RadNet scoops up Maryland centers

RadNet has completed its previously announced acquisition of five multi-modality imaging centers in Maryland from Diagnostic Health for an undisclosed combination of cash and the assumption of certain liabilities.

The facilities, located in Bowie, Chevy Chase, Frederick, Rockville and Waldorf, provide MRI, CT, ultrasound, mammography, x-ray and other imaging services. The five centers should provide approximately $10 million of revenue to RadNet on an annualized basis, according to the Los Angeles-based operator of outpatient imaging centers.
