How to Sell a CT Scanner: A Step-by-Step Guide

Tube life and slice count set the price. Here's the full, step-by-step way to sell a CT scanner cleanly.

Selling a CT is more straightforward than an MRI — there's no magnet or cryogen — but the X-ray tube is everything. Here's the full process.

Step 1: Know your tube

The CT tube is the most expensive wear part, and its remaining life is the single biggest factor in value. Pull the tube's usage data from your service records before you list or quote — buyers will ask.

Step 2: Gather the specs buyers want

  • Slice count and model — matched to the buyer's case mix.
  • Software and licenses — what's included and what transfers.
  • Service history — recent PMs and any major repairs.

Step 3: Get a firm number

Send the make, model, and tube status and you'll get a firm cash figure, usually within 24 hours — valued against live market demand, not a stale price sheet.

Step 4: Removal and payment

When we buy it, we handle de-installation, freight, and shipping, and pay certified funds before we lift a thing. A CT de-install is less involved than an MRI, but it's still a coordinated rigging and freight job best left to a crew.

What lowers a used CT scanner's value?
A worn or low-life X-ray tube is the biggest value hit, followed by age, model generation, and missing software or licenses.
Do you remove the CT too?
Yes — when we buy it, we handle de-install, freight and shipping as part of the deal.
How do I know my CT tube's condition?
