Washington Radiology Associates, PC

What Washington Radiology Associates, PC does

Washington Radiology Associates, PC is a private professional corporation operating outpatient diagnostic imaging centers across the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, including suburban Maryland and Northern Virginia. Founded in 1948 (one source states 1950) and headquartered in Fairfax, VA, the practice has operated for approximately 75 years and currently maintains 13-14 imaging centers serving the mid-Atlantic region. The company employs between 251 and 500 people, including board-certified radiologists with subspecialty training in women's imaging, neuroradiology, and musculoskeletal imaging, supported by technologists and administrative staff.

The practice offers a comprehensive diagnostic imaging service portfolio spanning 3D screening and diagnostic mammography (tomosynthesis), MRI including GE Discovery MR750w 3T Wide Bore MRI systems and high-field open MRI, CT (including lung screening, cardiac calcium scoring, virtual colonoscopy, and neuroradiology), ultrasound (breast, MSK, obstetric, liver elastography), bone density (DXA/VFA), X-ray, fluoroscopy, and image-guided biopsies (breast and thyroid). Notable equipment includes 3T wide-bore MRI platforms described as among the first in the country at the Olney and Greenbelt sites, and the only outpatient facility in Harford County with a fellowship-trained pediatric radiologist (Bel Air). Specialty services include FAST Breast MRI, NeuroQuant MRI, BRCA1/2 genetic testing, and the Mammo+Heart wellness program that combines mammography with cardiovascular risk assessment.

Washington Radiology generates revenue primarily through fee-for-service diagnostic imaging, reimbursed by patients and insurance plans, across a network that serves both consumer patients (direct scheduling and walk-in X-ray) and enterprise channel partners (referring physicians using referral pads and a physician portal). The practice operates a sales-led GTM motion supported by a digital-first marketing presence, online self-scheduling for screening exams, and a partnership channel through the MammoConnect program and a sister-company relationship with Solis Mammography for screening mammograms at the D.C. location. The practice holds full American College of Radiology accreditation and HIPAA-compliant operations.

Product overview

Washington Radiology Associates, PC is a diagnostic imaging practice offering a comprehensive portfolio of medical imaging services across multiple modalities. The company operates as a unified service offering rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture, providing 3D mammography, MRI (including 3T wide-bore systems), CT, ultrasound, X-ray, fluoroscopy, bone density screening, and biopsy services through 14 locations in the DC Metro area. Their services span breast imaging, general body imaging, neuroradiology, musculoskeletal imaging, and wellness screenings. Key imaging technology includes 3D Tomosynthesis for mammography, GE Discovery MR750w 3T Wide Bore MRI systems, and various specialized protocols such as NeuroQuant MRI, FAST Breast MRI, and Mammo+Heart for combined cardiac screening.
