Buying guides, product comparisons, price estimates, and sourcing advice specific to ct scanners. Neutral, procurement-literate research with sources.
*Equipment list prices range from ~$90,000 for a refurbished entry-level system to well over $2 million for a cutting-edge 320-slice or photon-counting scanner. Every number in between is real — and explainable. This article draws on publicly available manufacturer tiers, seconda
Computed tomography (CT) scanners are Class II diagnostic imaging systems that use rotating X-ray sources and detector arrays to produce cross-sectional images for trauma, oncology, cardiac, neurological, and pulmonary indications. Buyers range from rural critical-access hospitals replacing a 16-slice workhorse to academic medical centers procuring photon-counting CT (PCCT). The FDA recently cleared the Naeotom Alpha class of photon-counting CT scanners, including the Naeotom Alpha.Prime, the first single-source PCCT scanner, with a scan speed of 345 mm/sec for inpatient, ER, and ambulatory settings , and GE HealthCare received FDA 510(k) clearance for Photonova Spectra, its photon-counting CT system — making 2025–2026 a meaningful inflection point for capital planning.
Not all vendors in the CT scanner space sell scanners. Three of the six listed here do: [Nati Supply](/directory/nati-supply) covers new units, refurbished systems, and service contracts with stated nationwide reach — making it a logical first call if you want to compare options
