Under the agreement, Digirad and the Medical Center will offer their respective services and expertise to primary-care physicians in the Chicago area who are seeking to expand their practices with in-office diagnostic imaging.
Through its mobile imaging services division, Digirad Imaging Solutions (DIS), Digirad will bring state-of-the-art equipment and qualified, trained personnel into physicians’ offices to perform imaging procedures. Patients’ images will then be interpreted by Medical Center physicians and the results sent electronically to the referring physician.
Mark Casner, CEO of Digirad, said: “This relationship promises to generate substantial benefits for patients, including the clearest and most accurate images available, readings by highly skilled specialists, and the comfort of knowing that their own doctors will remain closely involved in their care.”
