While a complete brand-new digital X-ray system can cost as much as c$125,000–$235,000, there are plenty of retrofit solutions from ExamVue that cost less than half of that amount.
At ExamVue, we can fit our DR flat panel detectors onto your existing equipment for a cost of around$40,000—significantly less expensive than other options in the market.
