IMAIOS

What IMAIOS does

IMAIOS is a privately held French medical e-learning company founded in 2008 by two radiologists, Denis Hoa and Antoine Micheau, headquartered in Castelnau-le-Lez near Montpellier. The company develops interactive anatomy atlases and medical imaging tools that combine CT, MRI, PET, radiographs, and angiography imagery with labeled anatomical structures, serving practicing radiologists, radiology residents, medical students, veterinarians, and the universities, hospitals, residency programs, and imaging centers that train them. Reported adoption includes 80% of the world's top 20 medical universities (per Times Higher Education 2023) and more than half of US radiology interns.

The platform's core technology is an interactive web and mobile architecture (iOS/Android) with a built-in DICOM viewer, scientific illustration and anatomical labeling systems, and a collaborative case-sharing layer. The proprietary content corpus comprises 23,335+ medical images, 870,000 anatomical landmarks, and 8,928 uniquely labeled structures, available in 12 languages including Latin Terminologia Anatomica. Flagship products include e-Anatomy (human atlas), vet-Anatomy, e-MRI (interactive MRI course), QEVLAR (ABR Core Exam prep), and e-Cases / zoo-Paedia (community clinical case databases). A freemium mobile model is layered on top of subscription products.

IMAIOS operates a hybrid B2C/B2B revenue model. Individual subscriptions are priced at $12.99/month or $89.99/year with auto-renewal; enterprise/institutional pricing for universities, hospitals, residency programs, imaging centers, and medical imaging vendors is contract-specific and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is via direct website sales, Apple Store, Google Play, and a dedicated China portal (imaios.cn) with localized payments including WeChat Pay and Alipay. The company is bootstrapped (no external funding rounds disclosed), Great Place to Work certified since 2022, and reported 20-22% organic growth for several consecutive years before a jump to 82.69% organic growth cited in the 2026 FT 1000 ranking.

• StatPearls: StatPearls produces board-review and clinical reference content used by residents and medical students across US health systems — directly competitive with IMAIOS's QEVLAR exam preparation and reference modules.
• Osmosis (Elsevier): Osmosis is a visual medical education platform with videos, questions, and study tools used by medical and health-professions students, competing for the same medical-student learner with similar content + subscription economics.
• Lecturio: Lecturio is a medical education video and question-bank platform serving medical students and residents worldwide, with overlapping exam-prep and reference coverage targeting the same learner segment as IMAIOS.
• Complete Anatomy (3D4Medical / Elsevier): Complete Anatomy is a premium 3D anatomy platform for medical students and educators with detailed cross-sectional and gross anatomy models — directly competitive with IMAOS's DICOM-based interactive atlas at the same persona level.
• Kenhub: Kenhub is an interactive anatomy learning platform with labeled illustrations, quizzes, and videos for medical students, targeting the same anatomy-education use case as IMAIOS's e-Anatomy with a similar freemium/subscription model.
• Radiopaedia: Radiopaedia is a free radiology learning wiki with case libraries and reference articles used by radiologists, residents, and medical students — directly mirroring IMAIOS's e-Anatomy and e-Cases offerings and its primary user base.

Broad incumbents

• Elsevier ClinicalKey: Elsevier ClinicalKey is a broad medical reference and learning platform serving hospitals and universities; it overlaps IMAIOS at the high end (institutional licensing, radiology reference) but does not focus on IMAIOS's specialty of interactive cross-sectional and veterinary atlases.
