A merger of three Texas radiology providers may create the largest imaging practice in the country, leaders claim. Officials with 80-year-old, Fort Worth-based Radiology Associates of North Texas unveiled the merger on Thursday. They said both Tyler Radiology and East Texas Radiology Consultants, in Longview, are joining the firm, translating to 28 new physicians coming aboard. This will expand RADNTX, as it’s called for short, up to more than 200 imaging physicians, making it one of the Lone Star State’s largest. Radiology Business Journal last year labeled Lynwood, Washington-based Radia as the largest practice in the U.S., employing 205 full-time equivalent rads at the time. That’s just ahead of RADNTX at 174 in the No. 2 spot prior to the July 2 merger announcement. A spokeswoman said Thursday that the deal would put Radiology Associates over 200 rads, and officials believe, make them the “now the largest radiology private practice in the nation,” based on number of physicians.
