Truevis Technologies and Neusoft Medical Systems have signed an MoU with SMC Clinics to establish 300 advanced radiology centres nationwide. The collaboration combines Neusoft’s cutting-edge imaging equipment with Truevis’s AI-driven diagnostic tools and SMC’s clinical network, aiming to deliver high-quality, affordable radiology services in tier-2/3 cities and underserved regions.
Glimpse:
The partnership will deploy state-of-the-art CT, MRI, digital X-ray, and ultrasound systems integrated with AI for faster, more accurate image interpretation. The first centres are slated to open in 2026, with phased rollout targeting improved access to early cancer detection, neurology, orthopaedics, and cardiac imaging. The initiative supports India’s goal of equitable diagnostic infrastructure, reduces urban-rural gaps, and leverages public-private models to scale quality radiology at lower costs.
Truevis Technologies (India) and Neusoft Medical Systems (China) have entered a strategic Memorandum of Understanding with SMC Clinics to roll out 300 new radiology centres across India over the coming years. Announced in early February 2026, the tie-up brings together advanced hardware, AI software, and a proven clinical operations network to address the acute shortage of reliable diagnostic imaging in non-metro areas.
Neusoft will supply next-generation imaging modalities—including 64/128-slice CT scanners, 1.5T MRI systems, high-frequency digital radiography, and premium ultrasound platforms. Truevis contributes its proprietary AI algorithms for automated detection of abnormalities (stroke, tumours, fractures, lung nodules, etc.), preliminary reporting, and workflow optimisation. SMC Clinics will handle site selection, operations, radiologist staffing, and patient flow under a hub-and-spoke model.
The centres will focus on high-demand specialties: oncology screening, neuroimaging, musculoskeletal imaging, women’s health, and preventive cardiac scans. Many locations will offer walk-in and same-day reporting services, integrated with tele-radiology for 24/7 specialist coverage.
This large-scale deployment aligns with national priorities to strengthen diagnostic capacity outside major cities, where access to CT/MRI often requires long travel. By combining foreign technology with local AI innovation and clinic expertise, the partners aim to deliver world-class imaging at 30–50% lower costs than private urban chains, while maintaining high diagnostic standards.
The first pilot centres are expected to go live in 2026, with rapid scaling planned thereafter. The initiative is expected to create thousands of skilled jobs in radiology tech, nursing, and support roles while improving early disease detection nationwide.
“300 centres mean millions more people get timely scans close to home early detection saves lives and cuts long-term costs.”
