Flexible Solutions for Modern Diagnostics
Used CT Scanner
When you're facing the decision to acquire a CT scanner, you're looking at one of the most critical investments your healthcare facility will make. At Agito Medical, we've spent over two decades helping healthcare providers make smart decisions about medical equipment.
With 60 units in our fleet and extensive experience across Europe and beyond, we've seen firsthand how the right CT scanner can transform a facility's diagnostic capabilities.
What exactly is a CT scanner?
A CT scanner (computed tomography scanner) is one of the most valuable diagnostic tools in modern medicine. This sophisticated CT scanner machine uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body, allowing physicians to see inside patients without invasive procedures.
While a traditional X-ray gives you a flat, two-dimensional image like a shadow, a CT scan provides hundreds of thin "slices" that can be stacked together to create a complete three-dimensional picture of what's happening inside your patient.
CT technology has fundamentally changed medical practice across multiple specialties. The speed of modern CT scanners is equally important, with chest scans completed in under 30 seconds.
When hospitals lose access to their CT scanners due to breakdowns, they can face revenue losses of nearly $300,000 per year due to imaging equipment downtime. Emergency patients may need transfer to other facilities, scheduled procedures get postponed, and referring physicians lose confidence in your capabilities.

What CT scanner options are there?
New equipment path
Purchasing a brand-new CT scan machine offers manufacturer warranties, access to the latest software features, and first-owner confidence. However, this path requires substantial capital investment depending on the system's capabilities.
Refurbished solution
Refurbished CT scanners represent perhaps the most compelling option for many facilities. These aren't simply used machines with a fresh coat of paint. At Agito Medical, the refurbishment process involves diagnostic testing, replacement of worn parts, software upgrades, cosmetic restoration and safety testing.
This process transforms pre-owned units into reliable and high-performance machines that meet original manufacturer specifications while offering significant cost savings and supporting environmental sustainability.
Rental solution
Renting a CT scanner offers facilities the flexibility to access advanced imaging technology without the long-term financial commitment of ownership. This option is ideal for temporary capacity increases, short-term projects, or when evaluating equipment before purchase.
With Agito Medical’s rental services, units are delivered fully tested, maintained to manufacturer standards, and supported by our technical team, ensuring uninterrupted performance and predictable monthly costs.

Understanding CT scanner technology
Modern CT scanners come in various configurations, from 16-slice systems suited for everyday use to advanced 128-slice or higher systems capable of cardiac and vascular imaging. The "slice" refers to how many cross-sectional images the machine captures per rotation, with higher slice counts allowing faster scans and greater detail.
Key components
Every CT scan machine consists of several essential components:
X-ray tube – Generates the X-rays used to scan the body
Detector array – Captures X-rays after they pass through the patient
Patient table – Moves the patient through the scanner
Computer system – Reconstructs the data into diagnostic images
Modern CT scanners often include advanced low dose-reduction capabilities that improve patient safety while preserving image clarity. Some also offer dual-energy capabilities to reveal tissue composition and artificial intelligence tools that assist radiologists in detecting anomalies with greater confidence.

What to look for when you buy a CT scanner
When you buy a CT scanner, evaluate these critical factors:
Service History – Request complete maintenance records and any major repairs and replacements
Software Version – Ensure the system runs current software that's compatible with your network and workflow
Parts Availability – Verify that replacement parts remain available and affordable for the specific model
Compliance – Confirm the system meets current regulatory requirements in your region
Warranty and Support – Look for comprehensive warranty coverage and ongoing technical support
Decoding CT scan machine pricing
Understanding CT scan machine price structures helps you make informed decisions that align with your facility's financial reality.
Factors affecting CT scanner pricing
The price of a CT scanner depends on several key factors: Newer models with advanced software and dose reduction features are more expensive but offer better diagnostics. Higher slice counts allow faster, more detailed scans—at a higher cost.
Well-maintained systems with full service records are more reliable and priced accordingly. Major brands like Siemens, GE, Philips, and Canon tend to hold value. Accessories such as injector, patient tables, and workstation software packages can significantly increase the total price.
