Your Complete Guide to Diagnostic Imaging Solutions
Used Ultrasound Machine
At Agito Medical, we've been helping healthcare providers find the perfect imaging solutions since 2004. With over 20 years of experience in the medical equipment industry, we understand that every facility has different needs.
That's why we offer a comprehensive range of ultrasound machines, from cutting-edge systems to cost-effective refurbished units that deliver the same diagnostic quality you'd expect from brand-new equipment.
What is an ultrasound machine?
An ultrasound machine, also called an ultrasound device or sonography system, uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of internal body structures. Unlike other imaging modalities such as used MRI machines or used CT scanners, ultrasound doesn't use ionizing radiation, making it particularly safe for pregnant patients and routine examinations.
Technology has evolved significantly over the past decade. Today's ultrasound equipment offers exceptional image quality, advanced Doppler capabilities, and specialized applications ranging from cardiac imaging to musculoskeletal diagnostics.

Types of ultrasound machines – Finding your perfect fit
Obstetrics and gynaecology (OB/GYN) represent one of the most common applications for ultrasound imaging. OB/GYN systems rely on specialised probes for transvaginal and transabdominal scanning, supporting clear fetal imaging and routine prenatal monitoring. Used OB/GYN ultrasound equipment from facilities upgrading their technology offers access to reliable imaging at competitive prices.
Echocardiography systems capture the heart's movements and structures in real time. Specialised Doppler capabilities allow clinicians to assess heart function, valve performance and blood flow patterns. When sourcing used cardiac ultrasound equipment, probe availability and overall system condition are important considerations that influence long-term reliability.
GI-focused ultrasound systems support imaging of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas and wider abdominal anatomy. These versatile systems serve gastroenterology departments, internal medicine practices and general diagnostic imaging centres. Used GI ultrasound equipment provides a cost-effective option for facilities looking to add or upgrade their abdominal imaging capability.
Small parts and musculoskeletal ultrasound systems deliver high-resolution imaging of superficial structures, soft tissues and joints. Common applications include diagnostic assessment and ultrasound-guided injections across sports medicine, orthopaedics and pain management. Portable configurations are well suited to practices that need to move equipment between examination rooms or clinical settings.
The right choice of system depends on a facility's primary clinical applications, probe requirements and portability needs. Total cost of ownership, including maintenance and replacement parts, is another factor worth considering when comparing options. Used ultrasound equipment offers healthcare facilities access to proven imaging technology while helping to optimise capital expenditure.

Understanding ultrasound machine cost factors
The cost of an ultrasound machine varies significantly based on several key factors. Understanding these can help you make a more informed purchasing decision.
New ultrasound machine pricing
Brand-new ultrasound systems typically range from $30,000 to $150,000 or more, depending on their capabilities and target applications. High-end cardiac or 4D imaging systems command premium prices, while basic portable units start at more accessible price points.
Used ultrasound machine advantages
This is where used medical equipment becomes particularly attractive. Quality refurbished ultrasound machines can cost 30-70% less than new systems while delivering comparable diagnostic performance. The cost savings open doors to premium models that might otherwise stretch your budget beyond comfort.
What makes refurbished equipment even more appealing is the speed of deployment. While new systems often have lengthy lead times, quality used ultrasound machines are typically available immediately. You're also investing in proven technology – these systems have demonstrated their reliability in real-world clinical environments.
At Agito Medical, our refurbished ultrasound machines undergo rigorous testing and quality assurance processes. Every system is restored to original manufacturer specifications, ensuring you get reliable performance at a fraction of the new equipment cost.
Essential ultrasound machine components
Ultrasound probes – The heart of imaging
The ultrasound probe (or transducer) is arguably the most critical component of any ultrasound system. Different probes are designed for specific applications:
- Linear probes excel at superficial structure imaging
- Convex probes provide excellent abdominal imaging
- Cardiac probes offer specialized heart imaging capabilities
- Endocavitary probes enable specialized internal examinations
When evaluating ultrasound equipment, consider the probe selection available. Having the right probe for your specific applications is crucial for diagnostic success and determines the versatility of your investment.
Software and processing options
Modern ultrasound devices incorporate sophisticated software that enhances image quality, automates measurements, and provides specialized analysis tools.
Features like contrast enhancement, 3D/4D imaging, and artificial intelligence-assisted diagnostics can significantly impact your clinical capabilities and workflow efficiency.
Maintenance and support considerations
Like other imaging equipment, including MRI machines and CT scanners, ultrasound machines require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance. Preventive maintenance schedules help catch issues before they become costly problems, while having reliable access to medical equipment parts means repairs happen quickly when needed.
Equally important is responsive technical support. When equipment issues arise, fast response times can mean the difference between minor disruption and extended downtime. Comprehensive training ensures your staff can operate equipment safely and efficiently, while ongoing user support helps maximize your investment's potential.
At Agito Medical, we understand that equipment downtime directly impacts patient care. That's why we offer comprehensive support services, from installation and training to ongoing maintenance and parts supply, ensuring your investment continues delivering results.
The future of ultrasound technology
Ultrasound technology continues to advance rapidly. Artificial intelligence integration, improved portable capabilities, and enhanced imaging algorithms are making these systems more powerful and user-friendly than ever.
AI-assisted image optimization is quickly becoming standard, helping clinicians achieve better diagnostic accuracy with fewer manual adjustments. Meanwhile, cloud-based storage and sharing capabilities are transforming workflow efficiency by enabling instant collaboration between specialists regardless of location.
Perhaps most exciting is how portable devices are bridging the traditional gap with cart-based systems, offering near-equivalent image quality in compact formats. This convergence is complemented by seamless integration with electronic health records, which streamlines documentation and reduces administrative burden.
The Bottom Line: Whether you choose new or refurbished, portable or cart-based, the right ultrasound machine can transform your diagnostic capabilities while fitting your budget.

The future of ultrasound technology
Consider ultrasound rental when:
- Testing new technology before purchase
- Handling temporary capacity increases
- Managing equipment during service periods
- Supporting mobile or temporary clinics
Purchase makes sense for:
- Regular, ongoing diagnostic needs
- Established facilities with stable patient volumes
- Long-term cost efficiency considerations
FAQ
