Imagir

What Imagir does

Imagir is a privately held French medical imaging group headquartered in Bordeaux, formed in 2020 through the merger of Imagerie Thiers and Groupe Radiologues Associés and subsequently expanded via the 2022 merger with Radiologie 4 Pavillons and the later merger with groupe Valgaronne. The group operates a network of 6-7 clinics and 9 city-based radiology cabinets across the Gironde department, anchored around the Clinique Tivoli-Ducos (Bordeaux), Hôpital Privé Saint-Martin (Pessac), Clinique Jean Villar (Bruges), Nouvelle Clinique Bordeaux Tondu (Floirac), and Polyclinique Bordeaux Rive Droite (Lormont), with newer sites including IRM de Langon (opened January 2025), IRM de Blaye, and Centre d'imagerie Marmande.

The group delivers a full diagnostic and interventional imaging portfolio organized around six core modalities: MRI (7 dedicated systems including PHILIPS 1.5T reference equipment at Tivoli-Ducos), CT including a cardiac-enabled scanner, conventional radiography including EOS ultra-low-dose 2D/3D, ultrasound, breast imaging (11 mammographs, 11 ultrasound rooms, 7 MRIs), and interventional radiology. It layers two third-party CE-marked AI tools on top of this stack: Gleamer for anomaly detection and Pixyl.Neuro for multiple sclerosis lesion tracking and brain volumetry, deployed in a systematic AI-plus-radiologist double-reading workflow. Clinique Tivoli-Ducos is a designated national PHILIPS reference site for breast imaging and neurology.

Imagir serves individual patients directly through walk-ins, GP/specialist referrals, and online appointment booking via Easydoct, with revenue generated from per-examination fees reimbursed through the French Sécurité Sociale and complementary mutuelles. The group is physician-owned, employs 58-60 radiologists and 200-300 total staff, and reports no external private equity or venture capital backing. It is actively expanding AI deployment, opening new MRI capacity in Langon, and rationalizing its footprint, with the closure of Cabinet de Mériadeck and consolidation into Centre d'Imagerie Lecocq in November 2025.

Core offering

IMAGIR is a medical imaging group providing comprehensive diagnostic and interventional radiology services — including conventional radiology, ultrasound, MRI, CT scanner, mammography/breast imaging, and interventional radiology — through a network of 7 clinics and 9 radiology cabinets across the Gironde region in France. The group integrates AI diagnostic assistance (Pixyl.Neuro, Gleamer) and operates state-of-the-art equipment from PHILIPS, HOLOGIC, Canon, and EOS to deliver specialized breast, neurological, cardiac, and musculoskeletal imaging.

Product overview

Imagir is a medical imaging group operating across Bordeaux and Gironde, formed through multiple mergers (starting 2020 with Imagerie Thiers and Groupe Radiologues Associés, then Radiologie 4 Pavillons in 2022 and groupe Valgaronne). The group offers a comprehensive portfolio of diagnostic and interventional imaging services organized around six core modalities: MRI (Imagerie par Résonance Magnétique), CT Scanner, conventional Radiography/Radiologie, Ultrasound/Echographie, Breast Imaging/Sénologie (with 11 mammographs, 11 ultrasound rooms, and 7 dedicated MRI units), and Interventional Radiology. Key add-on and specialized offerings include EOS ultra-low-dose 2D/3D radiography, angio-mammography (first in Aquitaine), cone beam dental imaging, and cardiac CT (coro-scanner). Imagir has also integrated two AI-powered tools: Pixyl.Neuro for automated MRI brain analysis (MS lesion detection and brain volumetry) and Gleamer AI diagnostic assistance software for anomaly detection on radiological images. The group operates across 7 clinics and 9 city-based radiology cabinets, supported by a patient results portal (imagerie.imagir.org) and online appointment booking via Easydoct.

Regional players

• Imagerie M\u00e9dicale du Nord (IMN): Regional French medical imaging group concentrated in northern France; structurally similar multi-site private radiology operator, but geographically separate from IMAGIR.

Broad incumbents

• Inovie: Large French private diagnostics group (medical labs and imaging centers); serves as a comparable consolidator of outpatient diagnostic services, although its imaging footprint is smaller than its lab footprint.
• ELSAN: One of France's largest private healthcare groups operating clinics and imaging services; competes with IMAGIR for radiologist talent and private-clinic partnerships across Gironde.
• Ramsay Sant\u00e9: Major French private hospital and outpatient group with radiology offerings integrated into its clinic network; competes in the same private-clinic radiology channel as IMAGIR.
• Cerba Healthcare: European diagnostics and specialty laboratory group with French imaging exposure; comparable as a private-pay diagnostics platform operating adjacent to IMAGIR's radiology centers.

Direct peers

• Vidi: Largest private medical imaging network in France, operating multi-site radiology centers across multiple regions with a similar physician-partner and multi-modality model; directly comparable to IMAGIR's regional roll-up strategy.
• France Imageries Territoires (FIT): French regional medical imaging group formed through consolidation of independent radiology centers; mirrors IMAGIR's acquisitive growth model and Gironde-style regional focus.

Emerging players

• Pixyl: French AI vendor providing the Pixyl.Neuro brain MRI tool used by IMAGIR; relevant as both a current technology partner and a vector of competitive parity if adopted by other imaging networks.
• Gleamer: AI radiology software vendor whose anomaly-detection tool is deployed by IMAGIR; comparable as a technology supplier shaping the AI differentiation that IMAGIR promotes, and a potential competitive threat if it partners with competing imaging groups.

Others

• Doctolib: Dominant French health booking and care-navigation platform; competes for patient attention in appointment scheduling and could disintermediate IMAGIR's Easydoct-based booking funnel over time.
