RALEIGH, N.C. — A new partnership may reduce costs for thousands of Triangle imaging patients.

UNC REX and Wake Radiology announced Monday a new partnership that will combine their outpatient imaging services. The effort will make it possible for more patients to receive imaging services like 3-D mammograms, MRIs, CT scans, X-rays and ultrasounds in outpatient settings instead of in hospitals.

According to a statement, the shift will reduce patients’ costs approximately $7 million a year by eliminating hospital-based fees.

"We are proud to partner with UNC REX to improve access to advanced diagnostic imaging for all patients in our area," said Dr. Lyndon K. Jordan III, President of Wake Radiology. “Our physicians and staff are excited be a part of this partnership as we strive to enhance service through specialized radiology and value-based, compassionate care.
