Custom-Built Mobile PET/CT Units, Complete with Hot Lab
USAMM builds and reconditions mobile PET/CT trailers for cancer centers, hospitals, and oncology programs — complete with integrated hot lab for on-site radiopharmaceutical preparation. Turnkey nuclear medicine manufacturing.
PET/CT Is the Gold Standard — But Access Remains Limited
PET/CT imaging is the gold standard for oncology staging, restaging, and monitoring across cancer types — from lung cancer to lymphoma to colorectal cancers. Yet fixed PET/CT suites remain concentrated in academic medical centers and large metropolitan health systems. Rural and community hospitals, smaller cancer centers, and emerging health systems often lack on-site PET/CT capability.
Mobile PET/CT programs bridge that gap. By bringing PET/CT imaging on-site, health systems can improve patient outcomes, reduce travel burden, and unlock new revenue streams. USAMM manufactures and reconditions mobile PET/CT units that operate with full nuclear medicine licensing, integrated hot lab capability, and regulatory compliance.
Whether you're expanding oncology services, launching a new cancer center, or supplementing a fixed scanner, mobile PET/CT delivers the access your patients need — without the capital footprint of a traditional build-out.

Why Organizations Choose Mobile PET/CT
Oncology Staging Access
Bring gold-standard PET/CT imaging directly to your cancer center without fixed facility constraints.
Rural Cancer Center Support
Serve underserved rural and community hospitals with mobile imaging programs that rotate across your network.
Fixed Scanner Supplement
Add capacity to existing PET/CT suites during peak demand or support emergency/overflow imaging needs.
Research & Trial Support
Enable academic and clinical trials with independent, on-site PET/CT capability for specialized protocols.
Every USAMM PET/CT Unit Includes an Integrated Hot Lab
Unlike mobile CT, mobile PET/CT requires a shielded radiopharmacy workspace for safe handling and preparation of radioactive tracers. USAMM designs and builds NRC-compliant hot labs as an integrated component of every PET/CT trailer.
Lead-lined shielded prep area
Dose calibrator with NIST-traceable standards
Lead-lined isotope storage
L-block radiation shields & handling tools
Dedicated ventilation & exhaust system
Radiation monitoring equipment
NRC/Agreement State compliant design documentation
Fume hood for volatile compound handling
Hot Lab Licensing Requirements
USAMM provides design documentation packages to support your licensing application. Our equipment specifications and safety engineering help expedite your regulatory approval process.
New Builds & Reconditioned PET/CT Units
New Custom PET/CT Build
Collaborate with our engineering team to design and build a custom mobile PET/CT unit tailored to your facility's needs. Choose your preferred OEM platform (United Imaging, GE, Canon), configure your hot lab layout, and define power/utilities requirements. New builds typically launch in 6–9 months.
Reconditioned PET/CT Units
Acquire pre-owned, fully refurbished mobile PET/CT trailers at significant cost savings. Each unit is comprehensively inspected, serviced, and certified before delivery. Hot labs are rebuilt to current NRC standards. Ideal for budget-conscious programs seeking proven equipment.
Hot Lab Retrofit
Already own a mobile PET/CT trailer? USAMM can retrofit or upgrade your existing hot lab to meet current regulatory standards, add new prep equipment, or expand your pharmacy workspace — extending the life of your asset.
