Oncology Imaging Systems

What Oncology Imaging Systems does

Oncology Imaging Systems Ltd (OIS) is a privately held UK specialist distributor founded in 1999 by Steve Imber, headquartered in East Sussex and operating exclusively in the UK and Ireland. The company supplies radiotherapy departments with patient positioning and immobilisation devices, radiation calibration and quality assurance equipment, dosimetry solutions, and related accessories, sourced from a portfolio of leading OEMs including CQ Medical (the merged Qfix and CIVCO Radiotherapy entity), Standard Imaging, ScandiDos, LAP, Beekley Medical, OPASCA, and NeoMedLight. OIS's portfolio spans three product families — imaging, radiotherapy, and physics — covering modalities from mammography and CT/MRI through to SRS/SBRT, brachytherapy, proton positioning, and AI-enabled QA software.

The company's core technology exposure is through distributed third-party platforms rather than in-house R&D: notable products include the LAP DORADOnova laser alignment system, the ScandiDos Delta4 Phantom+ wireless patient QA device with patented detector geometry, CQ Medical's Encompass SRS and Body Pro-Lok ONE immobilisation systems, and OPASCA's workflow and safety automation suites. A small but distinctive AI footprint exists via StructSure AI QA software for verifying auto-segmentation outputs. OIS differentiates primarily on the depth and longevity of its exclusive distribution relationships (some 20+ years), certified technical support, and ISO 9001/14001/27001 credentials that ease NHS qualification.

Commercially, OIS runs a hybrid distribution-and-services model: one-time hardware sales of positioning devices, couchtops, phantoms, and laser systems; distribution margins on OEM products; and recurring installation, calibration, training, and lifetime support services, including multi-year service agreements (e.g., a 10-year QA Pilot at Nottingham University Hospitals). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. End customers are predominantly NHS radiotherapy departments, with secondary exposure to private hospitals and veterinary radiotherapy. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with regional sales managers, supported by event marketing at ESTRO/ASTRO/UKIO, virtual demonstrations, and direct procurement engagement. The company is led by Founder Steve Imber and Managing Director Jess Fuller.
