Mobile Cardiac PET/CT in Houston
Mobile cardiac PET/CT in Houston brings PET/CT myocardial perfusion to your office, from The Woodlands and Katy to Sugar Land and Pearland. VIP Imaging runs its Texas units from McGregor and serves Houston practices on scheduled days. We supply the trailer, the technologists and the scheduling support. Your physicians read the studies, or we read them for you.
One mobile PET/CT unit for Houston's suburbs
Houston practices spread across a huge metro. VIP's unit can work Katy one day and The Woodlands the next, and a group with offices in Sugar Land, Pearland and Cypress can rotate it between them on one contract.
- Rotate between Katy, The Woodlands, Sugar Land and Pearland
- Keep patients off the freeways and out of the Medical Center
- Book Houston days in regular blocks
Mobile PET/CT and SPECT from one provider
Houston has scanners, but your patients wait for slots and drive across town to reach them. With VIP, PET/CT and SPECT run at your own office, on your schedule, from one provider.
Who PET/CT helps most in Houston
PET/CT handles pharmacologic stress and larger body types well, with lower radiation than SPECT. Its blood-flow numbers also help with diabetic patients, where disease in several vessels can look normal on SPECT.

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 Houston August doesn't change the schedule. There's no equipment to lease and nothing for your staff to run.

Houston questions
Do you serve Houston?
Yes. Our Texas units run from McGregor, and we book Houston practices on scheduled days in regular blocks. Tell us where your offices are and we'll set the rotation.
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.
