San Diego’s NextImage Medical, Inc., which has developed a Web-based system for scheduling and managing diagnostic imaging services, says it has raised $5 million in Series A funding in a round led by Chrysalis Ventures of Louisville, KY. Liz Griggs founded NextImage Medical last year as a way to provide high-quality, low-cost radiology services, either through insurers, self-insured employers, or direct-to-consumer. A statement from NextImage Medical says Griggs previously was the founder of New Jersey-based One Call Medical, a radiology preferred provider organization (PPO) that was sold in 2003 for $115 million.
