Mobile Cardiac PET/CT Imaging in Southern California

Modern Nuclear’s mobile cardiac PET/CT, featuring the Rb-82 PET scan, stands out with its superior accuracy, reduced radiation, and enhanced ability to detect coronary artery disease, surpassing traditional nuclear stress testing methods like SPECT. Our cardiac PET/CT perfusion scan captures blood flow to the heart at rest and under stress, identifying decreased blood flow that might require angioplasty or surgical intervention. This service is completed within 45 minutes per patient in our state-of-the-art imaging trailer, ensuring a seamless workflow within your office setting.
