LOS ANGELES, April 05, 2018 -- RadNet, Inc. (NASDAQ:RDNT), a national leader in providing high-quality, cost-effective, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services today reported it acquired five imaging centers in Fresno California operated by Sierra Imaging Associates (“SIA”), Women’s Imaging Specialists in Healthcare (“WISH”) and Valley Metabolic Imaging (“VMI”). When combined with RadNet’s two existing facilities in the area, Fresno Imaging Center and Hanford Imaging, the transaction transforms RadNet into the leading non-hospital based outpatient imaging operator in the greater Fresno, California area.
