Krueger-Gilbert Health Physics

What Krueger-Gilbert Health Physics does

Krueger-Gilbert Health Physics, Inc. (KGHP) is a private, Towson, Maryland-headquartered diagnostic medical physics and health physics consulting firm founded in 1987, serving primarily the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region (Maryland, Virginia, the District of Columbia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Delaware). The firm provides outsourced medical physics expertise to healthcare facilities that lack the imaging volume or regulatory complexity to justify a full-time, in-house physicist. Its customer base spans hospitals and medical centers, multi-site imaging networks, independent radiology private practices, and academic/research facilities operating radioactive materials or advanced imaging modalities.

The core offering is a multi-modality professional services portfolio covering six imaging modalities — CT, mammography, MRI, nuclear imaging/PET, fluoroscopy and radiography, and ultrasound — supported by accredited testing services for ACR, Joint Commission, IAC, ICANL, ICAMRL, MQSA, and state radiation control bodies. Wrapped around the modality testing are cross-cutting services: annual and initial performance testing, ACR accreditation assistance, radiation safety officer (RSO) outsourcing, occupational and patient dosimetry (including a proprietary Dosimetry Management Program described as exclusive to KGHP), shielding design for rooms and cyclotrons, CT protocol review, and training across nuclear medicine, cardiology, interventional labs, and DOT hazmat functions for radioactive materials. Delivery is via direct, on-site field service by board-certified physicists holding certifications across five specialty boards.

The business model is subscription-style annual contracts with all-inclusive pricing that bundles recurrent testing, regulatory allowances, and incident response into a per-facility fee that ranges from the low hundreds of dollars annually for a single x-ray tube site to tens of thousands of dollars for a large hospital outsourcing full RSO and medical physics coverage. GTM is consultative enterprise field sales into healthcare procurement, radiation safety, and radiology leadership, with 400+ active clients in the core Mid-Atlantic geography. The firm is privately held and led by CEO Michael Curry, Jr. and President Keith N. Burns, both of whom also manage Seneca Creek Partners LLC.

Revenue model

1. Diagnostic Medical Physics Consulting Services: KGHP provides consulting medical physics services to healthcare facilities. For all but the largest research-based facilities, hiring a consulting medical physics group is generally more cost effective than employing a full-time physicist. Services are provided through annual contracts that include allowances for emergency surveys, new equipment installation surveys, meter calibrations, shieldings, and dose estimates.

Core offering

Krueger-Gilbert Health Physics provides consulting diagnostic medical physics and health physics services to healthcare facilities on annual contracts, covering performance testing of diagnostic imaging equipment (CT, MRI, PET, Mammography, Ultrasound, Fluoroscopy, Radiography), ACR/Joint Commission/MQSA accreditation support, Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) services, occupational and patient dosimetry programs, radioactive materials licensing, shielding design, and radiation safety training. The firm employs board-certified physicists across five specialty boards who deliver on-site services to 400+ clients primarily in the Mid-Atlantic region, positioning consulting physics as a more cost-effective alternative to full-time in-house physicists for all but the largest research-based facilities.

Product overview

Krueger-Gilbert Health Physics offers a comprehensive suite of diagnostic medical physics and health physics consulting services delivered as an integrated portfolio of professional services rather than a software platform. The core offerings span six imaging modalities (Computed Tomography, Mammography, MRI, Nuclear Imaging/PET, Fluoroscopy & Radiography, and Ultrasound) supported by a full range of service modules including ACR accreditation assistance, annual and initial performance testing, CT protocol review, RSO services, occupational and patient dosimetry, radiation safety and regulatory support, shielding design, and training. The company serves 400+ clients primarily in the Mid-Atlantic region (MD, VA, DC, WV, PA & DE) with a team of physicists representing five different specialty boards, all holding advanced degrees from Masters to PhDs.

Direct peers

• West Physics Consulting: National diagnostic medical physics consulting firm providing ACR accreditation, equipment testing, and radiation safety services to hospitals and imaging centers — directly overlapping with KGHP's core offering across a broader geography.
• Radiation Safety Associates, Inc. Diagnostic and health physics consulting firm offering medical physics testing, RSO services, and accreditation support for hospitals and imaging centers — a direct competitor to KGHP in the Mid-Atlantic/Southeast U.S.
• Versant Medical Physics: Independent diagnostic medical physics consulting group providing equipment performance testing, ACR/Joint Commission accreditation support, and shielding design — closely matching KGHP's service portfolio.
• Radiological Physics Consultants: Diagnostic medical physics consulting practice serving hospitals and outpatient imaging centers with accreditation, dose monitoring, and equipment performance evaluations similar to KGHP's offerings.

Broad incumbents

• Landauer (Fluke Health Solutions / Fortive): Long-standing global provider of occupational dosimetry, radiation monitoring, and physics consulting services; competes with KGHP's dosimetry and radiation safety offerings but as part of a much larger diversified portfolio under Fortive.
• Mirion Technologies: Public radiation detection and safety services company with a Health Physics services division (acquired Dade Moeller & Associates) that performs consulting, dosimetry, and accreditation work overlapping with KGHP's RSO and regulatory services.

Emerging players

• Capintec: Nuclear medicine equipment and dose calibrator manufacturer that also supports nuclear medicine and PET physics services; partial overlap with KGHP's Nuclear Imaging/PET modality services and shielding work.
• RTI Group: Provider of X-ray QA hardware, software, and professional physics services for diagnostic imaging; competes with KGHP in fluoroscopy, radiography, and CT QA but with more emphasis on instrumentation.

Regional players

• DxTx Medical (Medical Physics Services): Diagnostic medical physics and equipment testing firm serving specific U.S. regions with ACR accreditation, RSO, and shielding services — comparable business model to KGHP but operating in different geographies.

Others

• Radcal Corporation: Manufacturer of radiation measurement instruments (X-ray, mammography, CT diagnostic meters) used by diagnostic medical physicists; adjacent supplier to KGHP's testing workflows rather than a direct service competitor.
