A Lamboo mobile MRI unit brings hospital-grade imaging to the point of care, operational in under 30 minutes and without permanent construction. Each unit is a complete department on wheels: a shielded scan room, a control room, a changing area, and its own climate control and IT connections. An on-board power module supplies the unit during transport, keeping the magnet at field so scanning can start as soon as it is sited. Lamboo has built mobile medical units since 1957, with 1,150+ delivered worldwide.

Why healthcare providers choose a Mobile MRI unit

Healthcare providers choose a mobile MRI unit to add scanning capacity quickly, without committing to a permanent building. It bridges the period when a fixed suite is being renovated, absorbs seasonal peaks and helps bring down waiting lists. Because the unit can be relocated, capacity follows demand between sites in a hospital group or region, and a service can be proven at a location before a permanent installation is funded.

Expanding diagnostic capacity without permanent construction

A mobile MRI unit removes the construction phase entirely. The unit is built, tested and commissioned in the factory and arrives fully finished, so no structural work and no building programme are needed. Site preparation is limited to a levelled, supported surface, a power connection and safe access for the trailer. MRI capacity is added in weeks rather than years, and because nothing is built into the ground, the unit can move to another site when needs change.

Engineering the ultimate mobile MRI trailer

Every unit is engineered to permanent-installation quality, so image performance on the road matches that of a fixed suite. The body uses Lamboo’s own sandwich panel construction, combining a high insulation value with the rigidity needed to protect a magnet in transit. RF and magnetic shielding are integrated into the structure rather than added afterwards, and the climate system holds scan room conditions stable in any climate, from desert heat to Nordic winter.

Seamless integration with leading OEM mobile MRI machines

Lamboo is OEM-neutral: the unit is engineered around the scanner you choose, not the other way around, and Lamboo is certified by all major OEMs. Each design is developed and certified together with the manufacturer of that specific system. That covers the structural interface, RF and magnetic shielding, cable routing, cooling and the transport locks the scanner requires. The result is a unit the OEM commissions and services exactly as it would a fixed installation.

Frequently asked questions


A levelled, supported hardstand with siting access, a power connection and a link to your imaging network. Lamboo provides a foundation drawing per project.


Because the magnet stays at field during transport, supplied by the unit’s own power module, a Lamboo mobile MRI can be sited, connected and operational in under 30 minutes.


Yes. Each unit is engineered specifically around the OEM modality and exact scanner model in close partnership with the manufacturer.


The unit is delivered IT-ready with external connection panels, allowing easy integration with your hospital’s PACS, RIS, and internal networks.


The 5 gauss line is contained entirely within the scan room walls due to advanced integrated shielding, ensuring complete safety outside the trailer.
