44th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference summary
13 Jan, 2026Industry Overview and Growth Drivers
The U.S. diagnostic imaging market is valued at $140B with a 4% CAGR, while outpatient imaging is $33B and growing at 7% CAGR, driven by aging demographics, chronic conditions, and new treatment paradigms.
Advanced imaging (MRI, CT, PET) is the main revenue driver, accounting for 63% of revenue and growing twice as fast as routine imaging, with payments per procedure ~3.3x higher.
The industry is highly fragmented, with the top 10 operators comprising only ~20% of IDTF locations and the two largest players holding less than 10% market share, offering significant consolidation opportunities.
Outpatient centers offer a 60% lower cost than hospital outpatient departments, with 99%+ in-network coverage and a strong commercial payer mix.
AI and technology are expected to further improve efficiency, margins, and patient outcomes.
Business Model and Operations
Operates 188 outpatient imaging centers in 13 states, focusing on advanced modalities and high-growth metropolitan areas, with 86 in joint ventures with major health systems.
Growth achieved through de novo openings (44 to date, 9 in the past year), 20 acquisitions since 2018, and joint ventures, targeting 8-10 new centers annually.
Centers average $5.3M in revenue and 6,500 sq ft, with $4M CapEx per de novo, breaking even in about a year and reaching maturity in 24 months.
Patient and provider satisfaction are core metrics, with a 97% patient satisfaction rate, 91 NPS, and 88% referring physician satisfaction.
Centralized scheduling, revenue cycle, and sales teams support scalable operations, high referral rates, and seamless patient journeys.
Financial Performance and Strategy

Leverage reduced from 5.5x to 3.5x post-IPO, supporting further expansion while maintaining financial discipline.
M&A is a tertiary growth lever, with attractive acquisition multiples (6–9x EBITDA) and proven integration success.
