CRAWFORDSVILLE – Franciscan Health Crawfordsville, in partnership with Shared Medical Services, is enhancing its diagnostic imaging capabilities with the addition of mobile imaging, featuring the uMI 550 Digital PET/CT (Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography) produced by United Imaging. Mobile imaging will be available by appointment on Saturdays beginning in mid-September.
This next-generation system delivers sharper images, faster scan times, and low-dose protocols — enhancing patient comfort while supporting earlier detection and more confident diagnoses. The scanner also reduces noise and produces sharper images across a wide range of clinical applications.
“This investment reflects our continued commitment to bringing advanced technologies directly to the communities we serve,” said Carlos Vasquez, vice president and chief operating officer at Franciscan Health Crawfordsville. “By partnering with Shared Medical Services, we’re able to offer digital PET/CT imaging in a mobile format — giving our patients access to accurate, timely diagnostics without the need for long-distance travel.”
“United Imaging designs our technology to support our mission of equal healthcare for all,” said Jeffrey M. Bundy, Ph.D., CEO of United Imaging Healthcare Solutions. “This mobile solution empowers organizations like Franciscan Health Crawfordsville and Shared Medical Services to expand access and bring high-end imaging to both large systems and underserved regions.”
Thanks to this new piece of equipment and technology, Franciscan Health Crawfordsville ensures high-quality diagnostic results, regardless of the examination’s complexity or the patient’s clinical condition.
