Minnesota-based Center for Diagnostic Imaging (CDI) announced a new partnership with Bellevue, Washington-based Belladonna Breast Imaging Center (BBIC), further expanding CDI’s footprint in the Greater Seattle area which currently consists of 12 independent outpatient-based imaging centers.

“Belladonna Breast Imaging Center is a center that shares our commitment to quality, access, service and value,” said Rick Long, CDI president and CEO. “We’re excited to keep the same great center staff and strong local clinical teams, including their sub-specialized radiologist that is well-known and respected in the community.”

The diagnostic imager's network operates in more than 40 states and includes more than 2,000 associates.

“I wanted to create a place where patients can come to receive breast imaging services with the latest technology and the highest possible quality of care,” said Marita Acheson, MD, director and founder of BBIC. “Joining CDI allows us to expand that relationship with a great group of radiologists who are as passionate about breast health care as I am.”
