Our Story

Established in 1988, Pacesetter Medical Imaging (PMI) was created in Minneapolis, Minnesota as a "full-service" X-ray company. Like many new ventures, founders Max Miller and David Hanks started PMI in a basement with a great idea, a limited budget, and not a single customer. Today, with more than 70 years combined experience in the X-ray industry, Max and David have built a solid organization that serves doctor and patient needs in more than 1,200 hospitals, imaging centers, medical, chiropractic and veterinary clinics throughout the Upper Midwest.

PMI is a multi-line medical imaging distributor of radiographic, fluoroscopic, special procedures and mammography equipment. With our numerous manufacturing partners and wide-ranging product selection, we can help you choose the equipment that offers the right balance of technology and investment.

Digital Imaging is our specialty. At the beginning of the digital revolution in radiography, while some distributors sat on the sidelines, we invested significant resources to hire and train qualified sales and service personnel experienced in computed radiology (CR), digital radiology (DR) and PACS. Now, our extensive knowledge and experience helps you navigate all the information and choices to select the right equipment that will enhance your ability to provide what we all work for—optimal patient care.
