This has an impact on the rate at which new systems are adopted, particularly in developing nations. Because their budgets are limited, most small and medium-sized hospitals cannot afford these systems. Because of the high cost of digital X-ray systems, end users are more likely to purchase reconditioned systems, which directly impacts new and advanced system sales.
