Magellan Health Services said it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire National Imaging Associates, a privately held radiology benefits-management services provider in Hackensack, NJ.
Under the terms of the agreement, NIA will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Magellan. The net purchase price is estimated at $122 million, after giving effect to cash to be acquired in the transaction, Magellan said. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including certain regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2006, according to the Avon, CT-based firm.

![Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD).
