Tower Imaging Medical Group

What Tower Imaging Medical Group does

Tower Imaging Medical Group is a private, physician-led radiology practice founded in 1979 and headquartered in Sherman Oaks, California. The firm delivers a comprehensive suite of diagnostic and interventional radiology services across 9 imaging centers and hospital radiology departments in Southern California, including MRI (3T), CT, PET/CT, ultrasound, digital X-ray, mammography, breast MRI (with CADStream computer-aided detection), and image-guided interventional procedures. It is staffed by 40+ fellowship-trained, board-certified radiologists with subspecialty credentials from leading institutions such as Stanford, UCLA, USC, and UCSF.

The company generates revenue on a fee-for-service basis through physician referrals and hospital contracts, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Its go-to-market is a sales-led, referral-driven model anchored by long-standing relationships with referring physicians in the Southern California market and a core strategic partnership with Providence Health System, which provides radiology services at multiple Providence-affiliated hospitals and outpatient imaging centers. The practice also holds academic affiliations with UCLA, USC, UCSF, and UCI radiology departments, where Tower radiologists serve as clinical faculty.

Operationally, the firm uses a secure digital PACS for image and report access with turnaround typically within hours, supporting referring-physician workflows. Ownership is structured as a private radiology partnership under a physician self-management philosophy with a board of directors providing financial and strategic direction; no external institutional investors or parent company are identified. The firm competes on talent, geographic density, and reputation rather than on proprietary technology, with CADStream representing the only third-party AI-adjacent capability in the current stack.
