problem with Lumafield is their pricing. Last time I checked with them. They don't sell the CT machine. It was a lease/subscription at yearly cost of $75,000. It was not justified for what we are doing.

But a conventional CT scanner costs $300k-$1m plus $50-100k per year for software licenses and maintenance contract. Lumafield’s basically giving you the entire system for just the annual software/support cost on an older-style machine. My company is considering one and it’s a more attractive model once you start comparing realistic costs.
