Mobile Cardiac PET/CT in Waco and Central Texas
Mobile cardiac PET/CT in Waco and Central Texas brings PET/CT myocardial perfusion to your office, from Waco and Temple to Killeen and Belton. VIP Imaging runs its Texas units from McGregor, about 20 miles west of Waco. 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.
Based in McGregor, 20 miles from Waco
VIP starts the day in McGregor. Waco is a short drive, and Temple, Killeen and Belton sit along the same stretch of I-35. A group with offices in more than one of these towns can rotate one unit between them on one contract.
- Rotate between Waco, Temple, Killeen and Belton
- Keep patients local instead of sending them to Dallas or Austin
- Add days as referrals grow
Mobile PET/CT and SPECT from one provider
Many Central Texas practices send stress imaging out or run SPECT only. VIP runs both. Keep SPECT for routine follow-ups, add PET/CT days for the patients who need it, and work with one provider for scheduling and staffing.
Who PET/CT helps most in Central Texas
PET/CT handles pharmacologic stress and larger body types well, with lower radiation than SPECT. That covers many of the patients Waco, Temple and Killeen practices see every week, from Medicare patients to retired military families around Killeen.

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.

Central Texas questions
Do you serve Waco and Central Texas?
Yes. Our Texas units are based in McGregor, about 20 miles west of Waco. Waco, Temple and Killeen are all a short drive.
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.
