Smart Scan Medical Imaging

What Smart Scan Medical Imaging does

Smart Scan Medical Imaging, LLC is a Wisconsin-based, privately-held operator of outpatient diagnostic imaging centers founded in 2021 and headquartered in Northbrook. The company runs four sites - Eau Claire, Weston/Wausau, Middleton/Madison, and Franklin/Milwaukee - providing MRI, CT, and ultrasound services to individual patients, athletes, and physician-referred cases across general, orthopedic, neurological, body, oncologic, gastrointestinal, and vascular indications. Service delivery is split between a direct-to-consumer channel (online and phone appointment requests) and a B2B physician-referral channel supported by a dedicated physician portal at exa.myssmi.com.

The technological foundation rests on a fleet of GE Voyager 1.5T Wide Bore MRI scanners paired with ACR Gold Seal accreditation (three-year term awarded after peer review). The platform layers AI-powered quantitative analysis through Cortechs.AI - including NeuroQuant for brain volumetry, ARIA detection for disease-modifying Alzheimer's therapy monitoring, LesionQuant for multiple sclerosis, and OnQ RSI-MRI for prostate cancer - and a channel partnership with Ezra that brings AI-augmented whole-body screening reports to Smart Scan's scanner base. Additional advanced protocols include Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) for microstructural brain assessment and a dedicated sports-concussion imaging workflow. All reads are performed by nine board-certified, fellowship-trained radiologists with subspecialty training in MSK, neuroradiology, and body/oncologic imaging.

The commercial model is fee-for-service imaging with publicly disclosed flat-rate pricing - $650 for MRI without contrast and $850 for MRI with and without contrast - positioned at roughly one-tenth of Wisconsin hospital-based MRI pricing (up to $6,400). Smart Scan accepts most major insurance including Medicare and Medicaid (BadgerCare Plus) at specified locations and operates transparent self-pay options. The company has raised approximately $2.8M across three consecutive SEC-exempt securities offerings in 2021 ($700K), 2022 ($900K), and 2023-2024 ($1.2M), with ownership concentrated among the Rosengarten-led radiologist group and no institutional venture or private equity backers identified in the available filings.
