Image Management Consultants (IMC) was incorporated in April 1988.  In May 1995, IMC became a division of Healthcare Imaging Specialists, Inc. to allow for future outgrowth of the parent corporation as the technology that IMC is involved in evolves. In the 16 years  since IMC's creation, we have been involved only in projects directly related to PACS, teleradiology, and related technologies.
