I’ve been radio silent on the blog for a bit – and now I can finally share why.
As of May 4, 2023, Digirad has officially been acquired by TTG Imaging Solutions!
This is a major milestone for our company and for me personally. I’ve had the unique opportunity to be involved behind the scenes since November 2022, supporting the process as part of the due diligence team. I’ll be doing a full post soon on the diligence work that goes into M&A from an IT lens – but today, I just want to take a moment to share the news and reflect on what this means for Digirad and the road ahead.
In Short: Who Is TTG?
TTG Imaging Solutions is a national provider of end-to-end medical imaging solutions, spanning equipment sales, service, staffing, and radiopharmaceuticals. With over 500 employees and service coverage across 46 states, TTG brings together clinical expertise, field operations, and technical infrastructure under one umbrella.
By acquiring Digirad, they’ve expanded their footprint – especially on the West Coast – and added depth in the solid-state nuclear medicine camera space, where Digirad has led for over two decades. The acquisition also boosts TTG’s field service headcount to over 80 engineers nationwide.
This move positions TTG as a premier provider in the cardiology imaging market, while opening up expansion into new hospital and health system partnerships.
As TTG CEO Matt Mastarone put it:
“The acquisition of Digirad is transformational… cementing TTG as the premier full-service provider to the cardiology market.”

What This Means for My Team – and What’s Next
The great news? There’s very little in place in terms of internal IT at TTG – just two staff members, mostly managing outsourced vendors. From what I’ve seen so far, there’s some serious tech debt and a ton of opportunity to build something meaningful.
It looks like we’re gearing up again.
I’m incredibly proud of the work we’ve done at Digirad over the past few years – rebuilding infrastructure, securing systems, and achieving HITRUST certification – and now we’ve got the chance to take that momentum and scale it further inside a larger, national platform.
The M&A process is never simple, and the real work always starts after the ink dries. But I’m excited. We’ve got the right people, the right experience, and a clear path forward.
Let’s build.
