What MedQuest does

MedQuest Associates, doing business as MedQuest Imaging, is a US-based manager of outpatient diagnostic imaging facilities headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia. The company operates a mixed network of more than 60 independent, hospital-affiliated, and mobile radiology centers on behalf of hospitals and healthcare systems, with named relationships including Novant Health (over a decade), University of Maryland Charles Regional Medical Center, and North Mississippi Health Services. Service modules include turnkey joint venture and management services, mobile MRI unit management, women's imaging services, end-to-end outpatient radiology workflow management, and freestanding outpatient imaging network development. Underlying technology is conventional diagnostic imaging equipment paired with supporting infrastructure for scheduling, billing, collections, marketing, and clinical coordination; no proprietary AI products are publicly disclosed.

MedQuest's business model is managed services revenue generated through joint venture structures and management service agreements with hospital partners. The company is compensated via management fees and/or profit-sharing arrangements, with capital burden shared between MedQuest and partner health systems to stretch partner capital dollars. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales — direct engagement with hospital C-suite and radiology leadership through decades-old industry relationships. Pricing is custom and not publicly disclosed; services are tailored per health system. In February 2026, MedQuest was acquired by Angeion, a platform backed by private equity firm Renovus, placing the company under PE ownership while the leadership team — including CEO Bruce Elder and a deep CXO bench — continues to operate the business under the MedQuest Imaging brand.
