MQSA certificate. Site planning, the electrical and HVAC review and technician training are arranged before the order ships, and we walk through the physics and accreditation questions as part of that plan.
How Much Does a Mammogram Cost? The Exam, Not the Machine
Most people searching for mammogram cost want the exam price, not the machine, so here it is beside the equipment figures. A screening mammogram is free to the patient in network under the Affordable Care Act and under Medicare Part B once every 12 months; paid out of pocket, a 2D screening mammogram runs about $100 to $250 at an imaging center, a 3D screening mammogram $150 to $350, and a diagnostic mammogram $150 to $500, with hospital outpatient departments charging $250 to $1,000 plus a facility fee, per CareRoute mammogram cost estimates (national estimates for 2026, updated 12 September 2026). The figures are national estimates; the imaging center sets the cash price.
| Exam | With insurance | Self-pay cash price |
|---|---|---|
| Screening mammogram, 2D (CPT 77067) | $0 in network under the ACA, and under Medicare Part B once every 12 months | $100 to $250 at an imaging center |
| Screening mammogram, 3D tomosynthesis (CPT 77067 with 77063) | $0 to $100; most plans and Medicare now cover 3D screening at no extra cost | $150 to $350; 3D adds about $50 to $100 over 2D |
| Diagnostic mammogram (CPT 77065 or 77066) | Deductible and coinsurance apply; Medicare Part B pays 80 percent after the deductible | $150 to $500 |
| Hospital outpatient department, any type | Plan rate plus a facility fee | $250 to $1,000 |
Patient prices, not Medical Outfitters prices; CareRoute national estimates for 2026, updated 12 September 2026.
What Medicare pays the facility is public. The 2025 national average Medicare physician fee schedule rates, global (office or freestanding) component, per Hologic’s 2025 Mammography Coding Guide, which draws on the CMS 2025 fee schedule and its $32.2465 conversion factor, are:
| CPT code | Exam | 2025 national average Medicare rate, global |
|---|---|---|
| 77067 | Screening mammography, bilateral, including CAD when performed | $124.53 |
| 77063 | Screening digital breast tomosynthesis, bilateral, add-on to 77067 | $50.78 |
| 77065 | Diagnostic mammography, unilateral, including CAD when performed | $121.95 |
| 77066 | Diagnostic mammography, bilateral, including CAD when performed | $153.65 |
| G0279 | Diagnostic digital breast tomosynthesis, add-on to 77065 or 77066 | $42.70 |
Source: Hologic, Mammography Coding Guide 2025 (MISC-03286 REV015), national averages before sequestration; 2026 rates follow the 2026 fee schedule and the local geographic adjustment, and the CMS Physician Fee Schedule look-up gives the current figure for any locality.
For the facility, those rates are the other half of the machine decision: at roughly $125 for a screening study and about $50 more for the tomosynthesis add-on, a refurbished 3D system at $150,000 pays for its tomosynthesis premium over a 2D unit in the first years of a program that reads a few thousand screening studies a year, before the diagnostic and biopsy work that 3D brings in. The breast imaging program figures above and the reimbursement here are the two sides of that calculation.
Mammography Systems We Carry
Medical Outfitters carries new mammography systems from Fujifilm as an authorized dealer, carries the Planmed Clarity systems for customers in Latin America and the Caribbean outside Puerto Rico, and is an authorized Koning breast imaging supplier:
- Fujifilm The ASPIRE Cristalle 2D and 3D system, FDA approved for full-field digital mammography and tomosynthesis, with contrast-enhanced mammography available, built around a 50 micron hexagonal direct-conversion detector, sold new by Medical Outfitters in the United States and Puerto Rico; and, for the Caribbean and the Dominican Republic, the non-FDA AMULET Sophinity 3D tomosynthesis system and the AMULET Elite 2D system, which replace the AMULET Innovality in the Medical Outfitters lineup
- Planmed Clarity The Clarity 2D and Clarity S full-field digital systems, both FDA cleared, with a dual-mode tube and modular design that let a facility add tomosynthesis and the ClarityGuide stereotactic biopsy later where the option is available, and the Clarity 3D tomosynthesis system. Medical Outfitters sells all three Clarity systems to customers in Latin America and the Caribbean outside Puerto Rico and does not sell them in the United States or Puerto Rico; the Clarity 3D is not commercially available for sale in the USA
- Koning The Koning Vera breast CT, a true 3D cone beam breast CT with no compression, with service and parts warranties offered for the life of the product
Everything currently available, with its configuration, is in the mammography machines category.
Hologic, GE and Siemens Mammography Systems on the Used Market
Hologic, GE and Siemens dominate the installed base, so they dominate the used market, and a refurbished Selenia Dimensions, Senographe Essential or MAMMOMAT Inspiration is how many clinics add mammography affordably. We source and compare these systems on request. What to check before you buy any of them:
- Detector Generation, calibration history and the most recent flat-field and phantom results. A detector nearing the end of its life turns a bargain into a replacement bill
- Tube Exposure count and the date of the last tube change
- Licences Tomosynthesis, synthesized 2D, contrast and biopsy options enabled on that serial number, and whether the manufacturer will transfer them
- Software level Whether the platform is still supported, because an unsupported system can fail its next MQSA inspection on a software issue
- Paddles and accessories The full paddle set, magnification stand and biopsy hardware, each of which is expensive to buy separately
- Compliance records QC logs, physics surveys and the accreditation history of the room it came from
A refurbished system from Medical Outfitters is stripped, renewed where it needs renewing and tested against the manufacturer specification, then delivered, installed and calibrated with a written warranty. Our used imaging equipment inspection checklist covers the survey, and if you are replacing rather than adding we also buy used mammography systems.
New Mammogram Machine Price vs Refurbished
A new mammography system offers the latest detector, 3D software and a full manufacturer warranty. A certified refurbished mammography machine delivers the same image quality for far less, fully inspected and warrantied. Refurbished 3D systems in particular are a popular way for clinics to add tomosynthesis affordably. Refurbished typically saves 40 to 60 percent versus new.
The one place new wins outright is a program that needs contrast-enhanced mammography or the newest AI workflow, because those licences are tied to current platforms. For a screening program, a refurbished tomosynthesis system with a healthy detector and a full paddle set is usually the better economics; our page on refurbished medical imaging equipment explains what the words certified, refurbished and used mean.
Breast Biopsy and Specimen Imaging
A complete breast-imaging program often pairs mammography with biopsy and specimen imaging. Medical Outfitters supplies breast biopsy systems such as the Mammotome line, and specimen imaging systems like the Kubtec Mozart for intraoperative margin assessment. Upright stereotactic and tomosynthesis-guided biopsy options on the mammography unit itself are quoted with the system. For the operating-room end of the pathway, the gamma detection system price for a Mammotome Neoprobe is in our Neoprobe cost guide, by configuration and by console generation.
Mammography Installation, MQSA Compliance and Service
Mammography systems require accreditation-compliant installation, regular QC phantom testing and MQSA-aligned service to stay certified. Medical Outfitters manages installation, calibration, service and parts, and the X-ray, fluoroscopy and mammography service page sets out the response commitments, what a preventive maintenance visit covers and how a contract is priced. Service coverage is not conditional on having bought the system from us.
- Installation Room survey, rigging, placement, calibration to manufacturer specification and coordination of the physicist’s acceptance survey before the first patient
- Preventive maintenance Detector calibration and flat-field checks, tube and generator output, compression force and thickness accuracy, mechanical checks on the gantry sweep and paddles, and the documentation your accreditation body and MQSA inspector ask for
- Repair Same-day or next-day emergency response depending on urgency and location, with priority commitments for contract clients
- Parts More than 20,000 parts in stock across MRI, CT, X-ray and more, shipped same day or next day
How to Choose the Right Mammography Machine
Match the system to your patient population, volume and whether 3D is required. Key takeaways:
- 2D digital (FFDM) for reliable, lower-cost routine screening
- 3D tomosynthesis for better detection, especially in dense breasts, and for tomosynthesis-guided biopsy
- Buy the 3D-capable platform even if you license tomosynthesis later
- Refurbished for 40 to 60 percent savings with comparable image quality, on a platform the manufacturer still supports
- Plan for biopsy, specimen imaging and reading monitors to complete the program
- Budget the MQSA side: accreditation, the physicist and the QC program are part of the cost of owning the system

- How much does a Fujifilm ASPIRE Cristalle cost?
- A new ASPIRE Cristalle is a Medical Outfitters range of $180,000 to $225,000 as a 2D system and $235,000 to $295,000 with tomosynthesis, delivered, installed and warrantied, sold new as an authorized Fujifilm dealer. Refurbished 2D units run $70,000 to $95,000 when available.
- How much does a Planmed Clarity cost?
- A new Planmed Clarity 2D runs $110,000 to $180,000 and a Clarity S $120,000 to $190,000 from Medical Outfitters, delivered, installed and warrantied, for customers in Latin America and the Caribbean outside Puerto Rico; Medical Outfitters does not sell Planmed mammography systems in the United States or Puerto Rico. The Clarity 3D tomosynthesis system, $250,000 to $380,000, is sold to the same customers and is not commercially available for sale in the USA.
- What is the difference between 2D and 3D mammography?
- 2D digital mammography captures flat images, while 3D tomosynthesis captures multiple thin layers for a clearer view, improving cancer detection especially in dense breast tissue.
- What is 3D mammography (tomosynthesis)?
- 3D mammography, or tomosynthesis, takes multiple low-dose images from different angles and reconstructs them into thin layers, giving radiologists a clearer view than 2D and reducing callbacks.
- Can a 2D mammography machine be upgraded to 3D?
- Rarely on an older 2D-only platform, because tomosynthesis needs a tube and gantry that sweep through an arc and a detector fast enough to capture the projections. Tomosynthesis-ready platforms such as the Planmed Clarity 2D and the Fujifilm ASPIRE Cristalle can have the option licensed later, which is why we recommend buying the 3D-capable platform even if you start in 2D.
- What does a mammography program cost beyond the machine?
- MQSA certification and the annual FDA inspection, accreditation by an FDA-approved body every three years, the medical physicist’s acceptance and annual surveys, the technologist QC program, a reading workstation with 5 or 12 megapixel mammography monitors, paddles and positioning aids, applications training, a service contract that covers the detector and the tube, and eventually tube and detector replacement. Room shielding follows the physicist’s plan. The program cost table on this page lists every line and how it is priced.
- Is a mammogram machine the same as a mammography machine?
- Yes. Mammography is the exam and a mammogram is the image, so a mammogram machine, a mammography machine, a mammo machine and a digital mammography machine are the same equipment: a dedicated low-dose X-ray system with a compression paddle and a breast-imaging detector, in 2D or 3D tomosynthesis form. The prices on this page apply whichever name the listing uses.
- How much does a mammogram cost?
- A screening mammogram is free to the patient in network under the Affordable Care Act and under Medicare Part B once a year. Paid out of pocket, a 2D screening mammogram runs about $100 to $250 at an imaging center and a 3D screening mammogram $150 to $350, with hospital outpatient departments charging $250 to $1,000 plus a facility fee, per CareRoute national estimates for 2026. The 2025 national average Medicare rate for a screening mammogram (CPT 77067) is $124.53, per Hologic’s 2025 coding guide.
- How much does a diagnostic mammogram cost?
- A diagnostic mammogram costs about $150 to $500 out of pocket at an imaging center and more in a hospital outpatient department, per CareRoute national estimates for 2026; with insurance the deductible and coinsurance apply, and Medicare Part B pays 80 percent after the deductible. The 2025 national average Medicare rates are $121.95 for a unilateral diagnostic study (CPT 77065) and $153.65 for a bilateral one (CPT 77066), per Hologic’s 2025 coding guide.
- How much does a 3D mammogram cost?
- A 3D mammogram (tomosynthesis) adds about $50 to $100 to a 2D mammogram when paid out of pocket, so a 3D screening study runs about $150 to $350 at an imaging center, per CareRoute national estimates for 2026; most plans and Medicare now cover 3D screening at no extra cost. Medicare pays the facility a separate add-on for the tomosynthesis (CPT 77063), $50.78 on the 2025 national average, on top of the screening mammogram rate.
- How much does a Koning Vera breast CT cost?
- The Koning Vera is quoted on request by Medical Outfitters as an authorized Koning breast imaging supplier, because it is a dedicated breast CT rather than a mammography unit and falls outside the mammography bands. The quote contains the self-shielding gantry with its integrated console, site planning and installation, technician training, lifetime service and parts warranties, DICOM connectivity and financing options; the system fits a standard stereotactic room with a recommended minimum of 5.5 m by 6.0 m.
- How much does it cost to upgrade a mammography machine to 3D?
- It depends on whether the platform was built for tomosynthesis. On a tomosynthesis-ready system such as the Fujifilm ASPIRE Cristalle the 3D option is a license quoted with the system or added later on the same serial number; the Planmed Clarity 2D, which Medical Outfitters sells only in Latin America and the Caribbean outside Puerto Rico, is tomosynthesis-ready but its upgrade is not for sale in the United States; and an older 2D-only platform cannot be upgraded at all. Where an upgrade is not possible, a refurbished 3D system at $95,000 to $225,000 is the route.
- Is a refurbished mammography machine worth it?
- Yes. A certified refurbished mammography system saves 40 to 60 percent versus new with comparable image quality, provided it is fully inspected, backed by warranty and on a platform the manufacturer still supports. Check the detector generation, tube exposure count, enabled licences and compliance records before you buy.
- What mammography brands do you carry?
- Medical Outfitters sells the Fujifilm ASPIRE Cristalle new in the United States and Puerto Rico, sells the Planmed Clarity 2D, Clarity S and Clarity 3D new to customers in Latin America and the Caribbean outside Puerto Rico and not in the United States or Puerto Rico, offers the non-FDA Fujifilm AMULET Sophinity 3D and AMULET Elite 2D systems for the Caribbean and the Dominican Republic, supplies the Koning Vera breast CT as an authorized Koning supplier, and sources refurbished Hologic, GE and Siemens systems on request.
- Do you service mammography machines you did not sell?
- Yes. Service coverage is not conditional on having bought the system from us. Our engineers install, calibrate and maintain mammography systems, coordinate the physicist’s surveys and keep the documentation your accreditation body and MQSA inspector ask for.
Medical Outfitters sells new Fujifilm mammography systems as an authorized dealer, sells Planmed Clarity systems new to customers in Latin America and the Caribbean outside Puerto Rico, supplies the Koning Vera breast CT and sources refurbished Hologic, GE and Siemens systems on request, with delivery, installation and calibration in every quote.
