Revenue model

1. Medical Physics Consulting and Testing Services: West Physics generates revenue primarily through professional services fees charged to healthcare facilities for medical and health physics consulting, equipment testing, accreditation support, and radiation safety services. Services are priced per engagement, per modality, or through annual/periodic service contracts. The company also sells physical products (phantoms) and document sets (Policies & Procedures).
2. Product Sales (Phantoms & P&P Documents): Revenue is generated from the sale of proprietary Low Contrast Resolution Phantoms ($475) and High Contrast Resolution Phantoms ($425), as well as Policies & Procedures document sets ($1,500 per set). These are one-time product sales.

Regional players

• BioDex Medical Systems: Manufacturer of medical imaging physics and radiation therapy test equipment, including phantoms and QC tools. Adjacent competitor in the imaging physics QC and testing supply ecosystem that West Physics serves as a consulting and testing provider.

Broad incumbents

• Mirion Technologies: Large radiation detection and measurement company offering dosimetry, calibration, and radiation safety services across medical, industrial, and nuclear markets. Comparable to West Physics as a broad incumbent in radiation safety and calibration, though Mirion is much larger and more diversified.
• Fluke Biomedical: Manufacturer of biomedical test and simulation equipment, including survey meters, radiation detectors, and imaging QC devices. Comparable to West Physics in serving medical imaging QC and survey-meter calibration, though Fluke is a global equipment manufacturer rather than a services firm.
• LANDAUER (Fortive): Global provider of radiation dosimetry and monitoring services to medical, industrial, and defense customers. Overlaps with West Physics' industrial division and survey-meter calibration offerings, but LANDAUER is far larger and focused on dosimetry rather than diagnostic imaging physics.

Emerging players

• Capintec: Manufacturer of nuclear medicine and radiation measurement instrumentation, including dose calibrators and survey meters. Overlaps with West Physics' nuclear medicine physics services and survey-meter calibration offerings on the nuclear/PET side of the business.

Direct peers

• Sun Nuclear (Mirion): Provider of quality assurance and radiation safety solutions for radiation oncology and diagnostic imaging. Comparable to West Physics' radiation therapy and imaging physics services, with overlapping accreditation and QC support offerings for hospitals and cancer centers.
• Krueger-Gilbert Health Physics: Independent medical and health physics consulting firm offering diagnostic imaging physics, radiation safety, and accreditation services. Closest direct peer to West Physics as a similarly structured, specialty medical physics consulting firm, though smaller and more regionally focused.
• RTI Group: Specialist in X-ray quality assurance, providing non-invasive meters, phantoms, and software for radiography, fluoroscopy, mammography, and CT QC. Directly comparable to West Physics' modality-specific imaging physics testing and acceptance testing services.
• The Phantom Laboratory: Manufacturer of imaging phantoms and test objects used for MRI, CT, and radiography QC, including competing low-contrast and high-contrast resolution phantoms. Directly comparable to West Physics' proprietary Phantom product line as a competing calibration/QC product vendor in the same modality space.

Others

• RadSite (MIPPA Accreditation Programs): CMS-recognized imaging accreditation body that has a partnership with West Physics as a recommended provider. Not a direct competitor but an ecosystem participant whose accreditation standards shape demand for West Physics' testing and accreditation support services.
