On-Site Diagnostic Imaging: Hospital-Grade X-Ray and Ultrasound at Home

Imaging is central to modern care, from finding answers to tracking recovery. Instead of driving to a hospital or imaging center, mobile radiology brings equipment and licensed technologists to the point of care. PDI Health delivers a mobile diagnostic and medical model that places high-quality imaging at home, in long-term care (LTC) communities, and in correctional facilities, while board-certified radiologists provide fast interpretations.How Mobile Diagnostic and Medical Imaging Works- “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 typically the same day.

From X-Ray to Ultrasound: What We Bring Bedside – Mobile X Ray (Digital Radiography) — Bedside chest and extremity studies for respiratory symptoms, suspected fractures, device checks, and follow-up exams, done fast in small spaces. Ultrasound (General & Vascular; Echocardiography where available) — Soft-tissue, abdominal, and DVT evaluations; in some areas, cardiac ultrasound (echo) helps assess heart 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 modern digital systems and transmitted securely to ABR-certified radiologists, with reports routed to the ordering clinician. Why Mobile Diagnostic and Medical Care Matters Speed: Same-day or next-day imaging shortens time to treatment. Comfort & Safety: Eliminates transports for frail or incarcerated patients. Continuity: Results flow directly to providers; repeat exams are simple to schedule. Cost-Smart: Fewer ambulance rides and missed visits lower total cost.

From Order to Report: The Mobile Workflow – 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 ultrasound studies are captured to diagnostic standards. Interpretation — Images are transmitted securely for radiologist reads. Results — Reports return to the ordering provider, often the same day, with images on request.
