Integrated Radiology Development

By rapidly assessing radiology needs and deploying full-value-stream solutions, functional imaging services are established in underserved areas, because comprehensive integration of equipment, training, infrastructure, and maintenance ensures sustainable and immediate clinical impact. This strategy combines rapid geographic assessment with end-to-end service development to overcome systemic gaps in diagnostic imaging access. Unlike piecemeal interventions that address only equipment or training, this approach ensures all components necessary for operational radiology services are delivered together, enabling faster, more resilient health system integration.

activities of orgs running this strategy

A sample of programmatic activities from the orgs above. These are what the strategy looks like on the ground.

  • Direct Patient Diagnostic Assistance Humanitarian Radiology Development Corps
    direct service
    Provides direct diagnostic assistance, such as helping a pediatric surgeon diagnose a complex liver tumor, in hospitals in underserved communities.
  • Donation and Distribution of Medical Imaging Equipment Humanitarian Radiology Development Corps
    direct service
    Donates and distributes new and refurbished medical imaging equipment, including ultrasound machines, X-ray machines, and PACS systems, to underserved communities and hospitals globally. This includes nearly $1.7 million in equipment, such as 26 refurbished Full Size Ultrasound Sequoia machines, 7 refurbished Full Size Ultrasound S3000 machines, 8 new Handheld Vistascan devices, and various other imaging and PACS equipment.
  • Medical Equipment Repair and Maintenance Humanitarian Radiology Development Corps
    direct service
    Repairs and maintains donated medical imaging equipment, such as Sequoia ultrasound machines and PET/CT scanners, to ensure their continued functionality in hospitals.
  • Radiology Infrastructure Development and Assessment Humanitarian Radiology Development Corps
    capacity building
    Conducts assessments of hospital radiology departments, provides design guidance for new radiology facilities, and implements radiology PACS systems to improve imaging services in underserved areas.
  • Radiology Training and Education Humanitarian Radiology Development Corps
    capacity building
    Provides training and education in radiology, including mammography quality assurance and positioning, ultrasound techniques, and C-arm fluoroscopy, to technologists, students, and physicians in various countries.
  • Support for Radiology Professional Organizations Humanitarian Radiology Development Corps
    capacity building
    Supports the establishment and meetings of professional societies for radiology technologists, such as ATIMH in Haiti, to foster professional development and collaboration.
