Core offering

MRI (Medizinisch Radiologisches Institut Zürich) is a private diagnostic radiology practice that delivers a comprehensive suite of medical imaging examinations, including MRI, CT, PET/CT, mammography, ultrasound, X-ray, nuclear medicine, and interventional radiology procedures, to patients referred by their physicians. Services are performed across four Zurich locations and a dedicated interventional radiology day clinic, with imaging reports typically issued on the same day and made available electronically to patients and referring doctors.

Product overview

The Medizinisch Radiologische Institut (MRI) operates as a multi-location medical imaging practice in Zurich, offering a comprehensive portfolio of radiological and nuclear medicine diagnostic services. The core offering consists of four primary imaging modalities (MRI, CT, PET/CT, Digital X-ray) supplemented by specialized services including mammography, ultrasound, nuclear medicine (scintigraphy, SPECT/CT), bone density (DEXA), and interventional radiology. The institute is organized across five locations: MRI Bahnhofplatz (opened 2005), MRI Stadelhofen (opened 2011), MRI Bahnhof Oerlikon (10th floor Franklin Tower), MRI Schulthess Klinik (musculoskeletal focus, opened 2020), and MRI Interventional Radiology (9th floor Franklin Tower, opened October 2024). The practice emphasizes technological pioneering with first whole-body CT and first private PET/CT in Canton Zurich, and maintains independence from hospitals and financial investors while maintaining close professional networks.

Products and services

• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Magnetic resonance imaging examinations using strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed cross-sectional images without X-ray radiation, available at all four Zurich locations in 3 Tesla and 1.5 Tesla variants for referred patients.
• Computed Tomography (CT) Computed tomography using X-rays to produce detailed cross-sectional images, available at all four locations with 64-row and 128-row multidetector scanners, including Dual Energy CT applications at Schulthess Klinik, for referred patients.
• PET/CT Positron Emission Tomography combined with CT for functional and anatomical imaging, primarily used in oncology for tumor detection and staging, available at MRI Stadelhofen with time-of-flight technology for referred patients.
• Digital Mammography with Tomosynthesis Digital mammography including tomosynthesis for breast cancer screening and diagnosis, offered at MRI Bahnhofplatz and MRI Stadelhofen with dose-saving fine-focus technology for referred patients.
• Digital Radiography (X-ray) Digital radiography using luminescent storage plates instead of photographic film, reducing radiation exposure while providing immediate image viewing and digital archiving for referred patients.
• Osteodensitometry (DEXA Bone Densitometry) Bone density measurement using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry for osteoporosis diagnosis and fracture risk assessment, available at MRI Bahnhofplatz for referred patients.
• Ultrasound (Sonography) Ultrasound diagnostic imaging using high-frequency sound waves, suitable for abdomen, joints, vessels, thyroid, and breast examinations without ionizing radiation for referred patients.
• Scintigraphy and SPECT/CT Nuclear medicine imaging including skeletal scintigraphy, thyroid scintigraphy, renal function scintigraphy, lung perfusion scintigraphy, and DaTSCAN for Parkinson's disease assessment, available at MRI Stadelhofen for referred patients.
• Interventional Radiology Minimally invasive image-guided treatments for vascular diseases and oncological, musculoskeletal, urological, gynecological, and gastroenterological conditions, performed at the new day clinic on the 9th floor of Franklin Tower at Oerlikon for referred patients.
• Neuroradiology Comprehensive neuroradiology service including brain imaging, epilepsy evaluation, cerebrovascular assessment, MR spectroscopy, dental/maxillary imaging, ENT radiology, myelography, and dementia MRI, available at all four locations with 3 Tesla MR technology for referred patients.
• Nuclear Medicine Nuclear medicine department offering PET/CT with multiple tracers (FDG, PSMA, DOTATATE, Fluorocholin) and various scintigraphy examinations at MRI Stadelhofen for referred patients.

Direct peers

• Medbase: Swiss outpatient medical services group including primary care, specialist practices, and diagnostic imaging across multiple cantons. Closest Swiss peer to MRI: operates private outpatient diagnostic services reimbursed via Swiss health insurance with similar referral-driven GTM.
• Affidea: European outpatient imaging and diagnostics operator with a network of centers offering MRI, CT, PET/CT, ultrasound, and interventional procedures. Directly comparable to MRI as a multi-site private imaging network serving referring physicians and patients.
• Inovie Group: French private medical biology and imaging group operating outpatient diagnostic centers with MRI, CT, and laboratory services. Comparable to MRI as a multi-site private diagnostics provider with similar fee-for-service reimbursement model.

Broad incumbents

• Synlab: Europe's largest medical diagnostics services provider, offering clinical laboratory and imaging services across many countries. Comparable business model to MRI (fee-for-service outpatient diagnostics reimbursed via statutory/ private health systems), though at vastly greater scale.
• Sonic Healthcare: Global diagnostics provider with imaging operations in Australia, Europe, and the US, including radiology practices serving outpatient referrals. Comparable to MRI in core service offering (diagnostic imaging for referring physicians) but at vastly larger scale.
• Hirslanden Group: Switzerland's largest private hospital group with on-site diagnostic imaging (MRI, CT, PET) at multiple hospital locations. Competes with MRI for imaging referrals in Zurich and broader Switzerland but as part of a broader inpatient/ outpatient hospital portfolio.
• Unilabs: Pan-European diagnostics group offering laboratory and imaging services across multiple countries. Comparable to MRI as a private diagnostic imaging provider with multi-site outpatient operations, though significantly larger and geographically diversified.

Others

• Siemens Healthineers: Global medical imaging equipment manufacturer whose MRI, CT, and PET/CT systems (e.g., MAGNETOM, SOMATOM, Biograph) underpin MRI Zürich's scanner fleet. Comparable as an enabling technology and infrastructure vendor rather than a direct competitor.
• GE HealthCare: Major medical imaging equipment and digital health vendor supplying MRI, CT, PET/CT, and PACS solutions used by private radiology practices including MRI Zürich. Comparable as an enabling vendor rather than a competitor.

Regional players

• Radiologie München: Multi-site private radiology practice in the Munich/DACH region offering MRI, CT, mammography, and interventional procedures. Comparable in service mix and outpatient multi-site model to MRI, but operating primarily in Germany rather than Switzerland.
