Our technology spans the patient journey to streamline processes and connect physicians, no matter where they are.
Ambra Health is now a part of Intelerad’s family of companies, capping off a year of acquisitions designed to enhance medical image management offerings and further the goal of making a difference in healthcare.
With an award-winning PACS system, robust cloud vendor-neutral archive (VNA), image exchange functionality, and research and pathology capabilities, the consensus is that Ambra’s contributions are the perfect complement to Intelerad’s portfolio.
“It’s true of all our acquisitions but this one really feels like the ultimate chocolate and peanut butter combo, two great things that are even better together,” says Mike Lipps, CEO of Intelerad. 
“Partnering with Ambra is a significant milestone on our path to provide the most scalable and robust medical image management platform in the industry,” Lipps added. “And while many medical imaging vendors offer pieces of what providers need, Intelerad now offers the entire solution.”
Morris Panner, who was CEO of Ambra for almost a decade and will now serve as President of Intelerad, says the excitement is shared by customers and the industry, if the number of enthusiastic messages he received about the news is any indication.
“This represents something we have been working towards for years—we are standing on the shoulders of giants,” Panner said.
“Ambra has been focused on ensuring large hospital systems, medical groups, imaging centers, clinical research organizations, and health information exchanges can rely on us to significantly improve processes and workflows in the circle of care,” Panner said. “This commitment is strengthened by joining Intelerad, and we look forward to further enhancing our products and services together.”
Intelerad now manages more than 50 billion images, reads over 130 million exams per year, and serves nearly 2,000 customers, including all of the top 10 U.S. Best Hospitals from the U.S. News & World Report annual list.
Ambra joins Insignia Medical Systems, Heart Imaging Technologies (HeartIT), LUMEDX, and Digisonics—all acquired over the past 11 months. Radius was acquired in August 2020.

Image sharing in radiology still falls short because most systems are designed to move files, not deliver images within clinical workflows at the moment they’re needed. This blog explores why image sharing feels broken, what’s changing in radiology image access, and how time-to-image is becoming a more meaningful way to evaluate performance.
Radiology workflows often break down due to disconnected systems, manual processes, and inconsistent data across case selection, prior access, reporting, and communication. These challenges can interrupt reading flow, delay diagnosis, and create inefficiencies across the entire imaging process.
Radiology reporting systems are being retired as workflows become more complex and distributed. Legacy platforms can’t keep pace, creating friction instead of efficiency. Modern cloud-based solutions streamline workflows, reduce turnaround times, and better support today’s radiologists.
