View Available Units →Nuclear Medicine Demand Strong — Fixed Suites Are Costly & Slow
Nuclear cardiology, bone imaging, oncology, and thyroid programs nationwide face a persistent challenge: adding nuclear medicine capacity is expensive and time-consuming. A fixed nuclear medicine suite build can cost $1M–$3M+ with long construction timelines, complex shielding, and regulatory requirements. Many hospitals have aging gamma cameras and are unable to meet growing demand for cardiac nuclear medicine (MPI), bone scans, and renal/hepatobiliary imaging. Market access in outlying communities remains limited.
Mobile Nuclear Medicine offers a proven, faster alternative. Rental units deploy within weeks. Add capacity at a fraction of fixed-suite cost. Move units between hospital campuses and satellite sites as clinical demand evolves. Reconditioned units make the economics even more attractive, delivering institutional-grade SPECT and gamma camera technology with rapid ROI.
USAMM manufactures both new custom-built and reconditioned mobile Nuclear Medicine platforms—each fully tested, equipped to your specifications, and ready to serve patients on day one.
Why Hospitals Choose Mobile Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear Cardiology Expansion
Grow myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), cardiac stress tests, and other nuclear cardiology services. Mobile gamma cameras provide rapid ROI with strong reimbursement.
Replace Aging Gamma Cameras
Replace 15+ year-old fixed gamma cameras without building a new suite. Bridge capacity during renovation or service transitions — maintain continuity of care.
Expand Clinical Coverage
Launch oncology bone scans, thyroid imaging, renal, hepatobiliary, and general NM services. Rotate units across campuses to maximize throughput and revenue.
New Service Line Launch
Pilot a mobile NM program with minimal upfront risk. Start with rental, prove volume and ROI, then transition to purchase when confident.
Cost Comparison: Fixed vs. Mobile
Capital Investment to Add Nuclear Medicine CapacityNew Builds & Reconditioned Units
New Custom Builds
Fully fabricated trailers paired with your choice of new or refurbished NM equipment. Custom interior layouts, dose prep / shielded drawing area, chiller, electrical/HVAC, shielding, and structural design engineered for your specifications and clinical workflow. New builds typically launch in 6–8 months.*
Reconditioned Units
Existing mobile NM trailers restored to like-new condition. Complete refurbishment, shielding verification, equipment testing, and certification. Reconditioned builds typically launch in 4–6 months.*
Modular NM Suite
Site-installed modular Nuclear Medicine suites engineered for permanent or semi-permanent expansion. Faster and more cost-effective than traditional construction — a turnkey alternative when a fixed suite is needed but a full buildout isn't practical.
Equipment-Only Solutions
Refurbished NM systems — Siemens, GE, Philips, Digirad — for your existing trailers. Expert installation, integration, and factory-level testing to breathe new life into your platform.
*Build timelines are conservative estimates — refurbished units typically 5–7 months, new custom builds 7–9 months. Custom-built mobile units are significant investments, and we prioritize delivering a unit built precisely to your specifications. Timelines reflect current market conditions and may shift due to manufacturing schedules, equipment lead times, regulatory requirements, or other external factors.
