Kern Radiology

Kern Radiology is a California outpatient diagnostic imaging and radiology practice serving Bakersfield and the broader Kern County region. The group was founded in 1968 and built its business around multimodality imaging services, including MRI, CT, PET/CT, ultrasound, mammography, X-ray, bone density, nuclear medicine, and interventional radiology procedures. In 2019, RadNet announced an agreement to acquire Kern Radiology's imaging operations, integrating the practice into RadNet's larger outpatient imaging network while continuing to operate under the Kern Radiology brand. The company primarily serves patients, referring physicians, and local hospitals through imaging centers and professional radiology interpretation services rather than through a therapeutic drug pipeline.
