A Strategic Acquisition to Expand Support
In early 2025, DirectMed Imaging acquired Richardson Healthcare, making a focused investment to strengthen its Canon/Toshiba capabilities, expand its X-ray tube offerings, and enhance training programs for imaging engineers. Now, with the rebrand and integration complete, Richardson’s renowned expertise in CT parts, tube repair, and engineer training is fully part of the DirectMed Imaging family.
This acquisition reinforces DirectMed Imaging’s commitment to providing the most reliable, responsive, and comprehensive support for the global diagnostic imaging community.
With this integration, DirectMed Imaging now offers:
The world’s largest Canon/Toshiba aftermarket parts inventory
Exclusive global distribution of ALTA750D and ALTA750G CT X-ray tubes
Repaired Siemens Straton Z CT tube distribution
Expanded training programs for Canon/Toshiba CT platforms
Additionally, the Toshiba representative you’ve worked with in the past will continue to be attached to your relationship with DirectMed Imaging moving forward. Effectively immediately, you’ll have a team supporting your ongoing parts, systems, and training needs. We’re here to help you minimize downtime and maximize confidence.
Whether you’re sourcing hard-to-find CT parts or building skills on your biomedical engineering team, DirectMed Imaging is here to support your operations with more value, more options, and less downtime.
Comprehensive made simple. That’s the DirectMed Imaging promise.
