Mobile Diagnostic and Medical Imaging That Comes to You
Imaging is central to modern care, from finding answers to tracking recovery. Instead of traveling to a hospital or imaging center, mobile radiology brings equipment and licensed technologists to you. PDI Health delivers a mobile diagnostic and medical model that places high-quality imaging in residences, in long-term care (LTC) communities, and in correctional facilities, while board-certified radiologists provide fast interpretations.Mobile Radiology, Explained- “Diagnostic imaging” covers modalities such as X-ray, ultrasound, CT, and MRI. In mobile programs, the most common on-site studies are digital X-rays, general/vascular ultrasound, and EKG/ECG; in some areas, cardiac ultrasound (echo) supports bedside triage. Images are captured with current digital systems and sent securely for radiologist interpretation, with reports returned to the ordering provider often the same day.
On-Site Modalities: X-Ray, Ultrasound, and Cardiac Ultrasound – Mobile X Ray (Digital Radiography) — Bedside chest and extremity studies for cough/fever/SOB, suspected fractures, device checks, and follow-up exams, captured quickly in small spaces. Sonography (General & Vascular; Echocardiography where available) — Soft-tissue, abdominal, and DVT evaluations; in some areas, cardiac ultrasound (echo) helps assess ventricular function, pericardial effusion, and selected valvular issues. Cardiac Radiology–Adjacent Services — While advanced cardiac CT/MRI stay site-based, mobile teams commonly provide EKG/ECG, telemetry setups, and focused cardiac ultrasound to answer urgent bedside questions. All imaging is acquired with current digital systems and transmitted securely to board-certified radiologists, with reports routed to the ordering clinician. Speed, Safety, and Continuity: Benefits of Mobile Radiology Speed: Same-day or next-day imaging moves care forward. Comfort & Safety: Eliminates transports for mobility-limited or justice-involved patients. Continuity: Results flow directly to providers; repeat exams are simple to schedule. Cost-Smart: Fewer ambulance rides and missed visits lower total cost.
How a Mobile Imaging Visit Works – Order & Coordination — A provider places an order or we coordinate from a patient/caregiver inquiry. On-Site Setup — Technologists verify identity, prepare the area, and position equipment. Acquisition — X-ray and sonography studies are captured to diagnostic standards. Interpretation — Images are transmitted securely for radiologist reads. Results — Reports return to the ordering provider, typically the same day, with images on request.

Common Scenarios for On-Site X-Ray and Ultrasound
Chest symptoms needing a quick chest X-ray, Suspected fractures or acute MSK pain where transfers are hard, Cardiac concerns where EKG and cardiac ultrasound guide bedside decisions, Post-op checks and device/line placement verification, Outbreaks in congregate settings where limiting exposure matters. Standards, Protocols, and Patient Safety in Mobile Imaging. “Mobile” doesn’t mean “make-do.” PDI Health uses regularly checked digital equipment, radiation-dose safeguards, infection control, identity verification, and HIPAA-compliant transfer. Board-certified radiologists interpret studies, and reports are structured for clear clinical decisions. Service Areas, Documentation, and Billing Basics. Availability varies by study type and location, but many requests are fulfilled same day or next day in the service areas above. Provider orders ensure medical necessity and documentation; patient-initiated requests can be coordinated with the care team. Coverage depends on plan and indication—PDI Health helps with paperwork and coordination.
