Jefferson Radiology and Advanced Radiology Consultants launched a new collaborative entity: Charter Radiology Network.
Through Charter Radiology Network, the two practices will develop clinical informatics and intraoperability, with initial efforts focusing on increasing quality and decreasing costs. This may include the integration of back office management services, such as traditional management services organization tasks, billing operations, and IT infrastructure consolidation and augmentation.
Charter Radiology Network will also explore technologies and processes to improve quality and access through standardized, evidence-based practices, enhanced integration, and information sharing, the firms said.
The Jefferson Radiology and Advanced Radiology Consultants clinical practices will continue to remain independent entities.
![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). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/hanneman.r6SMLzkezo.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
