About Us
For more than 28 years, MDS has delivered accurate diagnostic imaging with exceptional service and genuine care — for every patient and provider we serve.
A trusted leader in digital imaging since 1998
For more than 28 years, Medical Diagnostic Services (MDS) has remained committed to one simple mission: delivering accurate diagnostic imaging with exceptional service and genuine care for every patient and healthcare provider we serve.
Founded in 1998, MDS has grown into a trusted leader in portable digital imaging throughout Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, and surrounding regions.
We proudly serve long-term & short-term rehabilitation facilities, assisted/independent living facilities, group homes, home health agencies, private physician practices, correctional facilities, VA and hospice patients.
Independently owned and operated
While many companies in our industry have changed ownership multiple times through acquisitions and corporate mergers, MDS remains independently owned and operated by the same leadership team that built the company from the ground up. That stability matters.
Our clients know that when they partner with MDS, they are working with a company that has never lost sight of its original values. We make decisions based on patient care, service excellence, and long-term relationships — not corporate mandates or shareholder demands.
Because diagnostic imaging is often needed during critical moments, we strategically position highly trained technologists throughout the communities we serve — enabling rapid response times and dependable STAT service, 24/7/365.
"What if this was one of our loved ones?"
We have compassion for the elderly, and that is the basis of how this company was started. When the Army developed Digital X-Ray and it was released to the public, a radiologist and two partners asked themselves: "What if this was one of our loved ones? What would we want?"
Because we are able to provide fast STAT results with Digital X-Ray — exactly what we would want for our own loved ones — our company was formed. We were one of the first companies to enter this industry with 100% Digital X-Ray throughout the company.

Our people make the difference
Many of our employees, technologists, and support staff have been with us for years — sharing the same commitment to professionalism, compassion, and responsiveness that has defined MDS since day one.
We also continue to innovate. Through our web-based ordering and tracking platform, healthcare providers can schedule exams and monitor order status in real time — full visibility and transparency, just like the tracking experience you expect from today's leading service platforms.
Nearly three decades after our founding, our mission remains unchanged: to provide the highest quality portable diagnostic imaging services while treating every patient, customer, and partner with the care, respect, and urgency they deserve. At MDS, we're not just providing imaging services — we're building lasting relationships and delivering peace of mind when it matters most.
