RIMED

What RIMED does

RIMED operates as the Swiss operational radiology brand under Unilabs Radiology Switzerland, which is itself part of the pan-European Unilabs Group. Established in 1994 and headquartered in Zug, the company provides diagnostic imaging services across a network of 10 RIMED-branded radiology institute locations spanning the cantons of Zurich (Altstetten, Bellevue, Oerlikon, Sihlcity), Bern, St. Gallen, Schwyz, Winterthur, and Bellinzona/Giubiasco. RIMED Management GmbH serves as the Swiss management entity coordinating these operations alongside sister sub-brands — Adus Radiologie, Imagerie Médicale Caroline, CIMF, CID, and ImageRive — under the broader ~18-site Unilabs Radiology Switzerland umbrella. The company serves individual patients referred by physicians as well as the referring physicians themselves, the latter via an integrated digital platform for image, report, and subspecialized expert access.

RIMED's service portfolio spans the full diagnostic imaging modality set: MRI (including Fonar Upright/True Open MRI and Extremity Open MRI for claustrophobic and mobility-limited patients), CT (photon-counting CT, Cone Beam CT, and weight-bearing Curve Beam CT/PedCAT), digital X-ray, ultrasound, mammography, nuclear medicine imaging, angiography, fluoroscopy, DEXA bone density measurement, and image-guided biopsies including prostate fusion and vacuum-assisted biopsy. Clinical specialty areas include cardioradiology, dementia diagnostics, full body scanning, pain therapy/interventional radiology, senology/tomosynthesis, and uroradiology. Technology differentiators are concentrated in the Fonar upright open MRI platform, photon-counting CT, prostate fusion biopsy, and the integrated digital platform enabling subspecialized radiologist consultation.

RIMED generates revenue on a fee-for-service basis per diagnostic procedure, reimbursed through Switzerland's mandatory basic health insurance and supplementary plans at tariffs administered under the regulated TARMED system. The go-to-market is referral-driven — physicians act as the primary channel for patient acquisition — with the integrated digital platform reinforcing prescriber stickiness. The company holds the EuroSafe Imaging Stars recognition for medical imaging safety and quality standards. No public revenue figures, funding events, or IPO activity are disclosed.

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Unilabs Group: RIMED's parent company and operating partner; runs diagnostic services across laboratory medicine, radiology, and pathology in 15 countries. Most comparable at the network-and-platform level given RIMED operates as Unilabs Radiology Switzerland.

Direct peers

• Affidea: Pan-European outpatient diagnostic imaging operator (CT, MRI, ultrasound, X-ray) with a multi-country center network. Directly comparable to RIMED in modality mix and referral-driven outpatient imaging model.
• Evidia: European diagnostic imaging network operating MRI, CT, and X-ray centers across multiple countries. Closely comparable to RIMED as a multi-country, multi-modality outpatient imaging chain with referral-led GTM.

Broad incumbents

• RadNet: US-listed operator of outpatient diagnostic imaging centers with a large multi-modality network. Comparable business model to RIMED (referral-driven, multi-site outpatient imaging) at greater scale and breadth.
• Synlab: Large European diagnostics provider spanning laboratory medicine and imaging. Comparable to RIMED's positioning within Unilabs' integrated diagnostics platform, though Synlab's radiology footprint is narrower than its lab footprint.
• Cerba Healthcare: European diagnostics group offering laboratory and specialty diagnostic services across multiple countries. Comparable integrated-diagnostics orientation to RIMED within the Unilabs 360° network.
• Hirslanden: Switzerland's largest private hospital group with in-house radiology departments. Competes with RIMED for advanced imaging referrals and specialist-driven demand in the same Swiss market.

Regional players

• Inovie: French medical biology and specialty diagnostics network. Comparable diagnostic-services operating model but primarily France-focused, not overlapping directly with RIMED's Swiss footprint.
• Medicover: European healthcare and diagnostics provider operating clinics and laboratories across Central and Eastern Europe. Comparable integrated-diagnostics theme but does not directly compete in Switzerland.
• Medbase: Swiss outpatient medical network with radiology services and primary care. Comparable multi-modality ambulatory diagnostic offering to RIMED, though embedded within a broader primary-care delivery model.
