I remember Customs in Miami having a mobile one, could scan complete pallet's. They found a pallet of flowers from Colombia (long stem) that had been gutted, filled with Cocain then superglued back together. The density of the superglue was the indicator.

Cargo x-ray

Cost will depend on tunnel size, why not consider rental / leasing as an option ? This would normally include quarterly maintenence visits & call -outs in the event of breakdown.
For a single view m/c with a 1 meter square aperture cost would start
from about £1000 per month for a five year lease.
