Rhode Island Medical Imaging

What Rhode Island Medical Imaging does

Rhode Island Medical Imaging (RIMI) is a private, physician-led outpatient diagnostic imaging network operating 16 state-of-the-art facilities across Rhode Island and providing professional radiology interpretation services to 11 Rhode Island hospitals and one Massachusetts hospital. Founded approximately in the early 1940s and headquartered in the East Greenwich / Warwick, RI area, the practice employs 101-250 staff and contracts with over 100 board-certified radiologists, most of whom also hold faculty appointments at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. The company's customer mix is a hybrid B2B2C model: hospitals contract for imaging interpretation services while individual patients are referred by physicians or self-schedule for outpatient studies billed through insurance at the point of service.

The core product portfolio spans the full range of diagnostic imaging modalities, including 3T MRI (where RIMI claims the most extensive network in the state), open MRI, CT, ultrasound, 3D mammography, diagnostic X-ray, and DEXA bone densitometry. Specialty modules extend the offering into cardiac imaging (CT Coronary/Cardiac CTA with HeartFlow Analysis, CT Cardiac Calcium Scoring), cancer screening (low-dose CT lung cancer screening, virtual colonoscopy), interventional radiology, breast biopsy and cryoablation, and liver elastography. Underlying technology includes the IntelePACS image archive and provider portal, the MedInformatix-powered patient portal with online scheduling, and a proprietary low-dose CT protocol developed by RIMI radiologists and referenced nationally. RIMI holds multiple American College of Radiology (ACR) designations, including Diagnostic Imaging Center of Excellence (the first outpatient center in Rhode Island), Comprehensive Breast Imaging Center, and Lung Cancer Screening Center.

RIMI operates a fee-for-service healthcare model: revenue is generated per imaging study performed, with copayments and coinsurance collected at the point of service, while hospital contracts deliver additional professional-component fees for inpatient and outpatient interpretation. Pricing for imaging services is not publicly disclosed and varies by insurance plan and modality. Patient acquisition is driven primarily through a physician/provider referral network (with a dedicated provider portal) supplemented by direct scheduling through a phone center and online portal, multilingual patient education, and community engagement through university athletics sponsorships and health-awareness events. Strategic activity has been measured but ongoing, including the 2022 acquisition of competitor XRA Medical Imaging and the February 2026 opening of a new Pawtucket facility, signaling continued in-state consolidation and capacity expansion.
