Akumin’s Drop Trailer Brings Mobile Imaging to Ground Level

Akumin’s Drop Trailer Brings Mobile Imaging to Ground Level

Author: John Lynn March 12, 2026 Duration: 13:46

Imaging demand keeps rising, but building new capacity is slow, expensive, and disruptive. What if mobile imaging could feel less like a workaround and more like an extension of the hospital?

In this interview from RSNA25, Henry Howe, CEO of Akumin, and Greg Sitkiewicz, Chief Commercial Officer, explain why the company introduced a mobile drop trailer that lowers directly to ground level. They discuss how small design decisions change patient access, staff workflow, setup time, and imaging throughput, especially for health systems dealing with backlogs or rural coverage gaps.

You’ll hear how the drop trailer removes stairs and lifts, deploys in minutes, integrates with hospital IT systems, and supports higher patient volumes.
