CT system designs have continually advanced in technology providing more detailed diagnostic information. These advancements have challenged the design capabilities of many of the components in the scanners from the gantry and generator to the X-ray tube. The X-ray tube design has changed to meet these new requirements and the cost of these tubes has increased accordingly. However, as a result of reduced reimbursements operating budgets are under increased scrutiny.

As CT technology advanced, many older CT systems were retired in favor of these newer and more advanced systems. Components such as the X-ray tubes are recycled back into the imaging community with the expectation of reducing operating costs of these newer systems. The effectiveness of this decision depends on many parameters. But, will a used tube really pay off in the long term?

New Tubes Offer Greater Overall Value, Economy and Performance in the Long Run.

If you are considering purchasing a used/reconditioned/pre-owned tube for your next replacement, think twice. The allure of short-term savings may seem like a good choice, but buying new replacement tubes offers substantially more long-term benefits. And when you consider the additional benefit of 24/7 customer care over the life of the tube, new is always better than used.
