DirectMed Imaging

What DirectMed Imaging does

DirectMed Imaging, founded in 1997 and headquartered in Poway, California, is a private, Frazier Healthcare Partners-backed provider of aftermarket diagnostic imaging parts, pre-owned systems, technical training, and field services for hospitals, imaging centers, independent service organizations (ISOs), and OEMs across North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America. The company maintains an inventory of more than 100,000 parts and 5,000 refurbished MRI coils, covering modalities including MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound, and mammography from GE, Siemens, Philips, and Canon/Toshiba platforms, with a claimed 40-70% cost advantage versus OEM list pricing.

Its core technology portfolio includes proprietary MRI coil designs (12 design patents developed by Dr. Randall Jones at the ScanMed subsidiary), exclusive global distribution rights for ALTA750D and ALTA750G CT X-ray tubes (acquired via Richardson Healthcare), repaired Siemens Straton Z tubes, and a full-service training program accredited by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). The company operates ISO 13485:2016-certified quality systems and runs an Integrated Virtual Training Academy (IVTA) alongside hands-on imaging-suite instruction.

DirectMed generates revenue through five primary streams: parts sales (new, refurbished, and exchange), pre-owned system sales, AAMI-accredited technical training, technical support and full-service contracts (notably for Canon/Toshiba equipment on a monthly subscription basis), and system installation and de-installation services, with regional hubs in California, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Aalborg, Denmark (via LBN Medical). Since 2022, the company has executed six acquisitions to build a multi-OEM, multi-modality aftermarket imaging platform, culminating in the January 2026 merger with Tri-Imaging Solutions.
