Modular Imaging Suites for CT, MRI, and PET/CT

A modular imaging suite is a self-contained imaging facility. Factory-built and delivered to your site, it gets placed on grade, connected to your facility’s utilities, and put to work. It is not a mobile coach operating on a shared schedule. It is also not a construction project with a 12 to 24 month runway. It occupies the space between those two options: a permanent-feeling, clinically capable imaging environment that stays on your site for as long as you need it.

Each suite is configured specifically for the modality and program it supports. There is no standard off-the-shelf version, because no two programs have the same needs.

It helps to think about imaging infrastructure as a spectrum.

In-house construction gives you permanence and full facility integration. It also requires capital, long timelines, and a fixed commitment to that footprint.

One thing worth stating plainly: mobile is more easily relocated than modular. Moving a mobile coach is a logistics call. Moving a modular suite, especially one housing a high-field MRI, is a more involved process. Modular offers long-term flexibility compared to a permanent building, but it is not a substitute for the day-to-day portability that mobile provides. We offer both because they serve different needs.

CT suites are among the most flexible modular configurations we offer. The layout options are broad, site requirements are generally straightforward, and the suite can be tailored for high-throughput diagnostic work, trauma support, oncology, or general radiology. Radiation safety construction is standard throughout.

Interiors are fully customizable. Some clients want a clean, clinical look. Others want large wall murals and natural light features that put patients at ease the moment they walk in.

MRI suites require a more precise build. The scan room incorporates multilayer RF shielding, shielded doors and windows, MR-compliant lighting, and an HVAC system specified for the environmental conditions MRI demands. SMS modular MRI suites support configurations up to 3T, including wide-bore options.

The patient environment matters here more than in almost any other modality. Wide pathways, calming interiors, and large murals do real clinical work. They reduce anxiety, support patient stillness, and ultimately affect image quality. We think about the interior of a modular MRI suite the same way a well-designed fixed-site room does.

PET/CT is the most workflow-complex configuration we offer. Full nuclear medicine workflow needs more than a scan room and a control room. It needs space for radiopharmaceutical handling, patient uptake, and the radiation safety infrastructure that governs all of it. SMS modular PET/CT suites are built for that complete workflow. Each suite includes a shielded hot lab, uptake rooms with lead-shielded walls and lead-lined doors, and a control room.
