    About 

    Imaging Advantage is a market leader in providing comprehensive radiology solutions to hospitals, imaging centers and radiology groups.

    We focus exclusively on two goals: enhancing existing radiology services in local communities (by introducing 'best in class' services and incorporating local groups and radiologists into our program) and achieving excellence in patient care.

    Our solutions include: practice management, radiologist staffing, day and night final read teleradiology, subspecialty and quality control programs, and uniquely tailored programs to increase patient throughput, reduce costs and increase market share.

    Out team members are graduates of Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cornell, Columbia, Wharton and other excellent institutions.

    Imaging Advantage managers are advised by luminaries in business and medicine including former Cendant CEO and Chairman Henry Silverman and Dr. Alexander Margulis, one of the most respected and acclaimed radiologists in the world. Our Medical Advisory Board consists of a select group of the country's leading radiologists.

    Imaging Advantage has a contract with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Radiology to provide 3D rendering services. MGH has representatives on the Imaging Advantage Medical Advisory Board and a separate Oversight Board for 3D. This reflects MGH's interest in promoting the 3D work where MGH has 10 years of experience delivering centralized services.

    Imaging Advantage is 100% US-based and all teleradiology exams are read domestically by US board certified radiologists.

    Imaging Advantage assists clients in competing during difficult economic times. We market our clients' radiology department services through symposia and through our nationally recognized Public Relations firm.
