Mobile Cardiac PET/CT in Los Angeles County
Mobile cardiac PET/CT in Los Angeles lets your practice offer PET/CT myocardial perfusion without buying a scanner or building a suite. VIP Imaging parks a PET/CT trailer at your office on the days you choose. We bring the technologists, the equipment and the scheduling support. You keep the patients. Your physicians read the studies, or we read them for you.
One mobile PET/CT unit for every office you run
Most Los Angeles cardiology groups run more than one office: one in the South Bay, one in the San Fernando Valley, a third near the hospital they round at. A fixed PET/CT suite serves one address. VIP's mobile PET/CT unit rotates between all of them on a schedule you set each month, so every office offers the same scan without buying a scanner.

Parking and site setup in Los Angeles
Space is the first question we hear in LA. The trailer needs a level pad and a dedicated power connection. Many medical office buildings have room in a back lot or loading area. Some share a lot with a neighboring tenant. Our team does a site walk before your first day and handles the layout with your building manager.
Medicare-heavy patients, higher PET/CT reimbursement
Los Angeles County has a large Medicare and Medicare Advantage population, plus Medi-Cal managed care plans. Those patients skew older and often need pharmacologic stress. PET/CT is well suited to them, and it is reimbursed at a higher rate than SPECT. Our billing team can walk you through what your own payer mix supports.

Mobile SPECT in Los Angeles on the same schedule
Not every patient needs PET/CT. VIP is one provider for both: mobile PET/CT for complex patients and mobile SPECT for routine follow-ups, on one schedule with one point of contact.

Los Angeles questions
Can the trailer park at a medical office building?
Usually, yes. We need a level pad and a dedicated power connection. We walk the site with your building manager before the first day.
Do you cover the South Bay and the Valley on the same contract?
Yes. Multi-office groups can rotate the unit between locations on a schedule you set each month.
Can we run PET/CT and SPECT days at the same office?
Yes. VIP runs both. Many practices use PET/CT for complex patients and keep SPECT for routine follow-ups.
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.
