(Nashville, TN, September 22, 2005) -- While many people come and go in the pre-owned market, Debbie van der Touw has been steadfast since 1991 in meeting her customers needs with a fresh and adaptive approach to business. As a result, Radiology OneSource is growing again. In fact, the growth has pushed them right out of Nolensville and into a new 18,500 square foot office/showroom/logistics center just down the road in Franklin.

"In the beginning, I worked alone." says Debbie van der Touw, founder and CEO of Radiology OneSource and its parent company D.Cole Enterprises, Inc. "It has since 1997 transformed into an operation of 20+ employees all over the world -- and, it's still growing."

She isn't exaggerating. The Radiology OneSource group of companies has become one of the largest independent resellers of diagnostic imaging equipment in the market. Anchoring their overseas efforts near Brussels, Belgium is Radiology OneSource Europe. Erik van Blokland joined the company as General Manager in Belgium mid July and is challenged with bringing the company to the next level.

Radiology OneSource Australia in Sydney opened in February 2005. Now van der Touw is putting together management teams for three more locations in 2006--one in the area of the former Soviet Republic and two in Latin America. More will follow.

According to Parts Manager, Carrie McQueen, the added space in the US office was definitely justified. "We exclusively distribute in North America IAE replacement x-ray tubes (www.iae.it), offer rebuilt AMX portables, OEC C-Arms and fully refurbished ultrasound transducers just to name a few. It all has to fit somewhere. Our parts department has grown so much in the past 6 months that I have added more staff to keep up with the demand. My department easily fills half of the warehouse already."

Radiology OneSource means what the name implies by offering a complete line of diagnostic imaging equipment including conventional and PET CT, Ultrasound, C-Arms, conventional X-Ray modalities, MRI, nuclear medicine, mammography, bone densitometry and accessory systems. The company is also the exclusive North America distributor of the Digivex (www.medex.be), a digital X-ray system for veterinary use.

"The majority of pre-owned equipment we purchase direct from hospitals and medical facilities that are installing new equipment," says Jonathan Boatwright, Product Manager for Women's Health, which includes Mammography and Bone Densitometry. "In most cases, the systems are in great working condition -- with a few signs of normal use. We inspect every one prior to purchase. They undergo a complete battery of tests before we make them available for resale." Trevor Savage, C-Arm and Portable X-ray manager adds "Most systems we purchase will be refurbished to nearly new specifications. The customer has options ensure the system precisely meets their needs via available upgrades and feature add-ons. This high level of service is what our customers have come to expect from us."
