Tower Radiology Centers

What Tower Radiology Centers does

Tower Radiology Centers, operating under the legal name TGH Imaging, is the largest physician-owned and operated outpatient radiology practice in the Tampa Bay region, founded in 1992 and functioning as the radiology division of Tampa General Hospital, a major regional nonprofit health system. The practice delivers a comprehensive diagnostic imaging portfolio spanning MRI/MRA (including 3T systems and specialized breast, prostate, and elastography protocols), CT/CTA (including low-dose lung screening and coronary CT angiography), 3D mammography with tomosynthesis, X-ray, PET/CT (including FDG, amyloid, axumin, dotatate, and sodium fluoride scans), ultrasound, nuclear medicine, and image-guided breast biopsy, all under ACR accreditation across ten imaging modalities. Its primary differentiator is a bench of fellowship-trained subspecialized radiologists across ten clinical domains (Women's Imaging, Neuroradiology, Musculoskeletal, Cardiac, Thoracic, Body, Pediatric, Nuclear Medicine, Vascular Interventional, and Neurointerventional Radiology), which it markets as the basis for diagnostic accuracy.

The practice generates revenue on a fee-for-service basis, billing patients and insurance providers per imaging procedure across multiple imaging center locations in the Tampa Bay metropolitan area. Its go-to-market is primarily referral-driven, anchored by physician relationships and the integrated Tampa General Hospital network, supplemented by direct patient scheduling (online, phone, walk-in X-ray), the Epic MyChart patient portal, and the EpicLink PACS portal for referring providers. Brand visibility is amplified by its designation as the Official Radiology Partner of the Tampa Bay Lightning NHL team. The Tampa Bay operating geography is narrow but deep, with no evidence of expansion outside the region, no M&A activity, no external funding rounds, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities — characteristics consistent with a mature, stable, regionally concentrated healthcare services operation rather than a growth-stage venture.

Core offering

Tower Radiology Centers, operating as TGH Imaging, provides outpatient diagnostic imaging services across multiple modalities including MRI/MRA, CT/CTA, 3D mammography tomosynthesis, X-ray, PET/CT, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, and breast biopsy. Services are delivered by fellowship-trained subspecialized radiologists across ten subspecialties and are supported by ACR-accredited imaging equipment at multiple locations throughout the Tampa Bay region. The practice is integrated with Tampa General Hospital and uses Epic PACS (EpicLink) and MyChart for clinical workflow and patient access.

Product overview

TGH Imaging (an operating name of Tower Radiology Centers / Tampa General Hospital Radiology) provides a comprehensive, unified diagnostic imaging service portfolio spanning ten imaging modalities — MRI/MRA, CT/CTA, 3D Mammography, X-Ray, PET/CT, Ultrasound, Nuclear Medicine, and Breast Biopsy — alongside ten subspecialized radiology reading services staffed by fellowship-trained radiologists. The service portfolio functions as a single integrated clinical offering rather than a modular software platform; patients access all services through shared scheduling, billing, and records infrastructure, and providers connect through the Epic PACS (EpicLink) workflow. The company holds ACR accreditation across all major imaging modalities and serves as the official radiology partner of the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Direct peers

• US Radiology Specialists: Network of subspecialized radiology practices partnering with hospitals and health systems. Directly comparable on the talent/subspecialist model and the hospital-affiliated GTM motion.
• RadNet: Largest U.S. operator of outpatient diagnostic imaging centers with a similar multi-modality portfolio (MRI, CT, mammography, PET/CT, ultrasound). Direct peer in scale of services and physician-led operating model, though at far greater geographic breadth.
• Akumin: Outpatient imaging center operator offering MRI, CT, PET/CT, mammography, ultrasound, and X-ray across multiple U.S. regions. Closely comparable multi-modality, multi-site outpatient model with similar payor mix dynamics.
• Center for Diagnostic Imaging (CDI): Outpatient imaging provider offering MRI, CT, mammography, ultrasound, and image-guided procedures. Similar multi-modality ambulatory radiology model with payor-contracted services.
• SimonMed Imaging: Physician-led outpatient imaging network offering subspecialized reads and a comprehensive modality portfolio including 3D mammography and advanced MRI/CT. Comparable on clinical model, modality mix, and payor-driven fee-for-service revenue.
• MedQuest Associates: Outpatient imaging center operator with multi-modality offerings and hospital-affiliated relationships. Comparable business model and service portfolio, including mammography, MRI, CT, and image-guided procedures.

Broad incumbents

• Envision Healthcare: National physician services group with a radiology services arm serving hospitals and outpatient sites. Comparable in providing radiology physician staffing and reads, though Envision operates across multiple physician specialties.
• HCA Healthcare: Large hospital system with embedded diagnostic imaging services across its facilities. Comparable in modality offering and hospital-affiliated delivery, but operates as a broad incumbent across many service lines, not a focused outpatient radiology platform.

Regional players

• AdventHealth: Regional, faith-based health system with owned outpatient imaging centers in Florida and adjacent Southeast markets. Comparable in operating hospital-affiliated outpatient imaging in overlapping Florida geographies.
• BayCare Health System: Tampa Bay-based health system with its own outpatient imaging footprint. Direct regional competitor for both consumer and provider-referred imaging volume in the same primary market.
