Elan Adler, MBA, B.S. RT(R)(MR)

Elan is a radiology insider on a mission to make imaging faster, more transparent and more affordable. The mission is personal: Elan watched his father’s cancer spread during a six-week wait for an MRI, then invested his own savings to co-found the Miami-based company in 2022.

After earning a radiologic sciences degree from The Ohio State University, Elan worked as an MRI technologist, managed outpatient radiology operations for Cleveland Clinic and led enterprise MR partnerships for Siemens Healthineers, where he helped bring remote-scanning technology to market during COVID-19.

At OneImaging, he has built a platform that gives patients upfront pricing before they schedule, a guided path to a quality imaging center and a simpler experience at their most anxious moments. Under his leadership, the company has grown fiftyfold in less than three years and now reaches more than 12 million people, including families covered by some of the nation’s largest employers. Its network spans more than 4,800 providers, and day-of cancellations run under 1%.

In the past year, Elan led OneImaging through a $38 million Series A and has put the company on a stated path to profitability, a rare discipline among venture-backed startups. An outspoken patient advocate, he is already exploring how unified imaging data can power preventive care.
