Mobile Cardiac PET/CT in Dallas–Fort Worth

Mobile cardiac PET/CT in Dallas–Fort Worth brings PET/CT myocardial perfusion to your office, from Fort Worth and Arlington to Dallas and Plano. VIP Imaging runs its Texas units from McGregor, south of the Metroplex on 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 across the Metroplex

Many DFW groups have offices on both sides of the Metroplex. VIP's unit can work Fort Worth one day and Plano the next, and a group with offices in Arlington, Frisco and Denton can rotate it between them on one contract.

  • Rotate between Fort Worth, Arlington, Dallas and Plano
  • Keep patients out of hospital imaging queues
  • Add days as referrals grow

Mobile PET/CT and SPECT from one provider

Independent cardiology groups in DFW compete with hospital systems that own their scanners. PET/CT in your own office keeps those studies, and those patients, with your practice. VIP runs PET/CT and SPECT, so one provider covers both.

Who PET/CT helps most in Dallas–Fort Worth

PET/CT handles pharmacologic stress and larger body types well, with lower radiation than SPECT. It shows fewer attenuation artifacts in women and larger patients, which means fewer repeat studies and fewer caths that turn out normal.

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.

Questions

Dallas–Fort Worth questions

Do you serve Dallas–Fort Worth?

Yes. Our Texas units are based in McGregor, south of the Metroplex on I-35. We book DFW 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.
