Clinix

What Clinix does

Clinix is a private, Quebec City-based medical imaging and intervention clinic that operates three locations (Place de la Cité, Le Mesnil, and Val-Bélair) serving the Capitale-Nationale region. The company provides six core diagnostic and interventional services: general radiology, mammography (with a distinctive double-reading protocol in which two radiologists independently review each screening exam), ultrasound, DEXA bone densitometry, joint infiltration, and first-trimester nuchal translucency screening for prenatal care. The organization was founded in 1974 by Dr. Claude Roy as Clinique Radiologique Quatre-Bourgeois and has operated continuously for over 50 years under the current Clinix Imagerie médicale et intervention brand.

The underlying technology stack consists of conventional medical imaging modalities (X-ray, mammography, ultrasound, DEXA) coupled with the third-party Synapse PACS platform from NeuronSphere for image storage and physician access. A proprietary operational protocol, the double-reading mammography workflow, functions as the principal clinical quality differentiator. Partnerships with Prenato (combined prenatal screening incorporating nuchal translucency imaging plus genetic testing) and Biokin (diagnostic technology integration) extend the service offering beyond standalone imaging.

Clinix generates revenue by billing medical imaging and interventional services to patients and to Quebec's public health insurance plan (RAMQ) for eligible residents. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer within a regional catchment: patients are referred by physicians or self-refer for eligible preventive screenings, with appointments booked via an online form on cliniximagerie.com or by phone. Marketing channels are primarily physician referrals and the company's professional web presence, with limited traditional direct-to-consumer advertising beyond modality-specific campaigns such as the 2025 mammography initiative. Pricing for insured services is set by RAMQ fee schedules and is not publicly disclosed for uninsured or non-resident services.

Core offering

Clinix operates three outpatient medical imaging clinics in Quebec City that deliver diagnostic radiology, mammography, ultrasound, bone densitometry (DEXA), joint infiltration injections, and nuchal translucency screening to referred and self-referred patients. Imaging examinations are interpreted by radiologists and reports are delivered to referring physicians through the Espace Médecin portal, while covered services are billed to Quebec's public health insurance (RAMQ).

Product overview

Clinix is a specialized medical imaging and intervention clinic operating as a single unified healthcare service provider. The clinic offers six core diagnostic and interventional imaging services: Radiologie générale (general radiology), Mammographie (mammography with dual-radiologist review), Échographie (ultrasound), Ostéodensitométrie (DEXA bone densitometry), Infiltration (joint injections), and Clarté nucale (nuchal translucency screening). These services are delivered across three clinic locations in Quebec City—Place de la Cité, Le Mesnil, and Val-Bélair—providing comprehensive radiology, medical imaging, and interventional services to the Capitale-Nationale region. Founded in 1974 as Clinique Radiologique Quatre-Bourgeois, the organization has over 50 years of experience in medical imaging.

Products and services

• General Radiology (Radiologie générale) Standard diagnostic X-ray examinations offered as an outpatient imaging service to patients referred by physicians and to walk-in patients in Quebec City. Covered examinations are billed to RAMQ; the service is delivered at all three Clinix clinic locations.
• Mammography (Mammographie) Breast imaging screening and diagnostic mammography examinations performed under a double-reading protocol in which two independent radiologists interpret each study. Targeted at women referred for breast cancer screening and diagnosis in the Quebec City area; covered examinations are billed to RAMQ.
• Ultrasound (Échographie) Diagnostic ultrasound imaging examinations offered to patients referred by physicians for a range of clinical indications. Some ultrasound examinations are not covered by RAMQ and can be self-booked and paid out-of-pocket via the Clinix website.
• Bone Densitometry / DEXA (Ostéodensitométrie) Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) bone densitometry scans used to assess bone mineral density and risk of osteoporosis. Offered as an outpatient imaging service to referred patients in Quebec City.
• Joint Injections / Infiltration Therapeutic joint injection (infiltration) procedures performed at Clinix clinics, typically under imaging guidance, for referred patients requiring targeted intra-articular treatment.
• Nuchal Translucency Screening (Clarté nucale) First-trimester nuchal translucency ultrasound used for prenatal screening of chromosomal abnormalities. Targeted at pregnant patients, generally not covered by RAMQ, and bookable directly through the Clinix online appointment system.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• REO Radiologie (Réseau d'Examen et d'Imagerie): Quebec radiologist-owned medical imaging network offering radiology, ultrasound, and mammography services. Direct competitor in the Quebec outpatient imaging market with the same payer model.
• CDM Radiologie: Quebec imaging clinic providing general radiology, mammography, ultrasound, and bone density testing. Regional direct competitor with comparable service mix and public-payer billing.
• CDL Radiologie: Quebec radiologist group offering diagnostic imaging and radiological procedures. Comparable specialty outpatient imaging peer operating in the same province under the same reimbursement framework.
• Imagix Medical Imaging: Quebec-based chain of medical imaging clinics offering X-ray, mammography, ultrasound, and bone densitometry. Closest direct competitor to Clinix in the same province with similar multi-modality services and RAMQ billing model.

Broad incumbents

• RadNet: Large US outpatient imaging network (NYSE: RDNT) representing the consolidated, multi-region imaging-services model. Useful benchmark for the scale and operating leverage Clinix could pursue through partnerships or roll-ups.
• CML HealthCare (LifeLabs): Canadian diagnostic and laboratory services provider (now part of LifeLabs) with outpatient imaging across multiple provinces. Broader incumbent with overlapping imaging capability but national footprint and different scale.

Regional players

• Radiologie Joliette / Lanaudière Imaging: Quebec regional imaging clinic serving the Lanaudière area adjacent to Capitale-Nationale. Comparable service mix (X-ray, mammography, ultrasound) but operates in a different geographic catchment.
• University Radiology (Quebec) / CHUQ Radiology: Hospital-based radiology departments within the CHU de Québec network serve overlapping Capitale-Nationale demand with publicly funded imaging. Not a commercial competitor but a structural reference point for regional imaging capacity.

Others

• Synapse (FUJIFILM): FUJIFILM's Synapse PACS platform is Clinix's image archive and reporting system. Not a clinical competitor but a critical technology vendor whose roadmap shapes Clinix's digital workflow and AI-readiness.
• Prenato: Quebec-based prenatal screening partner offering genetic testing alongside Clinix's nuchal translucency imaging. Co-marketing partner rather than competitor; relevant for benchmarking strategic tie-ups in prenatal screening.
