Green Imaging

Question / Intervention Goal / Objectives

Green Imaging is owned and operated by board-certified radiologists who manage a virtual medical imaging network (CT scans. MRIs, x-rays, etc.) with locations nationwide. The company offers transparent pricing, centralized scheduling, software that keeps providers up to date on status of referrals, and centralized viewing and reporting software. The objective is to provide quality medical imaging services for a lower cost.
