RadNet buys assets of remote MRI firm Alpha RT

RadNet has acquired the assets of Coral Springs, FL-based remote MRI services company Alpha RT.

RadNet will combine Alpha RT's staffing services and training programs with its subsidiary DeepHealth’s existing TechLive remote scanning technology, which enables expert technologists to remotely perform or supervise MRI, CT, PET, and ultrasound scans simultaneously across multiple locations from an integrated command center, RadNet said. Terms of the deal were undisclosed.

Assets acquired include the following capabilities and services, the company said:

• Alpha RT’s AI-powered safety monitoring capabilities: Real-time, AI-driven safety alerts for potentially unsafe materials or circumstances around the MRI suite

• Alpha RT’s remote MRI staffing services: Vendor-agnostic staffing services for delivering on-demand access to skilled remote MRI technologists

• Alpha RT’s comprehensive training and certification: Specialized educational and training support, including an MRI Tech Aide Certification program, that strengthens workforce development

• Alpha RT’s intelligent resource optimization: Workflow scheduling and dispatching capabilities that match technologists from a central resource pool to specific imaging needs

DeepHealth will demonstrate its expanded remote imaging portfolio at RSNA 2025, to be held November 30 to December 4 in Chicago, RadNet noted.
