Broad incumbents

• RadNet: Largest US outpatient imaging center operator with 350+ sites across multiple states; directly comparable to AHI in offering MRI, CT, X-ray, and ultrasound in freestanding outpatient settings, though at significantly larger scale and with a public-company capital base.
• HCA Healthcare (Imaging Division): Largest US for-profit hospital operator with extensive outpatient imaging departments across Southeast markets including Florida and Texas; comparable to AHI as a competing site of service for outpatient MRI, CT, and X-ray referrals in the same geographic footprint.

Direct peers

• Envision Radiology: Outpatient diagnostic imaging chain operating across multiple US states offering MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound, and specialty imaging; directly comparable to AHI in freestanding outpatient positioning, multi-modality equipment footprint, and physician-referral-driven model.
• Touchstone Medical Imaging: Outpatient diagnostic imaging provider operating MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound, and mammography centers across multiple states; comparable to AHI in modality mix, freestanding outpatient model, and in-network insurance positioning versus hospital imaging.
• Akumin: Multi-state outpatient imaging operator offering MRI, CT, PET/CT, ultrasound, and X-ray at freestanding centers; comparable to AHI in modality mix, multi-state scale, hospital-outpatient competition, and reliance on commercial payer reimbursement.
• Center for Diagnostic Imaging (CDI): Multi-state outpatient imaging center network offering MRI, CT, mammography, X-ray, ultrasound, and pain management injections; comparable to AHI in multi-modality freestanding model, payer-contracted in-network strategy, and focus on subspecialized radiologist reads.
• SimonMed Imaging: One of the largest outpatient medical imaging networks in the US, offering MRI, CT, ultrasound, X-ray, and specialty services at freestanding centers; very similar business model to AHI with multi-state footprint, in-network insurance participation, and same-day appointment positioning.
• Outpatient Imaging Affiliates: Operator and developer of freestanding outpatient imaging centers partnered with hospitals and health systems; directly comparable to AHI in joint-venture and de novo imaging center development, multi-modality offerings, and focus on cost-competitive outpatient imaging.

Others

• US Radiology Specialists: National radiology partnership network of which AHI is a regional operating pillar; directly comparable because it consolidates affiliated outpatient imaging practices and shares back-office, IT, and procurement infrastructure with AHI's operations.
• Lumexa Imaging: Administrative services organization that provides nonclinical back-office support to AHI within the US Radiology Specialists network; directly comparable as an adjacent enabling platform that shares payer contracting, IT, and revenue cycle infrastructure with AHI's centers.
