Teleradiology provider Imaging On Call has acquired NightVision Radiology of Mayfield Heights, Ohio, increasing its roster of physicians to 31 radiologists serving U.S. hospitals and radiology practices.

The financial terms were not disclosed. Imaging On Call said it expects to combine operations by July.
