Mobile PET/CT
Mobile PET/CT Imaging
PET/CT, parked right outside your door. A mobile PET/CT is a complete PET/CT suite, with its own uptake area, built into a trailer that parks outside your facility. It pairs high-resolution CT with PET imaging to support your oncology, neurology, and other PET/CT programs.

PET and PET/CT
More than two decades of mobile PET/CT
Shared Medical Services brings mobile PET/CT to facilities that need access without building a fixed suite. Your regional team helps plan the system, schedule, site requirements, and staffing around the studies you offer and the patients you serve.
Digital PET/CT also supports imaging agents beyond FDG, from PSMA to amyloid. See the imaging agents we support.
Your team can review available systems and software below, then discuss the configuration and availability with us.

Every system operates in the trailer the manufacturer certified for it, and the two are never separated. That’s what OEM-certified and OEM-serviced means at Shared Medical Services. Older systems stay in service until the end of their OEM service life, then they’re retired. Ask your regional team for the OEM certification on any unit.

Patient experience
Inside our mobile PET/CT units
Explore patient areas across our mobile PET/CT fleet. Interiors and amenities vary by unit.
Parked or routed
Is a parked or routed PET/CT best for you?
Parked or routed, each works a little differently. Here’s how to match the option to your volume and schedule.

Parked PET/CT
Lease, with or without staff
Parked PET/CT units are stationed at a single facility for short and long-term use, providing daily access for oncology, neurology, or cardiac imaging. This model supports higher patient volumes, more flexible scheduling, and deeper workflow integration with your care team.
Best for
High-volume cancer centers or sites with frequent PET/CT demand.

Routed PET/CT
Join a shared route
Your hospital or clinic can join a shared PET/CT route for scheduled imaging visits. It is a practical way to bring PET/CT closer to your patients when volume does not call for a dedicated unit. Your regional team can review route availability, patient scheduling, and imaging-agent logistics with you.
Best for
Individual facilities that need scheduled PET/CT access.
Questions
Mobile PET/CT questions
How much does it cost to rent a mobile PET/CT?
It depends on what you need. Cost is driven by the system, how long you need it, whether the trailer is parked long-term or shared on a route, whether it’s staffed by your team or ours, and the site preparation involved. Every service is built around the facility, so the quickest way to a real number is to request mobile imaging with your modality, timeline, and site.
Is a mobile PET/CT as good as a scanner in a hospital?
Our mobile units use OEM systems also installed in fixed imaging suites, in configurations approved for mobile use. Your regional team can review the scanner, software, and exam requirements with you.
What does a mobile PET/CT trailer need on site?
Requirements include level parking space, 480V 3-phase power, secure site access, and network connectivity for image transfer. For PET/CT, our site planning guides for the Siemens Healthineers Biograph, GE HealthCare Omni Legend and Discovery™ IQ, and United Imaging uMI® 550 cover unit dimensions and electrical requirements, and site planning assistance is provided.
What should we confirm before adding PSMA or amyloid PET to mobile service?
Start with the exact imaging agent, expected patient volume, and desired scan days. Your clinical and nuclear medicine teams should review tracer supply, handling, protocols, and image interpretation alongside the mobile schedule. See our supported PET/CT imaging agents, then ask your regional team to review availability for your facility.
