Radiology benefit management firm HealthHelp said it has inked a deal to coordinate radiology services for the High-Risk Plaque (HRP) Initiative.

The Houston-based firm said it would coordinate national and market-specific clinical investigators, create safety processes, and review patient images for incidental findings as part of HRP's BioImage Study. The study aims to recruit approximately 7,300 asymptomatic patients with risk factors for HRP, stroke, and heart disease to undergo blood tests and advanced imaging studies including ultrasound, CT, and MRI.
