What Centro de Diagnóstico Clínico e por Imagem does

Centro de Diagnóstico Clínico e por Imagem (CDI) is a privately held diagnostic imaging center founded in 2018 and headquartered at Rua Tobias Barreto, 7 - Centro, Petrolina, Pernambuco, Brazil. The facility delivers four core imaging modalities — 3T and 1.5T Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Computed Tomography, Ultrasound, and Hemodynamics — to a regional patient base in the São Francisco Valley. Operations run 24 hours per day, supported by WhatsApp-based scheduling, a patient results portal, and a separate physician portal for image/report access and referral management.

CDI's revenue is generated through three channels: private-pay patients, contracted reimbursement from 23 health insurance networks (including Unimed, Amil, Bradesco Saúde, SulAmérica, and Golden Cross), and Brazil's public SUS system. The medical team is led by radiologist Américo Mota (CRM 19535, Diretor do CDI), together with Aquino Santana and Rafael Valois; all three co-founded and instruct at Instituto Educacional AMMO and co-authored a 2021 medical book, creating an embedded education-and-training pipeline. Equipment and software partnerships include Carestream (medical imaging technology) and Clinikus (report portal), and the center runs an active 'Trabalhe Conosco' recruitment flow for clinical and medical staff.

The company is physician-owned with no external private equity or venture capital involvement and no disclosed funding history. Strategic emphasis is on being the leading high-resolution imaging provider in the São Francisco Valley through continuous operation, broad insurance coverage, and medical-education-driven brand authority rather than on rapid multi-site expansion, AI-enabled diagnostics, or digital health adjacencies.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• DASA (Diagnósticos da América): Brazil's largest diagnostic medicine chain, operating hundreds of imaging and laboratory sites across the country. Overlaps with CDI in MRI, CT, and ultrasound services, but at vastly greater scale and with national geographic reach.
• Fleury Medicina e Saúde: Major Brazilian diagnostic chain offering imaging and lab services across multiple states. Comparable in core services (MRI, CT, ultrasound) but with broader geographic footprint, established brand, and large-scale payer contracts.
• Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein: Brazilian premium hospital system with a large in-house diagnostic imaging department (MRI, CT, ultrasound, hemodynamics). Operates as a broad incumbent offering overlapping imaging services, though anchored in hospital-based care rather than standalone imaging centers.
• Sabin Diagnósticos e Saúde: Brazilian diagnostic chain concentrated in the Central-West and expanding nationally. Offers similar imaging modalities (MRI, CT, ultrasound) and works with the same private insurance and corporate health clients as CDI.
• Alliar Médicos à Frente: Multi-state Brazilian diagnostic imaging operator with MRI, CT, and ultrasound capabilities. Competes in the same outpatient diagnostic imaging category as CDI but operates a national network with corporate payer relationships.
• Hermes Pardini (Grupo DASA): Brazilian diagnostic chain now part of Grupo DASA, offering imaging and laboratory services nationwide. Comparable service mix to CDI's MRI/CT/ultrasound offering but with broader scale and integration.

Regional players

• Centro de Diagnóstico por Imagem (CDI) Salvador: Independent diagnostic imaging center operating in Salvador/BA, a city within CDI Petrolina's broader regional catchment. Similar service offering (MRI, CT, ultrasound) for insured and private patients, but in a different metropolitan market.
