Oct. 26, 2026 — RadNet, Inc. has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire ONRAD, Inc., a provider of teleradiology and in-hospital professional radiology staffing services for hospitals, health systems and other diagnostic imaging sites of care.
The transaction is expected to close in early 2027 and is subject to customary regulatory review and closing conditions.
“This is the next step in building an imaging company with comprehensive solutions that brings technology, radiology professional services and imaging operations together to address some of healthcare’s most pressing challenges and needs,” said Dr. Howard Berger, President and CEO of RadNet. “Connecting RadNet’s established AI-enabled digital health technology and imaging center operational expertise with ONRAD’s teleradiology and professional staffing solutions unites the capabilities needed to address the entire continuum of diagnostic imaging under one company. The acquisition will enhance RadNet’s portfolio of solutions for hospitals and health systems, outpatient freestanding centers, urgent care facilities, freestanding emergency departments and physician offices.”
Dr. Berger continued, “I welcome ONRAD’s executive team, its contracted radiologists and all other ONRAD team members into the RadNet family. This transaction is a significant additional step in leading our industry forward and demonstrating the impact that a transformation to workflow solutions in diagnostic imaging can have in advancing early detection, population health and improved patient outcomes.”
Radiology Professional Services
Through its contracted radiologists, ONRAD provides remote teleradiology final-read interpretations across many healthcare settings and in-hospital professional radiology staffing services, including interventional radiology, for hospitals and health systems. Upon closing, ONRAD will become the foundation for RadNet's third reportable operating segment, Radiology Professional Services. With the addition of this third operating segment, RadNet becomes a comprehensive radiology services and solutions provider, addressing the imaging continuum across the full range of care settings, including hospitals, freestanding ambulatory outpatient centers, primary and specialty care physician offices and standalone urgent care and emergency department facilities.
