How Much Does a Used GE Discovery 630 NM Cost in 2026?
The GE Discovery 630 NM is one of the most popular dual-head gamma camera nuclear medicine systems on the refurbished market. It is a SPECT-only system and does not include CT. Pricing in 2026 is driven by year of manufacture, collimator package, software options and refurbishment scope.
2026 used Discovery 630 NM price ranges
| Configuration | Year | Typical refurbished price |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery 630 NM, LEHR + MEGP collimators | 2014–2017 | $110,000 – $170,000 |
| Discovery 630 NM, full collimator package | 2017–2020 | $150,000 – $220,000 |
| Discovery 630 NM with cardiac package | 2017–2020 | $180,000 – $260,000 |
What drives Discovery 630 NM price
- Year of manufacture
- Collimator package (LEHR, MEGP, HEGP, fan-beam)
- Cardiac SPECT software options
- Xeleris workstation version and installed NM applications
- QC reports and uniformity / COR results
- Refurbishment scope, warranty and installation
When to step up to the NM/CT 670
If your program needs integrated diagnostic CT for attenuation-corrected SPECT, fan-beam collimation or higher automation, step up to the Discovery NM/CT 670 (true SPECT/CT). For general nuclear medicine, oncology, bone and renal studies without on-board CT, the Discovery 630 NM remains the best-value dual-head gamma camera on the refurbished market.
Where the Discovery 630 sits in the GE model family
The Discovery 630 is the NM-only anchor of GE's dual-head NaI family. Knowing how it relates to the other models helps frame budget, lifecycle and upgrade paths:
- Discovery 630 — dual-head NM / SPECT system, no CT.
- Discovery 670 — SPECT/CT system with integrated CT.
- Discovery 830 — newer generation of the 630 with software and workflow improvements; still NM / SPECT only, no CT.
- Discovery 870 — newer generation equivalent of the 670; includes CT.
- Optima NM/CT 640 — SPECT/CT system with CT.
| Model | Category | Integrated CT | Generation | Refurb availability (2026) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Discovery 630 | NM / SPECT | No | Current generation | Widely available |
| Discovery 830 | NM / SPECT | No | Newer generation of 630 | Limited today, expected to grow |
| Optima NM/CT 640 | SPECT/CT | Yes | Entry SPECT/CT | Available |
| Discovery 670 | SPECT/CT | Yes (16-slice) | Current generation | Widely available |
| Discovery 870 | SPECT/CT | Yes | Newer generation of 670 | Limited today, expected to grow |
Availability of the Discovery 830 and 870 on the used market
Used Discovery 830 and Discovery 870 systems are currently less common on the secondary market — the installed base is younger and most units are still in active clinical use. Availability of refurbished 830 and 870 systems is expected to increase over the coming years as trade-ins and fleet upgrades release more inventory. For now, the Discovery 630 NM and Discovery NM/CT 670 remain the most accessible refurbished options in this family.
Frequently asked questions
- How much is a used GE Discovery 630 NM in 2026?
- A refurbished GE Discovery 630 NM in 2026 typically sells between $110,000 and $220,000 depending on year, collimator package, software and refurbishment scope. Cardiac-equipped configurations trade closer to $180,000–$260,000. The Discovery 630 is nuclear medicine / SPECT only — it does not include CT.
- What collimators come with the Discovery 630 NM?
- Most refurbished Discovery 630 NM systems ship with LEHR (low-energy high-resolution) and MEGP (medium-energy general-purpose) collimators. HEGP and additional cardiac collimators are available on request.
- Is the Discovery 630 NM still supported by GE?
- Yes. GE Healthcare and the third-party service market support the Discovery 630 NM worldwide with parts availability, software updates and on-site service contracts.
- Does the GE Discovery 630 include CT?
