United Radiology Group

What United Radiology Group does

United Radiology Group, Chartered is an independent, physician-owned diagnostic radiology practice headquartered in Salina, Kansas, operating continuously since 1975. The practice is composed of 10 board-certified radiologists with more than 160 combined years of clinical experience, offering subspecialty coverage in nuclear medicine, interventional radiology, body imaging, musculoskeletal radiology, neuroradiology, women's imaging, cross-sectional imaging, and pain management imaging. Service delivery relies on conventional diagnostic imaging modalities including MRI (including open MRI for claustrophobic patients), CT, nuclear medicine, 3D tomosynthesis mammography, and DEXA bone density scanning, with scanning protocols directed by the group's radiologists and accredited by the American College of Radiology.

The practice operates a B2B professional services model, placing radiologists on-site at partner hospitals and clinics to provide diagnostic imaging interpretation, supplemented by a 3D tomosynthesis mobile mammography and DEXA coach that travels to rural Kansas facilities lacking on-site imaging. It maintains contractual service relationships with 16 hospitals and clinics across central Kansas, with Salina Regional Health Center serving as the primary anchor partner and the remainder being small rural community hospitals stretching from Clay Center to Wakeeney. Patient acquisition is driven by hospital referrals, physician-to-physician relationships, and community presence rather than consumer marketing, with billpay and patient information delivered through a basic website.

Revenue is generated through professional services billing to hospitals, clinics, and patient insurance, with no publicly disclosed pricing, payer mix, or revenue figures. The practice is privately held by its physician partners with no evidence of external investment, private equity backing, or parent company ownership. Geographic operations are confined to Kansas, with no disclosed plans or signals of expansion outside the central Kansas region.

Open MRI is available at the Medical Arts Building for claustrophobic patients. Services are provided to patients referred through partner hospitals and clinics in central Kansas.
• CT Services CT imaging examinations performed with IV contrast, without contrast, or both protocols. Scanning protocols are directed by radiologists who serve as acting medical directors of the radiology department and are accredited by the American College of Radiology.
• DEXA Bone Density Scanning Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) bone density scanning available through the mobile mammography coach, serving rural Kansas communities alongside 3D mammography services.

Broad incumbents

• Radiology Partners: Largest physician-led radiology practice in the US, serving hundreds of hospital and outpatient contracts nationally. Comparable as a multi-site radiology services provider competing for the same rural hospital contracts that anchor United Radiology's business.
• US Radiology Specialists: PE-backed national radiology group operating across multiple states, offering subspecialty coverage and technology-enabled workflows. Directly comparable as a competing consolidated radiology services platform pursuing hospital contracts in regional markets.
• Akumin: Outpatient imaging services company operating fixed-site and mobile imaging centers offering MRI, CT, mammography, PET/CT, and other modalities. Comparable in offering a multi-modality imaging platform including mobile/mammography services.
• SimonMed Imaging: One of the largest outpatient diagnostic imaging networks in the US, offering MRI, CT, mammography, DEXA, and other modalities. Comparable as a multi-modality imaging services provider with national/regional footprint.
• RAYUS Radiology (formerly CDI): National network of diagnostic imaging centers offering MRI, CT, mammography, and other modalities across multiple states. Comparable in offering the same imaging modalities (CT, MRI, mammography including 3D) at outpatient settings.

Direct peers

• LucidHealth: Midwest-based multi-state radiology group providing on-site and remote radiology services to community hospitals, with emphasis on rural and mid-sized facilities. Closely comparable operating model (physician-owned, hospital contract-based, regional Midwest footprint).
• Envision Radiology: Regional physician-owned radiology group operating across multiple states with hospital and outpatient imaging services. Comparable scale, model, and customer base (community hospitals and clinics), and a potential competitor for central Kansas contracts.
• Midwest Radiology, P.A. Minneapolis-based physician-owned radiology practice providing subspecialty interpretations and on-site coverage to hospitals and clinics in the upper Midwest. Comparable as a similarly sized, subspecialty-staffed regional radiology group serving community hospitals.

Regional players

• Radiology Associates of North Texas: Large physician-owned regional radiology group serving hospitals across Texas with subspecialty coverage. Comparable in operating model (independent physician group, hospital contracts, subspecialty expertise) though operating in a different geography.

Emerging players

• Virtual Radiologic (vRad / Mednax): Large-scale teleradiology provider offering remote subspecialty reads 24/7 to hospitals and clinics nationwide, including rural facilities. Comparable as a competing delivery model that rural hospitals may turn to instead of on-site physician groups like United Radiology.
