Medical Physics Consultants

What Medical Physics Consultants does

Medical Physics Consultants, Inc. (MPC) is an outsourced medical physics consulting firm founded in 1978 and headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The company supplies board-certified medical physicists to hospitals and imaging centers on a contract basis, delivering diagnostic imaging physics services across nuclear medicine, diagnostic radiology (x-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, protocol review), mammography, shielding design, acceptance testing, and regulatory/accreditation support for ACR, ICANL, and Joint Commission standards. Revenue is generated through annual testing retainers, acceptance testing engagements, RSO and accreditation services, complemented by a proprietary eLearning platform and an internal MPC Forms and Resources Database developed in-house.

MPC operates a multi-region delivery model with offices in Ann Arbor (MI), Indianapolis (IN), Salt Lake City (UT), Sussex (WI), and Springfield (IL), providing on-site service across five primary states plus ten additional states. The firm maintains an Imaging Physics Residency Program pursuing CAMPEP accreditation in 2025 and employs roughly 43 or more credentialed physicists, several of whom serve as ACR Image Reviewers and Site Inspection specialists. The company is privately held, with no external funding, no parent entity, and continuous operating leadership dating to the founder.

The business model is exclusively professional services revenue — no disclosed product pricing, contract-based engagements, and segment focus split between hospital/health systems and free-standing imaging centers. Recent strategic activity centers on the 2020 merger with Medical Physics Service of Illinois, the buildout of an annual eLearning course catalog covering radiation safety and modality-specific training, and ongoing accreditation partnerships with ACR and ICANL.

Direct peers

• Krueger-Gilbert Health Physics, Inc. Small-mid medical and health physics consulting firm serving hospitals, imaging centers, and industrial clients across the Midwest with diagnostic imaging and radiation safety services — directly comparable to MPC's core service portfolio and customer base.
• Radiation Safety Associates: Independent medical/health physics consulting firm providing radiation safety, diagnostic imaging physics, and accreditation support to hospitals and clinics. Comparable in service mix and target customer segment to MPC.
• Versant Medical Physics and Safety: Regional medical physics consulting firm providing diagnostic imaging accreditation support and radiation safety services to hospitals and imaging centers, overlapping closely with MPC's Midwest / Southeast coverage and modality mix.
• Alliance Medical Physics Services: Independent medical physics consulting group offering diagnostic imaging physics and accreditation testing for healthcare facilities — similar operating model and service breadth to MPC at smaller scale.

Broad incumbents

• Landauer (a Fortive company): Established global provider of radiation safety services, dosimetry, and medical physics consulting with broad institutional reach. Compares to MPC at the services layer but with much greater scale and a global footprint, competing for hospital physics contracts.
• Mirion Technologies: Large-cap radiation detection, calibration, dosimetry, and consulting services company serving medical, nuclear, and industrial customers. Overlaps with MPC on medical physics support and radiation safety services but operates at national/global scale.
• GE HealthCare: Major imaging OEM offering equipment-level physics services, dose monitoring, and ACR accreditation support as part of broader installed-base services. Overlaps with MPC where OEMs bundle physics into multi-year service contracts.
• Philips Healthcare: Global imaging OEM providing maintenance, dose management, and clinical physics support as part of its managed service portfolio. Competes with MPC where enterprise imaging vendors bundle compliance and physics services into customer agreements.

Emerging players

• MIM Software: Imaging informatics vendor offering radiation dose management, QA, and regulatory reporting tools used by diagnostic imaging departments. Adjacent to MPC's consulting and ACR-compliance positioning, with a software- rather than services-led model.

Others

• AAPM (American Association of Physicists in Medicine): Professional society supporting the medical physics workforce, accreditation standards, and continuing education. Not a competitor but ecosystem counterpart — MPC staff participate in AAPM committees and rely on its standards to drive accreditation demand.
