Studies with their signed reads are what AI data buyers ask imaging centres for.
Outpatient imaging centres, teleradiology groups, cardiology, dermatology, eye and neurology practices that keep diagnostic studies with their reports: owners and operators deciding whether the archive can be licensed.
Mercor's listing for imaging and diagnostics centres puts a deal at $80,000 to $620,000 ("Depends on modality mix and study volume").
AIData.Broker values what you hold against public prices. Records that are not health information about people or information about children we sell for you, described without your name to every buyer whose published rules they meet, with our fee due only if a sale closes. Health information about people or information about children we do not take to market, and today no buyer we introduce companies to has said in writing that it takes them, so the valuation tells you where they go.

Can an imaging center sell its scans and radiology reports to AI companies?
Potentially, once every study is de-identified, including text burned into the images. Mercor's listing for imaging and diagnostics centres asks for DICOM studies paired with their signed reports in an archive searchable by diagnosis, and puts a deal at $80,000 to $620,000. Normal studies count as well as abnormal ones, and raw ECG or EEG waveforms are wanted, not only images.

What raises the value
- Every study paired with its signed report.
- An archive you can search by diagnosis or finding.
- Normal studies kept as well as abnormal ones.
- Several modalities, and years of volume in each.
- History the listing measures in its own words: "An archive searchable by diagnosis".
What lowers the value
- What the listing rules out: "Images without reports", "Studies under an exclusive contract with another buyer".
- Text burned into images that has not been removed: it identifies the patient.
A line that quotes a buyer names it. The others are our checklist, drawn from the factors buyers state in general: no buyer publishes how much each one moves a price. How often each factor matters across 156 kinds of data.
The rights to settle first
These stop a sale more often than price does. Each can be settled before any buyer sees a record.
- In a business that provides or pays for care, nearly every record about a patient is protected health information under HIPAA, emails, schedules and invoices included. Licensing it is a sale that needs every patient's signed authorisation, unless a certified expert has signed off its de-identification, and whoever receives it to prepare it becomes the provider's business associate by law.
- A study is de-identified only once its DICOM header fields and any text burned into the pixels are removed, as well as the report's identifiers.
- Whoever de-identifies inside your systems for a buyer works as your business associate and signs an agreement saying so before seeing a study.
- Contracts with referring physicians or hospitals may say who may use the studies: read them before counting an archive in.

What holders like you ask
- What is an imaging centre's data worth to an AI buyer?
- Mercor's listing for imaging and diagnostics centres puts a deal at $80,000 to $620,000 ("Depends on modality mix and study volume"). It asks for Any size (United States preferred). What moves an offer within the range is what the listing names: how complete the records are, how far back they go and whether you can license them.
- What exactly does the buyer ask for?
- Mercor's listing asks for "DICOM studies paired with signed reports", "An archive searchable by diagnosis or finding", "Raw waveform files for ECG, EEG or EMG, not only images", "Studies that can be fully de-identified, including text burned into images". It would also like "The linked clinical record for each patient", "Normal studies as well as abnormal ones", "Ultrasound, chest X-ray, MRI and CT", "Dermatology photos and retinal scans with diagnoses", "Video, 3D scans and microscopy slides". It rules out "Images without reports", "Studies under an exclusive contract with another buyer".
- What will a buyer ask us first?
- Mercor's listing names its first questions: "Which modalities do you run, and how many studies a year?", "Are reports linked to each study and patient?", "Can you export raw ECG or EEG waveforms?", "Is any of your data already licensed?". Have the answers before you start.
- How do we sell through you?
- Start with the valuation. We don't take patient and health records to market. No buyer we introduce companies to has yet said in writing that it takes health information about people or information about children, so today the valuation tells you where such records go instead: Health-data specialists license records like these with the provider itself: they sign a business associate agreement, de-identify the records inside the provider's own systems and have an expert certify the result.
