The acquisition of ONRAD enables RadNet to seamlessly combine radiology professional services, AI-powered technology solutions and outpatient imaging operations into an integrated offering, transforming radiology workflows and ultimately improving patient care.

RadNet to Acquire Radiology Staffing Services Firm

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.

Strategic Rationale

  • Connects three complementary businesses to provide comprehensive imaging solutions.  

  • Expands RadNet into hospital-based radiology.  

  • Addresses growing market demand.   

  • Adds a fast-growing, high-margin capital-light business.  

“For 20 years, ONRAD has built long-standing relationships with hospitals and health systems delivering reliable, high-quality radiology coverage,” said Dave Engert, President and CEO of ONRAD.  “Joining RadNet not only gives us the scale, resources and technology to meet the growing needs of our current and prospective customers, but it also enables us to offer a unique imaging model that addresses the full continuum of care from outpatient imaging centers to the acute care environment.  The potential to further meet the ever-increasing demand for imaging services along with improving patient outcomes is what excites me most about our future together.”
