What Lumus Imaging does

Lumus Imaging is an Australian diagnostic imaging provider operating as the imaging division of ASX-listed healthcare group Healius, with its registered entity HLS Imaging Holdings Pty Ltd and a registered trademark held by Clarity Healthcare Pty Ltd. Originally founded as Healthcare Imaging Services in 1994 and rebranded to Lumus Imaging in 2024, the company operates 150+ imaging sites across all Australian states and territories (NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT) through a combination of hospital-embedded, medical-centre co-located, and standalone facilities, supported by sub-brands In Focus Radiology and Western Radiology.

The service portfolio spans the full imaging modality stack: X-Ray, CT, MRI (including Open MRI), Ultrasound, Mammography, PET/CT, Nuclear Medicine, Interventional Procedures, Angiography/DSA, DEXA/BMD, Cone Beam CT, Echocardiogram, Fluoroscopy, and Dental X-Ray (OPG). Digital infrastructure is built on the Intelerad PACS platform, with referrer-facing tools (InteleViewer, iRIS Referrer, InteleConnect, eReferrals, Telehealth Referrer), a Patient Portal, My Health Record integration, and AI tools used as decision-support for diagnostic interpretation and workflow automation. Clinical governance is anchored by the Clinical Council chaired by Clinical Director Dr Tom Snow, with Group Executive Dr Philip Lucas overseeing operations.

Lumus earns revenue on a fee-for-service basis, billing Medicare Australia (bulk-billing), the Department of Veterans' Affairs, private health insurers, and patient out-of-pocket payments. Its go-to-market is referral-led, with patients primarily acquired through GP and specialist referrers who use the company's digital tools to order studies and access reports. End customers include individual patients, healthcare referrers (GPs, specialists, hospitals), and government/health-insurer payers; key hospital partnerships include Northern Beaches Hospital and GenesisCare Campbelltown.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Akumin: North American outpatient imaging operator offering MRI, CT, PET/CT, ultrasound and X-ray across a network of fixed-site centres. Comparable modality breadth and outpatient imaging centre business model, though serving a different geographic and payer environment.
• I-MED Radiology Network: Australia's largest diagnostic imaging network with a comparable national footprint of clinics offering X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, nuclear medicine and interventional procedures. Direct competitor to Lumus Imaging across modalities and geographies, serving the same referrer and patient base.
• Capitol Imaging: US outpatient diagnostic imaging centre operator offering MRI, CT, ultrasound, mammography and other modalities across multiple sites. Comparable multi-modality, multi-site outpatient imaging delivery model though operating under the US reimbursement system.
• RAYUS Radiology: US national diagnostic imaging network with hospital and outpatient partnerships delivering MRI, CT, PET/CT and other advanced modalities. Closely comparable to Lumus in modality mix, multi-site delivery model, and emphasis on hospital-anchored service contracts.
• GenesisCare: Australian cancer-care and cardiac services operator that partners with Lumus at its Campbelltown site while also operating its own diagnostic imaging and radiation oncology infrastructure. Overlaps with Lumus in advanced imaging modalities tied to oncology and cardiology pathways.

Broad incumbents

• Radiology Partners: Largest physician-led radiology practice in the United States, operating a national network of hospital-partnered and freestanding imaging centres. Comparable scale and hospital-embedded model to Lumus, although operating in the US market with a different reimbursement regime.
• Sonic Healthcare: ASX-listed diversified diagnostics operator whose imaging division (Sonic HealthPlus Imaging and affiliated practices) competes with Lumus in Australian diagnostic imaging. Larger portfolio scope including pathology and radiology makes it a broad incumbent rather than a direct imaging-only peer.

Others

• Intelerad Medical Systems: Enterprise imaging PACS/RIS vendor whose technology (InteleViewer, InteleConnect, iRIS) underpins Lumus's digital workflow for referrers. Included as a strategic technology partner and adjacent ecosystem player rather than a direct imaging service competitor.
• Healius (excluding Lumus imaging division): Lumus Imaging's parent company, whose broader pathology and primary care operations share corporate back-office and capital allocation with Lumus. Relevant as the corporate parent shaping strategic direction rather than as an imaging competitor.

Regional players

• Medinex Limited: Singapore-based medical services group with diagnostic imaging exposure across Southeast Asia. Regional peer rather than direct competitor, comparable in offering diagnostic imaging and related services in Asia-Pacific markets adjacent to Australia.
