Tennessee-based Dedicated Imaging Solutions LLC will merge with Florida-based Advanced Imaging Systems (AIS).
Dedicated Imaging Solutions, a CT and MRI parts repair company in the third-party imaging marketplace, is currently operating within ISO-13485 quality standards, with full certification expected by the end of 2018. In addition to parts repair, Dedicated has geared up its proprietary X-ray tube repair protocol and recently started its in-house coil repair lab with the help of AIS. Dedicated will be be able to verify full-coil functionally after repair by testing on in-house quality assurance bays. Dedicated currently has multiple CT and MRI QA bays to ensure that all parts are repaired to OEM specifications and quality before reaching inventory. Dedicated has plans to install four additional full CT system test bays and another fully operational and shielded MRI test bay this year.
AIS currently houses an expansive third-party CT and MRI parts inventory with its main focus being to provide digital imaging equipment, service and parts. AIS also specializes in and offers installation/deinstallation of imaging equipment, mobile CT/MRI upgrades, and complete turn-key project management.
The merger will position AIS to expand its full-service capabilities to a national and international arena, and will poise Dedicated for accelerated growth as a supplier of fully refurbished, system-tested parts and equipment.
“The merger between the two companies allows both AIS and Dedicated Imaging Solutions to offer replacement parts, equipment and services to customers at a price that compliments the ever-changing third-party imaging market place without sacrificing quality,” said DIS President and CEO Chad Fowlkes.
The merger will also impact the European imaging marketplace.
“It only makes sense to offer our parts and services to our European counterparts, because their third-party marketplace is growing so rapidly, we want to see them succeed,” AIS CEO David Band said.
Dedicated will stay at its location near Nashville, Tennessee. AIS will remain in Pompano Beach, Florida.
