CNY Diagnostic Imaging Associates

What CNY Diagnostic Imaging Associates does

CNY Diagnostic Imaging Associates, LLC is a private outpatient diagnostic imaging center headquartered in Syracuse, New York. Founded in 1979 as the first multimodality outpatient imaging center in Central New York, the practice operates three locations across the Syracuse metropolitan area — The Hill Medical Center (Syracuse, headquarters), Brittonfield (East Syracuse), and Clay Medical Center (Liverpool) — each staffed by on-site board-certified radiologists during working hours. The company serves two customer bases: individual patients referred by physicians or self-scheduled for imaging exams, and referring physician practices (family medicine, internal medicine, OB/GYN, orthopedics) that rely on the practice for professional radiology interpretation.

The service portfolio spans high-field MRI (including breast MRI and MRI-guided biopsy), computed tomography (including low-dose CT lung cancer screening), full-field digital mammography with 3D tomosynthesis, ultrasound (including vascular/Doppler), X-ray, fluoroscopy, bone densitometry (DEXA), and multiple image-guided biopsy procedures (stereotactic, ultrasound-guided core, fine needle aspiration, and cyst aspiration). The practice holds American College of Radiology (ACR) accreditations across Mammography, Ultrasound, Vascular Ultrasound, CT, MRI, Stereotactic Breast Biopsy, and Breast MRI. A distinguishing technical layer is SecondReadAI, an FDA 510(k)-cleared computer vision tool built on Lunit INSIGHT that performs pixel-level analysis of mammograms (2D and 3D) and reports up to a 15% increase in early-stage cancer detection; the AI is offered as a $90 per-exam add-on outside the insurance billing channel.

The business operates on a fee-for-service model, billing most major insurances (Medicare, Medicaid, Compensation, No-Fault) for imaging exams with co-payment collected at time of service. A second revenue stream is Professional Reading Services, where the practice's radiologists interpret imaging captured by external physician practices, delivered with a 24-hour turnaround and STAT service via a HIPAA-compliant physician web portal. Since December 12, 2022, the company has operated as a Rezolut Partner under Rezolut, LLC, which provides operational and strategic support for expansion of imaging services in Central New York. No external venture funding, public listing, or institutional investment has been disclosed.

Core offering

CNY Diagnostic Imaging Associates is an outpatient diagnostic imaging practice that performs MRI, CT, digital and 3D mammography, ultrasound (including vascular/Doppler), X-ray, fluoroscopy, bone densitometry (DEXA), and image-guided biopsies across three Central New York locations. The practice also offers AI-enhanced mammography interpretation via SecondReadAI (Lunit INSIGHT) and provides professional radiology reading services to external physician practices.

Product overview

CNY Diagnostic Imaging is an outpatient diagnostic imaging center offering a broad portfolio of imaging modalities as a unified service portfolio across three locations in Central New York (Syracuse, East Syracuse, and Liverpool). The core offering spans MRI (including breast MRI and MRI-guided biopsy), CT (including low-dose lung cancer screening), digital mammography (2D and 3D/tomosynthesis), bone densitometry (DEXA), X-ray, fluoroscopy, and ultrasound (including vascular/Doppler). It differentiates through on-site radiologists at every location and an AI-assisted second-read layer called SecondReadAI (powered by Lunit INSIGHT) that enhances mammography interpretation with computer vision. A Professional Reading Services module extends radiologist interpretation to referring physician practices, and a Physician Web Portal provides real-time access to reports and images. The company was founded in 1979 as the first multimodality outpatient imaging center in Central New York and is now a Rezolut partner.

Increases early-stage cancer detection by up to 15%. Available at all three locations.
• Stereotactic Breast Biopsy Minimally invasive, image-guided biopsy technique using stereotactic (X-ray) guidance to obtain tissue samples from breast abnormalities. ACR accredited procedure.
• MRI-Guided Breast Biopsy Minimally invasive breast biopsy performed inside an MRI scanner where the patient lies face down on the MRI table, local anesthesia is administered, and a needle is guided by MRI to obtain tissue samples for analysis.
• Ultrasound-Guided Core Biopsy Minimally invasive biopsy technique using ultrasound guidance to locate the area of interest and direct a needle to obtain tissue core samples for analysis.
• Ultrasound-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy procedure using ultrasound guidance where a small needle is used to extract a small number of cells for cytological analysis.
• Ultrasound-Guided Cyst Aspiration Ultrasound-guided procedure using a needle to drain fluid from a cyst to determine whether it is a simple fluid-filled cyst or a complex/solid cyst requiring further investigation.
• Ultrasound (including Vascular/Doppler) High-frequency sound wave-based diagnostic imaging of internal organs, breasts, thyroid, and scrotum, including Doppler vascular studies. Offered at all locations with full vascular ultrasound accreditation.
• Fluoroscopy (General Radiology) Real-time X-ray imaging using contrast agents to visualize functioning internal organs such as the gastrointestinal tract, for screening of ulcers, polyps, cancer, and other intestinal illnesses.
