Diagnostic imaging centers change hands

Three outpatient magnetic resonance imaging centers in Indianapolis have been sold by their Atlanta-based owner, American Health Imaging Inc., to the Minneapolis-based Center for Diagnostic Imaging. The price was not disclosed.

The centers were called Indianapolis Health Imaging.

American Health Imaging is exiting Indianapolis as well as Ohio as it grapples with a challenging business environment, said owner Scott Arant.

“We’re based in the South,” Arant said. “So we want to do more in the South.”

Arant would not elaborate on reasons for the pull-back. The sale leaves American Health Imaging with 16 locations.

Center for Diagnostic Imaging now and operates 53 locations, including six in the Indianapolis area. An existing Center for Diagnostic Imaging location at 7330 E. 82nd St. will be closed due to its close proximity to other locations.

Center for Diagnostic Imaging is owned by Onex Corp. of Toronto, Canada.
