RadNet announced on November 5, 2025 that it had acquired the assets of Alpha RT, a company known for its remote MRI scanning platform and associated staffing and training services. The deal brings Alpha RT’s remote‑scanning technology, pilot‑tested with a 0.06% recall rate and a 42% reduction in MRI room closures, into RadNet’s DeepHealth portfolio, which already includes the FDA‑cleared TechLive remote‑scanning solution.
The acquisition adds Alpha RT’s staffing and training programs to DeepHealth’s cloud‑native platform, allowing RadNet to deploy a fully integrated remote‑MRI service that can be offered to its own imaging centers and to external DeepHealth customers. Integration plans involve aligning Alpha RT’s AI safety monitoring with DeepHealth’s informatics stack, enabling real‑time quality assurance and workflow optimization across the network.
By expanding its remote imaging footprint, RadNet directly tackles the nationwide shortage of imaging technologists. The combined solution increases utilization of existing MRI suites, reduces room closures, and creates new revenue streams from remote service contracts. The move also supports RadNet’s broader strategy of leveraging technology to improve operational efficiency and patient access, positioning the company to capture a larger share of the growing remote imaging market.
RadNet’s recent financial performance underscores the strategic fit of the acquisition. In Q2 2025, the company reported revenue of $2.65 billion and an adjusted EBITDA of $265 million, both beating analyst expectations. The acquisition is expected to contribute to the company’s guidance for 2025, which has been raised to a revenue range of $1.825 billion and an adjusted earnings range of $265 million, reflecting confidence in continued growth of its digital health and remote imaging segments.
The remote imaging market is becoming increasingly competitive, with major players such as Philips and GE also developing remote solutions. RadNet plans to showcase its expanded portfolio at the Radiological Society of North America 2025 Annual Meeting (RSNA) in Chicago, where it will demonstrate the integrated remote‑MRI platform and its AI‑driven workflow enhancements.
Dr. Howard Berger, President and CEO of RadNet, said, "Rising patient demand for radiology services, coupled with a shortage of imaging technologists, is creating a significant challenge for imaging providers. Through this acquisition, we are now able to deliver a comprehensive portfolio of remote‑scanning solutions for both external DeepHealth customers and for the RadNet network of imaging centers—empowering each to keep pace with growing industry procedural volumes while maintaining the highest standard of patient care."
The announcement was met with a muted market reaction, as investors weighed the acquisition against recent earnings momentum and the broader competitive landscape in remote imaging.
