What Vidi - nora imagerie does

Vidi - nora imagerie is a radiologist-owned medical imaging group headquartered in Le Havre, Normandy, France, operating 18 imaging centers across four departments (Calvados, Eure, Manche, Seine-Maritime) under the legal entity SCM MANAGE IT. The group was founded in 1990 as GRE (Groupe de Radiologie de l'Estuaire) and rebranded to Nora Imagerie in February 2022 following mergers with radiology practices in Lisieux, Criqueboeuf-Deauville, and Honfleur. Since December 2016 it has been a founding member of the Vidi network (78 imaging groups, 1,300+ specialist physicians, 450 sites across France), and in July 2024 it consolidated with Vidi Capital, a physician-owned investment vehicle, while retaining local governance under President Dr Philippe de Vanssay and Director General Dr Nicolas Puech.

The group's core product is a comprehensive diagnostic and interventional imaging portfolio — 1.5T and 3T MRI, CT, digital radiography, ultrasound, mammography with tomosynthesis, EOS full-body low-dose imaging (Nobel laureate technology), coronary CT, dental Cone Beam, bone densitometry, pediatric radiology, and interventional radiology (infiltrations, vascular procedures, PRP injections). Supporting infrastructure includes the INFINITT PACS/RIS physician portal, secure 24/7 patient results access, integration with France's national Mon Espace Santé, teleradiology for rapid off-site reporting, and an AI-powered voice assistant deployed to manage 350,000+ annual patient calls. The technology stack combines best-in-class OEM equipment (Siemens Healthineers MAGNETOM Flow.Ace, Siemens Altea, EOS) with commercial scheduling integrations (Easydoct across 13 centers, Doctolib at Saint-Lô).

Nora Imagerie serves 250,000+ patients per year through a hybrid direct-to-consumer and B2B go-to-market: patients book online or via phone, while referrals flow from a regional network of general practitioners, specialists, and institutional partners including Hôpital Privé de l'Estuaire (24/7 emergency imaging) and four GIE public-private hospital partnerships (Juliobona/Lillebonne, Pays d'Auge, Pays de Caux/Fécamp, la Risle/Pont Audemer). Revenue is generated on a fee-for-service basis through French Sécurité Sociale reimbursements under CCAM tariffs plus patient co-payments, supported by the OPTAM contractual framework. The group employs approximately 180 staff including 35 specialist radiologists, 72 manipulateurs polyvalents, 80 medical secretaries, and 5 nurses.

• Cerba Healthcare: European leader in clinical diagnostics and specialty testing with growing exposure to imaging-adjacent services, operating as a broader incumbent in the French ambulatory diagnostics market.
• Vivalto Santé: French private hospital group operating multiple clinics in Normandy and northwestern France with on-site imaging, providing both competitive capacity and partnership opportunities similar to Nora imagerie's GIE arrangements.
• ELSAN: Major French private hospital operator running in-house imaging capacity at its clinics and competing for the same referring-physician demand and radiologist talent pool as Nora imagerie in overlapping Normandy catchments.
• Ramsay Santé: Leading French private hospital group with integrated imaging services at many of its sites, representing a larger incumbent competing for imaging referrals and specialist physician employment in the Normandy region.
• Almaviva Santé: French private hospital operator with clinics across France including Normandy, operating in-house imaging and competing with independent groups for radiologist staffing and referring-physician loyalty.
