What drives GE PET/CT price
- Detector generation (digital SiPM vs PMT vs BGO)
- Number of detector rings and axial field of view
- CT slice count (16 / 64 / 128)
- Tube model and remaining tube life (mAs, scan seconds)
- Software version and installed reconstruction options (Q.Clear, SharpIR, MotionFree)
- Year of manufacture and total patient exams
- Refurbishment scope, warranty and applications training
- Logistics: location, rigging, shipping and on-site installation
Installation, shipping and total project cost
Plan for an additional 8–15 % on top of the scanner price for international shipping, rigging, site survey, installation, applications training and acceptance testing. Domestic US installations are typically in the lower half of that range.
