Bringing the First Mobile Digital PET/CT to Market

A healthcare system wanted to introduce next-generation digital PET/CT imaging to its network. Their goal was to improve scan times, enhance diagnostic accuracy, and raise overall imaging quality. However, they needed a solution that could adapt to growth while keeping workflows efficient. Additionally, the system aimed to be the first in the market with a mobile digital PET/CT unit.

To address this challenge, Shared Medical Services partnered with the provider to build a scalable, flexible PET/CT program. As a result, the system successfully launched its first digital PET/CT unit. It delivered high-resolution imaging with shorter exam times. Specifically, patients completed exams in 30 minutes, improving both access and experience.

Furthermore, the mobile model allowed services to scale with demand. Shared Medical Services also provided consulting and support. This included workflow optimization, improved scheduling, and stronger patient communication. Most importantly, it ensured a smooth integration with the provider’s existing operations.

Thanks to the mobile digital PET/CT solution, the healthcare system set a new imaging standard. Patient throughput increased, and exam times dropped. This meant the provider could serve more patients without adding fixed infrastructure.

In addition, Shared Medical Services helped fine-tune the provider’s processes. Appointment reminders improved, workflows stayed consistent, and scheduling became more efficient. Altogether, the result was a successful, forward-thinking imaging program that can continue to grow with the system’s needs.
