Excel Diagnostic Imaging Clinics

What Excel Diagnostic Imaging Clinics does

Excel Diagnostics & Nuclear Oncology Center (EDNOC), founded circa 2004 by Ebrahim S. Delpassand, MD, is a privately held outpatient diagnostic imaging and nuclear therapeutic facility operating from a single location at 9701 Richmond Ave Suite 122 in Houston, Texas. The center delivers a full suite of imaging modalities — PET/CT, SPECT/CT, MRI, CT, Digital X-Ray, DEXA, and Ultrasound — alongside a broad radiopharmaceutical therapy program including I-131 for thyroid disease, Lutathera (Lu-177) for neuroendocrine tumors, and Pluvicto (Lu-177 PSMA) for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, plus investigational agents under Expanded Access Programs. It also administers a consumer-paid Wellness Direct Program for preventive screening and runs 10+ sponsored clinical trials in radiopharmaceuticals in collaboration with academic institutions, CROs, and pharmaceutical sponsors under GCP/CITI-trained staff.

The facility is designated as a Radiopharmaceutical Therapy Center of Excellence (RTCOE) by the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) since 2020 — among the first private outpatient U.S. sites to obtain this status — and serves as a pioneer in introducing several new diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals to the United States, with strategic alignment to sister company RadioMedix. Its technology stack includes AI-augmented MRI analysis modules (icobrain ARIA and icobrain DM) for Alzheimer's and dementia monitoring, patient portal access via Purview, physician portal via RamSoft PACS, and CareCredit-enabled patient financing.

Revenue is generated across four transaction-based streams: (1) fee-for-service diagnostic imaging paid via Medicare, commercial insurance, or cash; (2) per-cycle radionuclide therapy billing; (3) the Wellness Direct Program paid out-of-pocket by patients; and (4) professional services revenue from sponsored clinical trial conduct. Distribution is direct to patients through physician referrals, walk-ins, and self-pay channels, with no retail or online distribution beyond portal-based scheduling and results access. The company maintains a 4.8 Google rating across 162 reviews and reports 10,000+ satisfied patients served over its operating history.

Broad incumbents

• Akumin: Outpatient diagnostic imaging chain operating fixed-site centers with MRI, CT, PET/CT, and nuclear medicine. Direct competitor in the outpatient imaging category where EDNOC operates.
• RadNet: Largest U.S. outpatient imaging network with ~370 centers, offering MRI, CT, PET/CT, and related services. Comparable to EDNOC's core diagnostic imaging business at vastly greater scale.
• Center for Diagnostic Imaging (CDI): Outpatient imaging network offering MRI, CT, PET/CT, and women's imaging. Comparable outpatient imaging business model, though broader geographic footprint.
• SimonMed Imaging: One of the largest U.S. outpatient imaging networks, including PET/CT and MRI. Competitor for physician referrals and self-pay imaging patients, particularly in Texas-adjacent markets.
• Curium: Global nuclear medicine company producing diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals. Supplier-comparator relevant to EDNOC's PET tracer sourcing and therapy operations.
• US Radiology Specialists: National outpatient imaging platform (subsidiary of Bain Capital) with fixed sites, teleradiology, and women's imaging. Direct comparator in the multi-site outpatient imaging model EDNOC could aspire to.
• Lantheus Holdings: Major radiopharmaceutical manufacturer (DEFINITY, PYLARIFY, Point Biopharma acquisition). Strategic comparator and upstream supplier — Lantheus-developed agents underpin much of EDNOC's PET/CT and Lu-177 therapy volume.

Emerging players

• Monopar Therapeutics: Clinical-stage radiopharma company partnered with EDNOC on the MNPR-101 Expanded Access Program. Partner-comparable due to overlapping theranostics focus and clinical pipeline in uPAR-expressing cancers.
• Telix Pharmaceuticals: Commercial-stage radiopharma company with Illuccix (Ga-68 PSMA) and a growing theranostics pipeline. Peer in the broader theranostics ecosystem where EDNOC serves as a treatment/imaging site.

Regional players

• Touchstone Imaging: Outpatient imaging operator with centers across Texas and the South, including MRI, CT, and PET/CT. Geographic competitor in the same regional referral ecosystem as EDNOC's Houston facility.
