    • Time since surgery is important history. Patients can have reactive uptake on all three phases up to 1-2 years since surgery.

    • Cemented prostheses usually revert to baseline uptake after one year. Non-cemented prostheses can take up to two years.

    • Laterality and site of pain are also essential history that increase the diagnostic yield.

Radiology Partners Appoints Former Gov. Larry Hogan to Board of Directors

Former Maryland governor brings public health, healthcare innovation and executive leadership expertise to esteemed Board

(NASHVILLETenn.) – May 1, 2026  

(RP), the leading technology-enabled radiology practice in the U.S. through its affiliated practices and Mosaic Clinical Technologies™ (Mosaic), a wholly-owned subsidiary of RP, announced today that former Gov. Larry Hogan has joined its Board of Directors. A nationally recognized leader and cancer survivor, Gov. Hogan brings his deep expertise in public health, visionary leadership and drive for clinical innovation to support RP’s physician-led mission to transform radiology and advance patient-centered care.

“Gov. Hogan brings a unique combination of executive leadership, healthcare policy perspective and personal experience that aligns deeply with our mission,” said Rich Whitney, RP board chair and CEO. “He understands the importance of timely diagnosis, clinical innovation and coordinated care, and he brings insights that will be incredibly valuable as RP continues working to drive clinical, technology and AI innovation to improve patient outcomes.”

Hogan served as the 62nd governor of Maryland from 2015 to 2023 and as chairman of the National Governors Association from 2019 to 2020. Shortly after taking office, he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and continued to lead the state while undergoing treatment ­­– an experience that shaped his advocacy for early detection, research and innovation in cancer care.

During his tenure, Hogan advanced healthcare and life sciences innovation, including the launch of Maryland’s $216 million Cancer Moonshot initiative to expand cancer detection, treatment, research capacity and workforce development. His administration also prioritized healthcare affordability and access and guided the state through the pandemic, coordinating cross-sector efforts to expand testing, vaccination and the effective delivery of care.

“I’m honored to join the board of Radiology Partners in support of its mission to transform radiology,” said Hogan. “I know firsthand the importance of timely, accurate diagnosis for patients and families alike. As governor, and as chair of the National Governors Association during COVID-19, I saw the essential role physicians and clinical innovation play in strengthening care delivery and improving outcomes. I look forward to working closely with the Radiology Partners team and taking part in the exciting transformative innovation that is underway.”

Gov. Hogan’s perspective, informed by an accomplished public service career and personal healthcare experiences, will support the long-term focus held by RP and Mosaic on physician-led excellence, clinical and technology innovation and high-quality radiology services at scale.

collage of different teammates together

Teammate Appreciation Day 2026: Building the Future of Radiology – Together

At Radiology Partners (RP), our people are the driving force behind everything we do. Every day, our teammates bring purpose, collaboration and a deep commitment to doing what’s right for patients – and that shared spirit continues to propel our mission to transform radiology.

As we recognize National Employee Appreciation Day (or Teammate Appreciation Day, as we call it at RP), this moment offers more than an opportunity to say thank you. It’s also a chance to reflect on the meaningful momentum we’re building together in service of patient care and clinical excellence.

That momentum is evident in the exciting growth across RP over the past year. With the launch of Mosaic Clinical Technologies™ and MosaicOS™, RP is expanding its AI capabilities and clinical services and delivering advanced tools and insights that help care teams work more efficiently and effectively. At the same time, the acquisition of Cognita Imaging Inc. by Mosaic Clinical Technologies™ strengthens our ability to innovate, scale and accelerate solutions that support radiologists, practices and, most importantly, patients.

This collective commitment is also reflected in another achievement worth celebrating: Radiology Partners has earned Great Place to Work® Certification for the sixth consecutive year. More than 80% of RP teammates report that the practice fosters a flexible, welcoming environment where people are trusted with meaningful responsibility and empowered to do their best work.

While individual contributions matter, it’s the collective ingenuity and teamwork across RP that make progress like this possible. From advancements in AI and technology to the daily expertise and compassion of radiologists, technologists and support teams nationwide, everything we do is rooted in service to patients and the communities who rely on us.

Together, RP is building the future of radiology – guided by purpose, powered by people and focused on delivering high-quality, patient-centered care every day.

Thank you to every member of the RP team for all that you do. It is truly an honor to work alongside such a talented, passionate and purpose-driven team!
