Solis Mammography

What Solis Mammography does

Solis Mammography is the largest independent provider of breast health services in the United States, operating a network of more than 150 mammography and imaging centers across 25 major markets in 14 states including Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, North Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio, Colorado, Arizona, Louisiana, Virginia, Washington D.C., Utah, and Missouri. The company was founded in 1986 and is headquartered in Addison, Texas; it is private equity-backed by Madison Dearborn Partners and employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people. Its primary customers are women aged 40 and older seeking annual screening mammograms, supplemented by diagnostic mammograms, bone density (DEXA) scans, breast ultrasounds, and biopsies, with additional programs for high-risk women and symptomatic patients.

Solis's core technology stack is built on 3D mammography (tomosynthesis) integrated with vendor-licensed AI screening software and its proprietary SmartCurve curved compression paddle, with the combination claimed to increase invasive breast cancer detection by 54% and reduce callbacks by 37% relative to conventional 2D mammography. All exams are interpreted by breast-specialized radiologists, and the company has rolled out Mammo+Heart, an AI-enabled cardiovascular risk screening tool, and Contrast Enhanced Mammography as adjacent service extensions. Distribution is hybrid: company-owned centers combined with hospital-partnered imaging departments inside HCA Healthcare, Jefferson Health, Memorial Healthcare System, TriStar, Medical City, and St. David's facilities.

Revenue is generated predominantly through fee-for-service reimbursement from insurance carriers, Medicare, and Medicaid for screening and diagnostic breast imaging, with mandated 100% coverage for 3D mammograms in many states creating a subscription-like recurring annual cadence. Patients self-schedule online without a physician order for ages 40+, and the company supplements capacity through walk-ins, Saturday slots, and a physician referral program. Solis has executed an aggressive acquisition-led expansion under Madison Dearborn Partners' ownership, completing or announcing at least seven deals from 2024 through January 2026 — including MUSIC Imaging Center, Breast Center of Acadiana, Avestēe Women's Imaging Centers, St. Louis Breast Center, Knoxville Comprehensive Breast Center, and Women's Center for Radiology — alongside multiple de novo openings scheduled for 2026.

Products and services

• Screening Mammogram Annual breast cancer screening mammogram for women without symptoms. No physician order required for women 40+. Uses 3D mammography with SmartCurve. Results delivered by secure email within 1-2 business days. For self-scheduling adult women seeking early detection.
• Diagnostic Mammogram Targeted mammogram for women with breast symptoms (lump, pain, nipple discharge, dimpled or puckered skin). Requires a physician's order. Includes same-visit consultation with a radiologist who reviews findings with the patient before they leave. For symptomatic patients and referring physicians.
• Bone Density (DEXA) Non-invasive bone density scan using low-dose x-ray to measure bone mineral density, used to diagnose osteoporosis and detect bone loss before fractures occur. Recommended baseline at age 65 for women and age 70 for men. For adults and referring physicians.
• Breast Ultrasound Non-invasive, radiation-free exam using sound waves to produce images of breast tissue. Used as supplemental screening for high-risk women and to further evaluate mammogram findings. For high-risk patients and referring physicians.
• Breast Biopsy Tissue sampling procedure performed when additional investigation of breast abnormalities identified on mammogram or ultrasound is required. For patients with imaging findings requiring pathology confirmation.
• Mammo+Heart AI screening tool that runs in parallel with breast screening mammography for asymptomatic women aged 40-89. Detects presence or absence of breast arterial calcification to provide an indication of possible cardiovascular risk alongside the mammogram. For women seeking combined breast and heart risk insight.
• Contrast Enhanced Mammography Combination of 3D digital mammogram with contrast agent to visualize areas of breast tissue that may not be visible on standard mammography. Positioned as a streamlined alternative to MRI. For patients needing enhanced diagnostic imaging.
