Radiology Partners launches new technology services division

Radiology Partners is diversifying by launching a new technology services division, leaders said Tuesday. 

The country’s largest imaging group—with 4,000 radiologists working across all 50 states—is rolling out an offshoot called Mosaic Clinical Technologies. RP said it will kick off with a proprietary operating system called MosaicOS, which is cloud-based, supported by artificial intelligence, and seeks to simplify physician workflows. 

“Demand is growing. Work lists are getting longer,” Nina Kottler, MD, associate chief medical officer for clinical AI, said in a July 15 announcement from the El Segundo, California, organization. “While the pace of AI innovation is exciting, fragmented technologies create friction, forcing radiologists to toggle between systems and duplicate tasks, ultimately slowing care.”

Designed with input from physicians, Rad Partners said the platform combines diagnostic technologies, artificial intelligence and “smart” workflows into one solution it hopes to scale across the enterprise. The practice now spans 3,400 sites including 131 outpatient imaging centers, with its radiologists handling 56 million-plus cases per year. 

Rad Partners said it invested in this new technology and division in response to rising imaging volumes, a growing radiologist shortage and costs escalating at “unprecedented rates.” Hospitals and imaging centers “across the country are under pressure to do more with less, often without the tools or service levels needed to keep pace,” RP said. Leaders hope MosaicOS can help streamline operations while improving clinical capacity “at scale”

Operating system features include Mosaic Reporting, which combines ambient voice AI and large language model technology to automatically structure reports and reduce dictation times. This feature is already live at multiple Rad Partners-affiliated groups, with a broader rollout beginning later this year. Meanwhile, Mosaic Drafting utilizes an AI foundation model to pre-compile X-ray reports rads can then review, edit and sign. This lets its physicians dedicate more time to complex cases. Currently, the technology is now being implemented under institutional review board protocols while RP simultaneously pursues U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval “to support broader use and commercial availability.” 

Rad Partners will eventually add additional features such as a centralized patient information hub aimed at further streamlining physician workflows. In 2026, RP plans to implement the technology across its network of affiliated practices and with other “key strategic clients.” It eventually hopes to further expand access to the platform commercially, offering it to hospitals, health systems and imaging centers. 

“This step reflects RP’s commitment to raising the standard of imaging care across the specialty, not just within its affiliated practices,” the company, which is backed by private equity firm Whistler Capital Partners and venture capital group New Enterprise Associates, said in the announcement. 

Rad Partners also previously announced the launch of an artificial intelligence platform in concert with Amazon Web Services in 2023. It joins other imaging providers such as RadNet Inc., which have sought to diversify into AI and other technologies in recent years, hoping to add new revenue streams, offer clinicians new tools to tackle growing workloads, and bolster physician efficiency.
