Inland Imaging, Missoula Radiology join to form one of the largest practices in Western US

Inland Imaging and Missoula Radiology announced that they have combined their groups to serve under a single practice.

The company, now called Missoula Radiology and Inland Imaging, will hire 72 radiologists, becoming one of the largest radiology practices in the Western United States.

“The joining of our two groups allows us to better connect clinically between Eastern Washington and Western Montana,” said Jayson Brower, MD, president of Inland Imaging, in a statement.

Inland Imaging has been operating in Spokane, Washington, since 1930, providing interpretation services to six outpatient diagnostic imaging centers. They have 57 board-certified radiologists serving outpatient imaging centers, hospitals and clinics in Spokane and Seattle.

Missoula Radiology began operating in 1972.

CEO of Inland Imaging, Steve Duvoisin said in a statement, “It allows us to see the region’s health care resources in a more global and holistic way.”
