It is my understanding that in the case a $20,000 x-ray machine that is acquired during the startup period, that it would not

be a startup cost because it is a capital item subject to depreciation. Would the election to use section 179 expensing make it a start-up cost?

I don't think so. But I've been mistaken before.
