In the field of health, medical imaging plays an essential role, at the heart of the patient journey. The quality of healthcare provision within the territories depends on it. With more than three decades of experience, IMDEV – for Imagerie Développement – has gradually become one of the leaders in the sector, with national coverage, an avant-garde medical vision and a great ambition for development.
The IMDEV network conquering an evolving sector
IMDEV has developed gradually since its launch in Île-de-France, extending its footprint to many regions of mainland France and the DOM-TOMs. Today, the network proudly counts 90 exercise sites and almost 200 radiologists, offering extensive coverage throughout the country. With a fleet of nearly 90 MRIs and scanners, 2 PET-Scans and 6 Gamma cameras, IMDEV guarantees access to quality careparticularly in areas with a high stake in medical coverage. IMDEV’s vision is to bring cutting-edge medicine to all French people, by deploying a high-quality medical project.
In order to support the continuous development and management of the operational challenges of its centers, IMDEV relies on an experienced core team. This team supports doctors in their operational and strategic matters, whether short-term or long-term; this with the aim of accelerating territorial development and giving comfort and support to radiologists.
This team intervenes on all types of subject, in a logic of “service on demand” for doctors: management of strategic projects such as those relating to future modalities, management of IT and network projects, assistance with recruitment, assistance with planning, service legal and financial, etc. This dedicated team provides a good understanding of the many – and often complex – subjects impacting the field of medical imaging.
IMDEV, an ally of choice for radiologists
Many radiologists have joined its ranks in order to benefit from the strength of a national network. Several factors can explain it:
- And full support: IMDEV offers effective support to physicians and their teams, covering both operational and strategic aspects. Thanks to a central team of 30 experienced professionals, IMDEV provides valuable support to carry out projects, thus accelerating their completion.
- And reassuring environment: As a group founded and led by radiologists involved in the daily operation of the sites, IMDEV creates a reassuring environment for doctors who wish to join a network. Proximity to their peers and the possibility of discussing best practices promote harmonious collaboration, a feeling of belonging to a group, and an enriching sharing of experience.
- And pioneer in the industry: IMDEV is positioning itself as a pioneer in several areas that will have a long-term positive impact on the medical imaging industry. Whether in the integration of artificial intelligence to improve diagnoses and optimize processes, the implementation of tele-radiology to be able to fight effectively against medical deserts, or the modernization of IT infrastructure to meet cyber security requirements specific to the medical sector.
Artificial intelligence at the service of medical imaging
Artificial intelligence (AI) represents a major advance in the field of medical imaging, and IMDEV fully recognizes its potential as an additional tool to support radiologists in their diagnostic interpretation. As a user of promising solutions, IMDEV has established partnerships with developers in order to develop and optimize these technologies.
At the heart of these notable collaborations, IMDEV notably uses Gleamer to detect fractures that are difficult to observe during trauma, and uses Therapixel software to screen for subtle lesions during mammograms. At the same time, IMDEV supports start-ups in the development of algorithms for the detection of endometriosis and prostate cancers on MRIs. Thanks to these innovative solutions, IMDEV puts the power of AI at the service of healthcare professionalsas an aid, an additional tool increasing the efficiency and accuracy of diagnostics.
Future challenges and future projects for IMDEV
3 major challenges for the future of medical imaging and the IMDEV group, which remains resolutely committed to shaping the future of this sector.
We find in particular a human and generational issue important, with the need to ensure the availability of radiologists throughout the territory and to attract younger generations to stimulating medical and territorial projects.
The economic challenge requires continuous investment to modernize medicine and maintain high quality standards. IMDEV is firmly determined to finance this modernization and to remain at the forefront of medical imaging technology.
Finally, the technological challenge is key in this constantly innovating field. IMDEV takes a proactive approach by actively selecting and integrating emerging technologies.
