Forest City Diagnostic Imaging, LLC (FOREST CITY) today announced that it has acquired Summit Radiology, LLC (Summit), in order to better serve the greater communities of Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin. FOREST CITY will integrate operations with Summit to provide an efficient and effective patient experience and will continue to operate at both locations effective January 1, 2021.
FOREST CITY has over 22-years of history in providing expert services to its patients, and with the acquisition of Summit will diversify and grow their expertise while expanding into 3D mammography that includes contrast enhanced spectral mammography (CESM).

The newly integrated operations are proud to announce that they have reached an agreement with Dr. Martin Urban and Camelot Radiology for interpretive radiology services to complement FOREST CITY’s existing independent radiological team. Dr. Vikram Sobti will continue to interpret patient images with the highest quality of care for FOREST CITY. Together, this team of board-certified subspecialty trained radiologists will help FOREST CITY offer best-in-class diagnostic radiology services and solutions.
“Both companies have served in this market for a long time and will continue to support Rockford, IL and surrounding communities,” said Vickie Lyford, operations manager at FOREST CITY. “FOREST CITY is pleased to formally team up with Summit by offering expanded capacity and additional patient services and conveniences while also offering deeper expertise in their independent radiologist team.”
