## How Buying Works

1.  **Quote.** Tell us the machine (or the use case) and your state — you get matched to live inventory with all-in pricing.
2.  **Inspection report.** For used and refurbished units: tube status, phantom QC history, licensed software list, and photos before you commit.
3.  **Logistics & rigging.** Deinstallation, freight, and rigging into your room, quoted as line items — typically $2,000–$8,000 depending on distance and access.
4.  **Installation & calibration.** Setup, phantom calibration, and coordination with your physicist survey and state registration.
5.  **Applications training.** Operator training on positioning, analysis, and QC so your first client scans are billable, not practice.

### Warranty & DOA policy

Refurbished units should carry a 6–12 month parts-and-labor warranty; used as-is units at minimum a dead-on-arrival guarantee covering delivery damage and power-on. If a seller offers neither, the price needs to reflect that risk — or you should walk.

## Not Sure What to Buy?

### 1\. Clinical bone density, body composition, or both?

Bone density alone opens up the whole used market. Body composition means a central machine _with the body-comp software license_ — the [buyer's guide](/dexa-machines) explains why that license is the deal-breaker.

### 2\. How many scans per week?

Under ~20/week, a refurbished Discovery or Prodigy is hard to beat on payback. Higher volume or research-grade precision points to a Horizon or iDXA — see the [revenue math](/dexa-machines/cost).

### 3\. What's the budget?

Under $20K: used, inspected carefully. $20–45K: certified refurbished — the sweet spot. $45K+: new value-tier or flagship refurbished. Mobile screening only? See [portable units](/dexa-machines/portable).

## Buying FAQ

Can anyone buy a DEXA machine?

There's no federal license required to purchase a DEXA machine, but to operate one you must register the device with your state's radiation control program, meet operator certification rules (which vary by state), and in some states obtain a certificate of need or physician supervision arrangement. Dealers will sell to gyms, longevity clinics, and wellness studios — compliance is the buyer's responsibility.

What's a fair price for a used Hologic?

As of July 2026: a used Hologic Discovery in working condition typically trades at $12,000–$25,000, and a used Horizon at $25,000–$45,000, depending on tube life, software licenses included, and warranty. Anything far below those ranges usually signals a missing body-composition license, a tired tube, or an as-is auction unit.

Do sellers handle delivery and installation?

Reputable dealers quote deinstallation, freight, rigging, installation, and calibration as line items — expect $2,000–$8,000 total depending on distance and site access. Auction and as-is sales are usually 'buyer arranges everything.' Always get the logistics scope in writing before comparing prices.

What license do I need to operate a DEXA machine?

At minimum, device registration with your state radiation control agency. Most states additionally require operators to hold a limited X-ray or bone densitometry credential, and several require a supervising physician and periodic medical physicist surveys. Requirements differ enough by state that you should confirm before signing a purchase agreement.

**Looking to get a DEXA scan instead of buying a machine?** A professional DEXA scan costs $100–$250 (from $99 at many partner clinics), takes about 10 minutes, and requires no referral.
