CEDUS

What CEDUS does

CEDUS (legal name CEDUS Diagnóstico por Imagem, CNPJ 38.727.038/0001-33) is a privately held diagnostic imaging center headquartered at Rua Aimorés 3095, Barro Preto, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Founded in 1975 by Dr. Wilson Eustáquio Silva, the company operates six units across the Belo Horizonte metropolitan region — Barro Preto, Barreiro, Venda Nova, and Hospitalar/Santa Efigênia within the city, plus Eldorado in Contagem and a unit in Betim. Its portfolio spans radiology (MRI, CT, digital mammography, digital X-ray, ultrasound including 3D/4D obstetric), cardiology (echocardiography, fetal echocardiography, stress test, Holter/MAPA, ECG), and ancillary diagnostics (bone densitometry, duplex scan, urodynamic studies, biopsy, surgical risk assessment). The technology stack incorporates AI-assisted radiology for image-level anomaly detection, real-time critical-case prioritization, cancer screening support, and automated reporting, supplemented by telemedicine consultations and digital result delivery. Technical direction is held by Dr. Arthur Ferreira Drummond (CRM 48694-MG, RQE 52285), and the center holds ISO 9001:2015 certification.

CEDUS generates revenue on a fee-for-service, transaction-based model, billing per imaging procedure to either private-pay patients (particular) or to health-insurance plans (convênios), of which Bradesco Saúde is the only named payer. Customer acquisition runs through six physical units, online pre-registration, a central phone line (31 3298-5500), and a WhatsApp booking link, with content marketing via blog and social channels (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn) supporting top-of-funnel demand. The patient base is broadly horizontal — covering newborns (transfontanelar ultrasound) through elderly patients — across all major diagnostic use cases.

CEDUS is family/founder-owned, employs 101–250 staff including over 90 specialist physicians, and operates exclusively within Minas Gerais. No subsidiaries, institutional investors, public funding rounds, M&A activity, or expansion beyond the Belo Horizonte metropolitan area were identified in source material.
