Paesanos Parkway Imaging

What Paesanos Parkway Imaging does

Paesanos Parkway Imaging is a privately held, single-location outpatient MRI diagnostic imaging center operating from 3603 Paesanos Parkway #110 in San Antonio, Texas, serving patients across San Antonio and South Central Texas. The facility is ACR Accredited by the American College of Radiology and operates a single Siemens MAGNETOM Vida 3 Tesla MRI scanner equipped with BioMatrix Technology, which the company highlights as the first MRI scanner with adaptive patient-specific imaging capabilities, including automated respiratory sensing, touch-panel patient positioning, Compressed Sensing Cardiac Cine, and Compressed Sensing GRASP-VIBE for free-breathing liver imaging.

The company's service portfolio spans six core MRI modalities — Neurology, Orthopedics, Spine, Body, Pediatrics, and Cardiology — complemented by three tiered self-pay scan packages (Torso Scan at $999, Head & Torso Scan at $1,799, and Whole Body Scan at $2,395). Revenue is generated through a combination of insurance billing (in-network with Aetna, United Healthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana, GEHA, Friday Health Insurance, US Imaging, Texas True Choice, and Workers' Compensation carriers), flat-rate cash payments, and CareCredit financing for qualified patients. The facility files insurance claims on behalf of patients, handles insurance verification and authorization, and delivers diagnostic results to ordering physicians within 24-72 hours via a PACS portal.

The go-to-market operates on two parallel channels: direct-to-consumer acquisition (patients can self-refer, primarily for preventive whole-body scans) and physician referral-driven acquisition, supported by a dedicated PACS access system for referring clinicians. The company serves "hundreds of patients" annually from a single physical site, with no disclosed multi-location footprint, no parent company, no institutional investment, and no management team publicly identified. Ownership structure, founding date, revenue figures, and headcount are not disclosed in available materials, representing material data gaps for any investment thesis.

Emerging players

• EZRA: EZRA is a direct-to-consumer whole-body MRI screening company offering preventive full-body scans at flat-rate prices. Comparable to Paesanos' preventive whole-body scan offering and DTC motion, but operates via partner imaging centers rather than owned scanners.

Broad incumbents

• Akumin: Akumin operates a national network of outpatient imaging centers offering MRI, CT, and other diagnostic services. It is a broad incumbent comparable to Paesanos in service mix but operates at significantly larger scale and geographic breadth.

Direct peers

• SimonMed Imaging: SimonMed is one of the largest physician-owned outpatient imaging networks in the U.S., offering MRI, CT, and screening services. Comparable to Paesanos in offering MRI including screening packages and serving both referred and self-pay patients.
• RAYUS Radiology: RAYUS Radiology (formerly Center for Diagnostic Imaging) operates outpatient imaging centers providing MRI, CT, and other modalities with physician referral workflows. It is a direct peer in outpatient diagnostic MRI delivery, comparable in service scope and patient/physician orientation.
• Touchstone Medical Imaging: Touchstone Medical Imaging operates outpatient imaging centers offering MRI and other modalities. Comparable to Paesanos as a regional outpatient MRI provider focused on physician referrals and patient-friendly scheduling.
• Envision Radiology: Envision Radiology operates outpatient diagnostic imaging centers with MRI among their core offerings. Direct peer in the outpatient MRI service category, comparable in modality mix and physician-driven GTM.
• Princeton Radiology: Princeton Radiology is a physician-owned outpatient imaging practice offering MRI and other modalities. Comparable to Paesanos as a specialty outpatient imaging provider focused on diagnostic quality and referring-physician relationships.

Others

• Siemens Healthineers: Siemens Healthineers manufactures the MAGNETOM Vida 3T MRI scanner that Paesanos operates. It is the strategic technology partner that supplies Paesanos' core equipment and is adjacent as the ecosystem provider enabling its diagnostic capability.

Regional players
