Mobile Cardiac PET/CT in Austin
Mobile cardiac PET/CT in Austin brings PET/CT myocardial perfusion to your office, from Georgetown and Round Rock to South Austin and San Marcos. VIP Imaging runs its Texas units from McGregor, straight down I-35. We supply the trailer, the technologists and the scheduling support on the days you choose. Your physicians read the studies, or we read them for you.
One mobile PET/CT unit along I-35, from Georgetown to San Marcos
Austin practices spread north and south along I-35. VIP's unit can work Round Rock one day and South Austin the next, and a group with offices in Georgetown, Cedar Park and San Marcos can rotate it between them on one contract.
- Rotate between Georgetown, Round Rock, Cedar Park and San Marcos
- Spare patients the wait for a hospital imaging slot
- Add days as referrals grow
Mobile PET/CT and SPECT from one provider
New cardiology offices open in the Austin suburbs faster than hospital imaging schedules grow. VIP runs PET/CT and SPECT, so a new office can start with the study it needs and add the other later with the same provider.
Who PET/CT helps most in Austin
PET/CT handles pharmacologic stress and larger body types well, with lower radiation than SPECT. It also measures blood flow, which helps when an earlier SPECT came back equivocal. Practices in Austin, Round Rock and Georgetown get a clearer answer the first time.

What your site needs for the mobile PET/CT unit
A level pad and a dedicated power connection. We walk the site with your property manager before the first day and handle the setup. The trailer runs its own climate control, so a Texas August doesn't change the schedule. There's no equipment to lease and nothing for your staff to run.

Austin questions
Do you serve Austin?
Yes. Our Texas units run from McGregor and reach Austin along I-35. We book Austin days as regular blocks, so your patients have a standing schedule.
Can we run PET/CT and SPECT on the same schedule?
Yes. Many practices keep SPECT for routine follow-ups and add PET/CT for the patients who need it.
What does the site need?
A level pad and a dedicated power connection. We walk the site with your property manager before the first day.
Which tracer do you use?
Rubidium-82 (Rb-82), the standard tracer for cardiac PET/CT myocardial perfusion. Its short half-life keeps the patient's radiation dose low and the visit under an hour.
How fast can we start?
Often the same week you sign. We confirm the pad and power, set the day, and your front desk fills it.
Who reads the studies?
Your choice. Most practices have their own cardiologists read and bill the professional component. If you'd rather not, our reading physicians interpret the studies and send the reports to you.
Is this a PET/CT rental or a service?
A staffed service. VIP brings the mobile PET/CT unit, the technologists and the scheduling support on the days you book. There is no equipment lease, no build-out and nothing for you to staff.
