Platinum Mobile Imaging has extensive experience deploying mobile MRI, mobile CT, and mobile PET/CT solutions across states with rigorous regulatory requirements.
Our services address compliance, operational readiness, and patient care continuity.
Mobile MRI, mobile CT, and mobile PET/CT solutions are no longer just alternatives, they are strategic assets for hospitals managing space limitations, equipment upgrades, or unexpected increases in patient volume.
Why mobile imaging Compliance Matters
Hospitals operating in trailer-certification or CON states face unique risks:
- Non-compliance can lead to fines, denial of service, or forced shutdowns.
- Improperly installed mobile units may compromise patient safety or imaging quality.
- Delayed deployment can interrupt patient care, increase wait times, and impact community health outcomes.
Mobile Imaging Regulatory Requirements by State
| State | Regulatory Authority | Requirement Type | What’s Required | How Platinum Helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Florida | AHCA (Agency for Health Care Administration) | Trailer Certification | Mobile MRI/CT units used for outpatient services must meet AHCA licensing, safety, and clinic standards. | Provides AHCA-friendly, pre-certified trailers; assists with documentation and inspections; ensures site outfitting matches AHCA rules. |
| California | HCAI (Dept. of Health Care Access & Information) | Trailer Certification + Building Standards | Units must meet state building codes when connected to hospitals; seismic, fire, and electrical compliance may apply. | Supplies HCAI-compliant mobile units; manages building-code coordination; ensures proper electrical, structural, and patient-access compliance. |
| Michigan | MDHHS / CON Commission | Certificate of Need Required | Any new MRI or CT service (fixed or mobile) typically requires CON approval before deployment. | Helps hospitals prep CON filings; provides temporary mobile imaging during approval process; ensures scanners match CON standards. |
| North Carolina | DHHS / CON Section | Certificate of Need Required | Hospitals must demonstrate community need before adding mobile imaging services. | Supports need assessments, documentation, and replacement/addition scenarios; deploys compliant mobile units after approval. |
| South Carolina | DHEC / CON Review | Certificate of Need Required | MRI/CT imaging equipment and services typically need CON approval to operate. | Coordinates with SC CON reviewers; provides compliant equipment specs; enables rapid deployment once approval is granted. |
