Enhancing Patient Experience: The Comfort and Design of Catalina Imaging’s Mobile Units

Catalina Imaging

Mobile Imaging Solutions

When it comes to diagnostic imaging, technology isn’t the only thing that matters – patient experience is equally vital. A well-designed imaging environment can ease anxiety, improve scan accuracy, and contribute to overall care satisfaction. That’s why Catalina Imaging goes beyond technical performance when delivering its mobile CT scanners.. They design every unit with patients in mind, making comfort and convenience integral to the scanning experience.

Whether you’re a rural clinic expanding capacity or a large hospital handling overflow, your decision to rent a CT scanner should include one important question: how will this affect the people using it?

Mobile Doesn’t Mean “Minimal”

Some facilities may worry that a mobile CT scan unit offers a lesser experience than an in-house imaging suite. Catalina Imaging addresses these concerns through mobile units designed to meet or exceed modern patient comfort standards.

Inside each mobile CT unit, patients are welcomed into a temperature-controlled, quiet, and spacious environment. From the moment a patient steps into the trailer, they’re met with:

• Soft interior lighting that reduces clinical harshness.

• Climate control to ensure warmth in the winter and coolness in the summer.

• Private entry access, often away from the busiest hospital corridors, minimizes wait time and stress.

• Spacious design, allowing for easy access and movement for individuals with mobility challenges.

These thoughtful features make Catalina Imaging’s mobile units more than just functional—they make them welcoming.

Design That Supports Technicians Too

Improving the patient experience also means supporting the techs and radiologists who work with them. In high-demand imaging environments, well-designed workspaces support staff performance, comfort, and accuracy.

Catalina Imaging’s units are equipped with:

• Ergonomic workstations designed for technician comfort and efficiency.

• Modern interfaces that reduce scan time and error risk.

• Efficient lighting and layout improve visibility and reduce fatigue during long shifts.

A well-structured environment helps ensure technicians remain focused and effective, even during back-to-back procedures.

Why This Matters to Patients and Facilities Alike

When facilities choose to rent a CT scanner, they often focus on logistics, performance, and cost. But the patient experience plays a direct role in care quality and satisfaction scores.

• Comfort reduces patient movement, which results in cleaner, more accurate imaging.

• A calm environment lowers anxiety, especially for pediatric and elderly patients.

• Positive experiences increase follow-through, whether with ongoing treatment or follow-up diagnostics.

Designing a welcoming, low-stress imaging environment—like the one found in Catalina Imaging’s mobile units—supports not only patient satisfaction but also clinical efficiency. By selecting a partner like Catalina Imaging, providers aren’t just leasing a scanner—they’re enhancing the overall patient journey.

Final Thoughts: Comfort Is a Competitive Advantage

In today’s healthcare landscape, patient satisfaction is a key metric. And comfort isn’t just about creature comforts—it’s about reducing fear, improving cooperation, and enabling better diagnostics.

Catalina Imaging understands that a mobile CT scanner must function like a fully equipped imaging suite—and feel like one too. That’s why when providers choose to rent a CT scanner from Catalina, they’re not just getting equipment. They’re getting a well-designed environment that supports the people who matter most: the patients.
