Mobile Cardiac PET/CT Imaging
Cardiac PET/CT, delivered to your facility. Mobile Cardiac PET/CT is a complete Cardiac PET/CT suite built into a trailer that parks outside your facility. Our units are set up for myocardial perfusion imaging with Rubidium-82 (Rb-82) or FLYRCADO™ (flurpiridaz F 18), so your cardiology team can diagnose and manage coronary artery disease with confidence.
Cardiac PET/CT
Expanding access to Cardiac PET/CT, with experience that matters
Cardiac PET/CT is one of the most accurate tools for diagnosing coronary artery disease, and now Shared Medical Services brings it directly to your facility. As a trusted partner in mobile imaging, we’ve applied decades of operational expertise to deliver this high-performance service with the precision and reliability your team needs.
Our mobile Cardiac PET/CT fleet offers Rubidium-82 and FLYRCADO™ (flurpiridaz F 18) imaging on compatible systems, designed to fit your clinical workflow, whether you’re launching a new program or expanding existing cardiac services.
Mobile Cardiac PET/CT fleet
Key features of our OEM-certified mobile Cardiac PET/CT fleet
Every mobile Cardiac PET/CT unit runs on an OEM-certified and OEM-serviced system.
ASNC*
Preferred when available*
PET myocardial perfusion imaging with blood flow quantification for patients who meet criteria for MPI. See the clinical context below.
2
Protocols, your choice
Unit-dose FLYRCADO™ (flurpiridaz F 18) or an onboard Rubidium-82 generator. Plan tracer supply around your scan days.
1
System for cardiac and oncology
One mobile platform for Cardiac PET/CT and oncology imaging, so you get more use from every scan day.
Pick your protocol
Rubidium-82 or FLYRCADO™, your choice
Our Cardiac PET/CT fleet offers both perfusion protocols on compatible systems. Discovery™ IQ supports FLYRCADO™ only. Availability and reimbursement depend on the site, payer, and protocol. Confirm local tracer supply, system compatibility, and clinical requirements with your team. Read the full comparison.
Rb-82 study time
<1 hour*
Complete rest/stress acquisition. FLYRCADO timing depends on its protocol.
Radiation dose
Varies*
Agent, administered activity, and CT protocol determine exposure.
Blood flow
Quantified
Absolute myocardial blood flow, for more diagnostic confidence.
*Clinical context: ASNC’s January 2026 statement recommends PET MPI with myocardial blood flow, when available, for patients with suspected coronary artery disease who meet criteria for MPI. Read ASNC’s position. The Rb-82 timing refers to complete rest/stress acquisition, not the full patient visit. Timing and radiation dose vary by agent and protocol; CT adds radiation exposure. See the ASNC/SNMMI Rb-82 guidance and current FLYRCADO prescribing information. Your clinical team determines patient selection and the protocol.

Every system runs in the trailer its 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 service life, then they’re retired, not repurposed. 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 Cardiac PET/CT best for you?
Advantages of both mobile Cardiac PET/CT solutions.
Parked Cardiac PET/CT
Lease, with or without staff
A parked mobile unit is a long-term model for Cardiac PET/CT deployments. These units support reliable scheduling, continuous patient flow, and close coordination with your team.
Best for
Facilities with dedicated cardiology programs and consistent patient volume.
Routed Cardiac PET/CT
Specialized access for select locations
Routed Cardiac PET/CT service can be arranged for select systems with coordinated logistics and appropriate patient volume. This model requires on-site collaboration and aligned responsibilities to ensure safe and effective exams.
Best for
Facilities seeking scheduled Cardiac PET/CT access where routed service is available.
Questions
Mobile Cardiac PET/CT questions
How much does it cost to rent mobile Cardiac 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 mobile Cardiac 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 Cardiac PET/CT trailer need on site?
Requirements include level parking space, 480V 3-phase power, secure site access, and network connectivity for image transfer. Our PET/CT site planning guides are a good starting point for unit dimensions and electrical specs, and site planning assistance is provided.
Does unit-dose FLYRCADO mean a single-injection study?
Unit dose describes how the tracer is supplied, not the number of injections in a complete study. FLYRCADO prescribing information describes separate rest and stress doses. Your clinical team determines the protocol under the current prescribing information.
