A Mobile X-Ray (DR) is a portable diagnostic imaging system that uses a digital radiography (DR) flat panel detector to capture X-ray images directly, without the need for film or cassettes. It is used by radiographers and trained medical staff at the patient's bedside in intensive care units (ICU), emergency rooms, operating theatres, and general wards, eliminating the need to transport critically ill or immobile patients to the main radiology department. This dramatically reduces patient risk, speeds up diagnosis for conditions like pneumonia, fractures, or line placements, and improves workflow efficiency within your hospital.
Mobile X-Ray (DR) systems in Nigeria range from NGN 15-25 million for reliable refurbished units to over NGN 80 million for new, high-end models from brands like GE or Siemens. The final price you pay is driven by several factors beyond the base unit. Key cost drivers include the generator power (kW rating), the type and size of the DR detector, battery performance, brand reputation, and whether it's new or refurbished. Additional costs that must be factored in are foreign exchange (FX) rates at the time of purchase, international freight, customs clearance, local logistics, installation, mandatory NNRA registration, application training for your staff, and the length of the warranty. Always demand a line-item quote to see exactly what you are paying for.

The cheapest Mobile X-Ray (DR) units in Nigeria start from NGN 12-18 million for basic, older refurbished models with limited warranties. These are typically analog mobile units retrofitted with a third-party DR panel. While the initial price is low, you must be cautious about hidden costs. The warranty is often limited to 3-6 months and may not cover the most expensive components like the X-ray tube or detector. Furthermore, the lowest quotes frequently exclude critical costs like a suitable UPS, shipping from Lagos to your site, professional installation, and mandatory calibration, which can add another NGN 2-4 million to your total expense.
Contact Franance to understand the total cost of ownership before committing to a seemingly cheap option.
An affordable Mobile X-Ray (DR) system is a best-value bundle that costs between NGN 25-45 million and includes the unit, professional installation, user training, a 12-month comprehensive warranty, and a correctly specified power protection system (UPS/stabilizer).

The best Mobile X-Ray (DR) systems for high-volume Nigerian hospitals are typically new models from GE Healthcare, such as the Optima XR220amx, or Siemens, like the MOBILETT Elara Max, with prices starting from NGN 65 million. For mid-sized private hospitals and diagnostic centres, a robust refurbished unit from these same brands or a new system from reliable manufacturers like Carestream (e.g., DRX-Revolution) or FujiFilm (e.g., FDR Go PLUS) offers the best balance of performance and cost, typically in the NGN 35-55 million range. For smaller clinics or facilities with budget constraints, a professionally refurbished GE AMX series unit retrofitted with a new DR panel provides a reliable entry-point from NGN 20-30 million.
Comparing Mobile X-Ray (DR) models requires looking beyond the brand name to specific technical capabilities that match your clinical needs and operational environment. High-power generators (40kW+) reduce exposure times, which is critical for pediatric and ICU patients, while lighter, more maneuverable units are better for navigating crowded wards. Battery technology is also crucial; modern Lithium-ion batteries offer longer life and faster charging than traditional lead-acid types, reducing downtime.
| Tier | Best for | Key Specs | Lead-time | Maintenance | Power Needs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Entry | Clinics, Small Hospitals | 20-30kW generator, single detector, basic software | 4-8 weeks (Refurb) | Annual PM, battery checks | 15A socket, 3-5kVA UPS |
| Mid-Range | General Hospitals, NGOs | 32-40kW generator, high-res detector, enhanced software | 8-12 weeks (New) | Bi-annual PM, remote diagnostics | 15A socket, 5-7.5kVA UPS |
| Advanced | Teaching/Tertiary Hospitals | 40-50kW generator, advanced imaging (e.g., Tomosynthesis), full PACS integration | 12-16 weeks (New) | OEM service contract, proactive monitoring | 15A socket, 7.5-10kVA UPS |
The best Mobile X-Ray (DR) brands in Nigeria are GE Healthcare, Siemens Healthineers, and Philips, due to their proven reliability, robust build quality, and, most importantly, established local service support networks. Models like the GE Optima XR series and Siemens MOBILETT series are industry benchmarks known for their excellent image quality and durability in demanding environments. While they command a premium price, their long-term reliability and the availability of trained engineers and genuine spare parts in Nigeria provide a lower total cost of ownership. For value-focused buyers, brands like Carestream and FujiFilm offer competitive performance with growing support networks in the country.
A Mobile X-Ray (DR) price list in Nigeria is presented in ranges to account for custom configurations, fluctuating exchange rates, and included services. You should expect to see quotes structured by tiers:
When you receive a quote, look at what's included in that range. A NGN 30 million quote that includes a 10kVA UPS, training, and a 1-year warranty is better value than a NGN 27 million quote for the machine alone. For example, a hospital in Kano might see a 5-7% higher final cost than a hospital in Lagos for the same machine due to inland logistics and engineer travel costs. Always ask for a detailed breakdown to understand the value behind the price.
The most decisive Mobile X-Ray (DR) specifications are the generator power (kW), the detector technology (Csl vs. Gadox), battery performance, and the physical maneuverability of the unit. A higher generator power, for instance, 40kW versus 20kW, allows for shorter exposure times, which is critical for reducing motion artifacts in pediatric or trauma patients and enables imaging of larger body parts with greater clarity. The detector's material, Cesium Iodide (CsI), offers higher image quality at a lower radiation dose compared to Gadolinium Oxysulfide (Gadox), a crucial factor for patient safety, especially in neonatal units.
A standard Mobile X-Ray (DR) installation in Nigeria takes 2-3 days and costs between NGN 400,000 and NGN 1,500,000, depending on location and complexity. The process is turnkey, starting with a site readiness assessment to ensure you have the correct power outlets and a secure storage location. On delivery day, engineers will uncrate the unit, perform hardware and software setup, and connect it to your hospital's network/PACS. The most critical step is calibration, where the engineer uses specialized phantoms and a dose meter to ensure the machine is producing accurate radiation output and optimal image quality. This is followed by application training for your radiographers.
Franance provides complete turnkey installation for all Mobile X-Ray (DR) systems, managing everything from power assessment and logistics to final calibration and NNRA documentation, ensuring your system is clinically ready from day one.
Delivery of a Mobile X-Ray (DR) system to your facility in Nigeria typically takes 6-12 weeks for new units and 4-8 weeks for refurbished units from the date of payment confirmation. The cost, which can range from 5% to 15% of the equipment's value, covers international air/sea freight, Nigerian customs clearance, and insured inland transportation. The process involves securing import permits, navigating port authorities (e.g., Apapa port), and managing last-mile delivery with specialised vehicles to prevent damage. A key risk is customs delays, which a supplier with strong local logistics experience can mitigate effectively.
A standard warranty for a new Mobile X-Ray (DR) in Nigeria is 12 months, while refurbished units typically come with a 6-month warranty. This should cover all parts and labour, but you must verify if it includes engineer travel costs. A comprehensive service contract post-warranty can cost 8-12% of the equipment's value annually. The key difference is between an OEM-backed warranty (serviced by the manufacturer's certified local partner) and a vendor-only warranty. An OEM-backed warranty guarantees access to genuine parts and the latest software updates. A good Service Level Agreement (SLA) should promise a 48-hour on-site response time for critical failures.
Refurbished Mobile X-Ray (DR) systems are available in Nigeria and range from NGN 18-35 million, offering a 40-60% cost saving compared to new units. These are typically systems from top brands like GE, Siemens, or Philips that have been professionally restored. Look for "cosmetic," "functional," or "full" refurbishment grades. A full refurbishment involves stripping the unit down, replacing key components like batteries and cables, recalibrating everything to OEM standards, and often pairing it with a brand-new DR detector. Always demand the refurbishment report, which details the work done and certifies performance.
To verify you are buying an original Mobile X-Ray (DR), you must validate the serial number directly with the manufacturer and purchase only from an authorised distributor. Red flags for fake or grey-market equipment include an unusually low price, a supplier who cannot provide an official Letter of Authorisation from the OEM, and missing or tampered-with serial number plates on the machine. Before making a final payment, request the serial numbers of the main unit, the X-ray tube, and the DR detector. You can then contact the manufacturer's regional office (e.g., GE Healthcare Africa) to confirm the numbers are legitimate and that the unit is designated for the Nigerian market.
The most essential accessories for a Mobile X-Ray (DR) system are a high-quality lead apron (NGN 80,000 - 150,000), a mobile DR detector holder, and positioning aids. While the system itself has few consumables, you will need ongoing supplies of sterile detector bags/covers to maintain infection control, especially in the ICU and theatre. It is most cost-effective to bundle these accessories into the initial purchase of the main unit. This ensures you get compatible items and can often negotiate a better price than buying them separately later.
A Mobile X-Ray (DR) system requires a stable 220-240V, 50Hz power supply from a dedicated 15-amp wall socket for charging. Due to the unreliable power grid in Nigeria, a medical-grade online double-conversion UPS is not optional—it is mandatory. A 5-10kVA UPS is typically required to protect the sensitive electronics from surges, sags, and outages, which can damage the detector or control console, leading to repairs costing upwards of NGN 8 million. You must also ensure your facility has a properly earthed electrical system and a reliable backup generator to keep the unit charged and ready for use 24/7.
To operate a Mobile X-Ray (DR) system legally in Nigeria, you must comply with regulations from the Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NNRA). This is the most critical compliance step. The process involves applying for a License to Import, a License to Install, and finally, a License to Operate the equipment. Your supplier should guide you through this, providing the necessary technical documentation. Additionally, the equipment should meet Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) requirements for electrical safety, and while not always enforced for this device type, having NAFDAC registration for the device provides an extra layer of assurance.
Financing for Mobile X-Ray (DR) systems in Nigeria is available through commercial bank loans, specialised asset leasing companies, and integrated procurement partners like Franance. Bank loans typically require 20-30% equity contribution, significant collateral, and come with interest rates of 25-30% per annum, with an approval timeline of 4-8 weeks. Leasing is a faster alternative that may not require as much collateral but can have higher effective interest rates. Franance offers tailored financing solutions with more flexible terms, bundling the cost of the equipment, installation, and service into a single, manageable payment plan, often with faster approval times than traditional banks.
The total cost of ownership (TCO) for a Mobile X-Ray (DR) in Nigeria over a 5-year period is typically 1.5 to 2 times the initial purchase price. For a unit purchased at NGN 40 million, the 5-year TCO could be NGN 60-75 million. This includes the initial capital outlay plus operational costs like annual service contracts (NGN 3-4 million/year after warranty), potential X-ray tube or detector replacement (NGN 8-15 million), power (UPS battery replacement every 2-3 years), and personnel training. Choosing a reliable brand with strong local support may have a higher initial price but often results in a lower TCO due to less downtime and cheaper, more accessible spare parts.
Tertiary hospitals require high-performance, durable Mobile X-Ray (DR) systems like the GE Optima XR220amx or Siemens MOBILETT Elara Max. Key specifications are a powerful generator (40-50kW) for excellent image quality on all patient types, long-lasting lithium-ion batteries to survive long and busy shifts, and a large, high-resolution detector. Seamless integration with the hospital's PACS/RIS is non-negotiable for efficient workflow.
Private clinics and diagnostic centres should focus on a balance of performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. A new system from a brand like Carestream (e.g., DRX-Revolution Nano) or a professionally refurbished late-model unit from GE or Siemens is ideal. A 32kW generator is sufficient for most examinations, and a wireless detector is essential for operational flexibility. Look for suppliers who can provide a turnkey package including a UPS and a solid 12-month warranty.
NGOs and mobile health programs need extremely robust and durable Mobile X-Ray (DR) systems designed for harsh environments. Key features are a rugged build, a small physical footprint for transport in vans or trucks, and excellent battery life. Some models are specifically designed for field use with features like enhanced shock absorption. A system with a simple user interface is also beneficial for use by teams with varied technical skills.
For emergency, theatre, and ICU use, maneuverability, speed, and infection control are paramount. The best systems have a small turning radius, a collapsible column for better visibility while driving, and smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces. Instant image preview on the console is critical for making immediate clinical decisions, such as confirming endotracheal tube placement or checking for pneumothorax. A system with a built-in detector charging slot and storage is also highly advantageous in these fast-paced environments.

A reliable supplier will have factory-trained engineers and can provide proof of NNRA licensing for importation and service, ensuring your equipment is compliant and well-maintained.
You can get financing through asset financing companies, commercial banks, or specialized healthcare lenders. Platforms like Franance connect you directly with multiple lenders who understand medical equipment financing for acquiring units like the Fuji FDR Go PLUS. This simplifies the application process, with typical repayment tenors of 24-48 months after submitting your CAC documents and business plan.
Yes, you can lease a mobile X-ray DR machine, which is a good option for managing cash flow. Leasing agreements typically run for 36 to 60 months and include maintenance. A hospital in Kano might lease a Carestream DRX-Revolution to avoid a large upfront capital outlay. This allows you to access modern technology while paying a fixed monthly fee, which often covers service and repairs.
Focus on the generator power (kW), detector type (e.g., Cesium Iodide for better image quality), and battery life. A unit with at least 32kW, like the Siemens MOBILETT Elara Max, is ideal for penetrating denser anatomy. Also, check for a lightweight, ergonomic design for easy maneuverability in tight ICU spaces and a large touchscreen display for quick image review at the bedside.
Installation and commissioning of a mobile DR X-ray machine typically take 1 to 2 days. The process involves uncrating, system assembly, initial power-up, and quality assurance tests by a certified engineer. For a model like the GE AMX 240, the supplier's engineer will also conduct a half-day applications training for your radiographers on-site to ensure proper use from day one.
Most mobile DR X-ray units require a standard 220-240V, 13A or 15A single-phase power outlet for charging. The Siemens MOBILETT Elara Max features a battery that can last for up to 200 exposures on a full charge, making it resilient to power fluctuations. Ensure your facility has a dedicated, properly earthed socket with a voltage stabilizer to protect the machine's sensitive electronics.
A refurbished unit is often better for a new or budget-conscious clinic, while a new unit is ideal for a high-volume hospital. A refurbished GE AMX 240 from a reputable vendor offers 70-80% of the functionality of a new machine at about 50% of the cost. A new Carestream DRX-Revolution provides the latest technology and a full manufacturer's warranty, ensuring maximum uptime for critical care environments.
The best and most widely supported brands in Nigeria are Siemens, GE Healthcare, Philips, and Carestream. Siemens' MOBILETT series is known for its durability and image quality. GE's AMX series is a workhorse found in many federal medical centres. Carestream's DRX-Revolution is praised for its maneuverability. Choosing one of these ensures better access to spare parts and qualified engineers in cities like Lagos and Abuja.
The Siemens MOBILETT Elara Max is a more modern, premium unit with superior ergonomics, a lighter design, and advanced software features like a secure Lodox scanner for dose reduction. The GE AMX 240 is an older, robust, and more affordable workhorse, valued for its reliability and straightforward operation. For a high-volume ICU, the Elara Max offers better workflow efficiency, while the AMX 240 is a cost-effective choice for general ward use.
The Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NNRA) requires you to first obtain an Import Permit before the machine arrives. After installation, you must apply for a License to Operate, which involves submitting machine specifications, radiation safety plans, and proof of a qualified Radiation Safety Officer (RSO). An NNRA inspection of your facility in Port Harcourt, for instance, is required before the final license is issued, a process that can take 4-8 weeks.
No, you do not need a separate Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) certification for the X-ray machine itself if it is imported as a complete medical device. Medical devices are primarily regulated by NAFDAC for registration and the NNRA for radiation safety. However, components like the power supply or accompanying electronics may require SONCAP if imported separately, which your supplier should handle.
A mobile DR X-ray should undergo a full calibration and preventive maintenance check by a qualified engineer at least once a year. This includes checking the kVp and mAs accuracy, collimator alignment, and detector sensitivity. Regular quality control checks, such as flat-field calibrations, should be performed by your radiographers weekly or monthly as recommended for your specific model, like the Agfa DR 100e.
A standard maintenance contract includes one or two annual preventive maintenance (PM) visits, priority response for breakdowns (within 24-48 hours), and coverage for labor costs. For a Philips MobileDiagnost wDR, a comprehensive contract would also cover major parts like the X-ray tube and detector, offering peace of mind. Basic contracts may only cover PM and labor, leaving you to pay for expensive replacement parts.
First, perform a flat-field calibration to correct detector artifacts. If images are noisy, check your exposure technique (kVp/mAs) and ensure a stable power supply during exposure. For blurriness, check for patient motion or vibration of the machine's arm. On a Carestream DRX-Revolution, you can run the built-in image quality phantom test to diagnose issues with the detector or software before calling an engineer.
The primary causes are improper charging cycles and frequent use in high-temperature environments, common in many Nigerian hospitals. Not allowing the batteries to fully charge or constantly leaving the unit plugged in can degrade battery life. For a GE AMX unit, ensure it is charged in a well-ventilated area and unplugged once the charge indicator shows full. Using a voltage stabilizer also protects the charging system from power surges.
First, secure funding and select a unit like the Fuji FDR Go PLUS (4-6 weeks). Next, prepare the site with adequate charging points and storage (1 week). Obtain an NNRA import permit (2-4 weeks). After delivery, the supplier installs and commissions the unit (2 days). Finally, conduct user training for radiographers and establish workflow protocols with ICU and ward staff (1 week). The entire process takes approximately 8-12 weeks.
You need a clear path of at least 1 meter wide in hallways and around patient beds for safe operation. For storage, a dedicated, secure room or alcove of about 2 meters by 3 meters is sufficient. This space should have a dedicated 13A/15A socket for charging. The compact design of a model like the Agfa DR 100e makes it suitable for facilities with limited space.
The standard warranty period for a new mobile X-ray DR machine in Nigeria is 12 months. This typically covers all parts and labor. Some suppliers may offer an extended 24-month warranty as part of a promotional package for models like the Siemens MOBILETT Elara Max. Always clarify if the DR detector, the most expensive component, has the same warranty period as the rest of the system.
Ask the supplier for a Letter of Authorization directly from the manufacturer (e.g., Siemens Healthineers, GE Healthcare). This letter should be current and specific to Nigeria. You can also contact the manufacturer's regional office to confirm the supplier's status. An authorized dealer will provide a valid manufacturer's warranty and have engineers trained specifically on the model you are buying, like the Carestream DRX-Revolution.
The most affordable options are refurbished analog mobile units retrofitted with a new third-party DR panel, costing between NGN 12-18 million. Alternatively, a basic new mobile DR system from a reputable Asian brand can be sourced for NGN 20-28 million. While these lack the advanced features of premium models, they provide essential digital imaging capabilities for a small clinic's budget.
A mobile DR system drastically improves workflow by bringing imaging to the patient's bedside, eliminating the need to transport critically ill patients to the radiology department. Images from a unit like the Philips MobileDiagnost wDR appear on the screen in 3-5 seconds, allowing for immediate review by clinicians in the ICU or A&E. This reduces the time-to-diagnosis from over an hour to just a few minutes.
Radiographers require 1-2 days of on-site applications training from a specialist provided by the supplier. This training covers the specific functions of the new machine, such as operating the console of a Siemens MOBILETT Elara Max, image processing features, quality control procedures, and radiation safety protocols. Continuous professional development is also needed to stay updated on advanced imaging techniques.
Yes, you can use your existing generator, provided it has a stable output and sufficient capacity (at least 10-15 kVA). The mobile X-ray machine primarily draws power for charging its batteries, which is a steady load. However, it is crucial to connect the machine through a high-quality voltage stabilizer or an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect its sensitive electronics from the voltage fluctuations common with many generators in Nigeria.
Hidden costs include annual maintenance contracts (NGN 1-3 million), NNRA licensing fees, and potential DR detector replacement after 5-7 years (which can cost NGN 8-15 million). You should also budget for battery replacement every 2-3 years (NGN 500,000 - 1.5 million) and ongoing training for staff. Factoring these into your budget for a unit like the GE AMX 240 is essential for long-term financial planning.
You must appoint a certified Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) and register the machine with the NNRA. Implement strict protocols, including controlled access areas during exposure, use of lead aprons for staff, and maintaining a 2-meter distance for non-essential personnel. Regular radiation surveys and personnel dosimetry monitoring are mandatory. Your RSO will be responsible for maintaining records for NNRA audits at your facility in Kano or elsewhere.
The typical lifespan of a DR detector is 5 to 7 years, or a certain number of exposures as specified by the manufacturer. The lifespan can be reduced by physical shocks, such as dropping the panel, or exposure to fluids. The cost of replacing a detector on a model like the Carestream DRX-Revolution can be substantial, so it is often covered under comprehensive service contracts or separate insurance policies.
