The biggest radiology AI deal just changed everything for imaging centers.
RadNet just dropped $270 million to acquire Gleamer, creating the world’s largest radiology clinical AI provider. This isn’t just another tech acquisition, it’s a fundamental shift in how we’ll deliver imaging services.
Here’s what makes this massive:
📊 The combined company will have 2,700+ client contracts across 50 countries
💰 Expected annual recurring revenue approaching $140 million by end of 2026
🚀 Gleamer achieved 90% compound annual growth from 2022 to 2025
But the real story? This solves radiology’s biggest crisis.
With radiologist shortages hitting critical levels and imaging volumes exploding, we’re at a breaking point. Gleamer’s AI can already handle 25% of RadNet’s X-ray volume. Think about that: one in four X-rays getting AI assistance for triage, prioritization, and draft reporting.
The portfolio is staggering: 26 FDA-approved devices, 22 CE-marked solutions, covering 75+ clinical indications across MR, CT, X-ray, mammography, and ultrasound.
For imaging centers, this means:
• Urgent cases get prioritized automatically
• Radiologists focus on complex cases while AI handles routine reads
• Standardized interpretations reduce variability
• Measurable productivity gains by Q3 2026
Wichita Radiology Group is already seeing results with DeepHealth’s Operations Suite. They’re not waiting for the future, they’re living it.
Here’s my take: This acquisition proves AI in radiology isn’t experimental anymore. It’s operational reality. The question isn’t whether to adopt AI, it’s how fast you can integrate it before your competition does.
Imaging centers that don’t have an AI strategy by 2027 will be like hospitals without PACS in 2010: functionally obsolete.
The $270 million price tag tells us something important: investors believe AI-assisted radiology is the new standard of care. Are you ready for what’s coming?

CEO/Co-Founder @ Oatmeal Health | AI Lung Cancer Screening | Almost Became a Doctor | Engineer | Follow to Share What I’ve Learned Along the Way
I help patients get the care they need earlier, preventing late-stage cancer.
That’s been the throughline across three companies and almost 20 years in healthcare. At ReferralMD, we fixed broken referral networks so patients didn’t fall through the cracks. At Oatmeal Health, it’s lung cancer: building the diagnostic and screening infrastructure so the 85% of cases caught too late get caught early instead.
Today as CEO of Oatmeal Health, I lead a team embedding AI into radiology workflows to turn routine lung CT scans into reimbursable cancer risk assessments. We partner with FQHCs to reach underserved communities, and with health systems and payers to make early detection economically sustainable. Think HeartFlow or Cleerly, but for lungs.
Between companies, I advised at Techstars and Plug and Play, mentoring founders building in digital health. That experience shaped how I think about what separates companies that ship from companies that stall: distribution, reimbursement, and clinical trust, not just technology.
I’m a CancerX alumnus, a 3x healthcare founder, and someone who believes the biggest problems in cancer aren’t scientific. They’re operational.
We’re hiring mission-driven builders at Oatmeal Health. If you want to work on something that matters, reach out.
When I’m not working, I’m traveling, mentoring, and keeping up with one very energetic husky. 🐾
