Toshiba Medical CT Scanner Financing

Toshiba Medical's CT line predates the Canon Medical acquisition, and the equipment that came out of that era earned a strong reputation for mechanical reliability and consistent image quality. The Aquilion 64 spent years as a reference-standard platform at imaging centers and hospitals across the United States, and units that were well-maintained during that period are still producing diagnostic-quality studies today. The secondary market for Toshiba Aquilion 64 and Aquilion Prime systems is active precisely because these machines hold their utility long past their purchase date.

We finance Toshiba Medical CT equipment across both the Aquilion 64 and Aquilion Prime platforms, new where available and pre-owned through the active secondary market. Most Toshiba deals are used CT scanner transactions, with acquisition costs that often allow facilities to obtain capable imaging equipment at significantly lower capital cost than a new platform. Minimum transaction is $50,000 and funding typically completes within one to two weeks.

The Toshiba Medical Legacy and Secondary Market

Canon Medical completed its acquisition of Toshiba Medical Systems in 2016 and has continued selling the Aquilion line under the Canon Medical brand. Equipment manufactured during the Toshiba era continues to circulate on the secondary market and at many installed sites in the United States and internationally. From a financing perspective, these systems are evaluated identically to other pre-owned CT equipment: tube hours, service history, software version compatibility, and condition determine lender appetite and advance rates.

The Aquilion 64 was positioned as a high-performance general radiology and cardiac CT platform when it was introduced, with a 64-slice detector array and rotation times that were competitive with any platform of its generation. Imaging centers that bought Aquilion 64 systems in the mid-2000s to early 2010s often ran them for twelve or more years before transitioning to newer technology. Systems that come off long-term clinical service at reputable sites and go through thorough refurbishment, including new tube and updated software, can perform reliably for additional years. Our refurbished equipment financing programs are designed for exactly these transactions.

The Aquilion Prime, released after the Canon acquisition and branded initially as Toshiba in some markets, is a more current platform with 80-slice capability and advanced iterative reconstruction. It represents a practical mid-range option for sites that want Aquilion engineering at a cost below the current Canon Aquilion Prime SP.

What Toshiba CT Deals Look Like

The majority of Toshiba Medical CT financing transactions we handle involve pre-owned equipment. Buyer profiles range from community hospitals replacing aging equipment at lower capital cost to rural and critical-access hospitals adding CT capability for the first time. Urgent care groups deploying a first CT scanner sometimes choose a refurbished Aquilion 64 because the combination of established clinical reputation and affordable cost of acquisition makes the revenue ramp easier to model.

Private-party purchases are common in the Toshiba market. A hospital decommissioning an Aquilion 64 to replace it with a newer platform will often sell the older unit directly to a buyer, and these transactions qualify for private-party purchase financing. Lenders require documentation of equipment condition, tube hours, and service history. An independent inspection from a certified biomedical engineer or ISO technician is often the most efficient way to satisfy these requirements and keep the deal moving.

If the Toshiba equipment purchase will require room modifications for shielding or electrical upgrades, those costs can often be included in the same financing transaction. Financing CT scanner installation and shielding alongside the equipment simplifies the project and reduces the number of financing arrangements you are tracking.

Typical Terms for Toshiba CT Financing

Because most Toshiba CT financing involves pre-owned equipment at lower acquisition prices, transaction sizes tend to be more modest than new OEM deals. A well-maintained Aquilion 64 purchased from a reputable reseller may close landing between $80k and $200k. A refurbished Aquilion Prime in good condition might run $150,000 to $350,000 depending on configuration and tube status.

At these price points, many transactions qualify for application-only underwriting, streamlining the process considerably. Term lengths of 48 to 72 months are common. Structure options include straightforward equipment loans, equipment finance agreements, and for eligible borrowers, operating leases. The Section 179 deduction applies to equipment finance agreements and loans taken in the year of purchase, which can produce meaningful tax benefit in the acquisition year for profitable practices.

For buyers with lower credit scores, B/C credit financing programs remain available on Toshiba equipment. Shorter terms or higher down payments sometimes structure these deals into approval territory when a standard application would not clear underwriting alone.
