Fixed PET/CT.
Turn-Key.
Building a fixed PET/CT program is a significant undertaking: capital, regulatory approvals, vendor coordination, and operational infrastructure. LDX is here to help structure and manage that process.
Analyze Your Program FitWhat We Bring
to Your Program
CapEx to OpEx
Structuring the program as a leased asset with per-dose billing converts a large upfront capital commitment into a predictable monthly operating expense. No equipment purchase required.
Coordinated Project Management
A fixed PET/CT buildout touches CON filings, state RAM licensing, ACR accreditation, shielding analysis, GC bid management, and PACS integration. LDX coordinates across these workstreams so your team isn't managing a dozen vendors.
Regulatory Navigation
NRC compliance, ACR accreditation, CON applications, and RAM licensing are complex and time-consuming. LDX helps manage these processes alongside your team — so clinical staff can stay focused on patient care.
Operational Structure
Running a fixed PET/CT program requires an RSO, molecular imaging administrator, waste management program, and ACR maintenance. LDX helps structure the operational model so you understand the true cost before committing.
Vendor & Radiopharmacy Access
Establishing radiopharmacy relationships and OEM service agreements as a single-site program can be challenging. LDX works to connect programs with the right partners and help negotiate terms that reflect your volume.
Faster Breakeven
Eliminating upfront capital means a program can reach cash-flow positive earlier. With no equipment purchase to recover, the break-even scan volume is meaningfully lower than self-operation requires.
Clinical-Grade.
Built to Last.
LDX programs are structured around new, current-generation PET/CT scanners from leading OEMs. Every unit is covered by a full OEM service and maintenance agreement. No refurbished or end-of-life equipment.
From Site Assessment
to First Scan
LDX manages every phase of your program — from the initial site assessment through go-live and ongoing operations. Final schedule is confirmed at site assessment and subject to permitting jurisdiction and OEM delivery lead times.

Your Physicians Run
the Clinical Program.
LDX runs the infrastructure. After launch, we manage the capital-intensive and operationally complex components so your team can remain focused on patients.
Rubidium-82 Management
LDX coordinates Bracco generator procurement, replacement scheduling, and ongoing Rb-82 isotope logistics so your team never has to manage generator contracts or dose timing.
Per-Dose Isotope Model
Isotope is priced per dose based on actual patient volume. Rb-82 (A9555) is reimbursed by Medicare at acquisition cost, a direct pass-through with no isotope carrying risk to the practice.
OEM Equipment Service
Preventive maintenance, repairs, parts, and manufacturer service coordination are included. Every scanner is covered by a full OEM service agreement for maximum clinical uptime.
Regulatory Support
Guidance for RAM licensing, ACR accreditation, medical physics testing, and radiation-safety compliance. LDX manages the regulatory workload alongside your team.
Training & Workflow
Go-live education, clinical workflow development, billing and authorization training, and ongoing program optimization as your volume scales.
Asset Lifecycle Management
Scanner performance oversight, technology planning, and long-term program management, including technology refresh at lease renewal.
