March 21 – The Vision Upright MRI data breach lawyers at Console & Associates, P.C are investigating the data breach that was reported after the company was targeted in a recent cyber security attack. The Vision Upright MRI data breach resulted in the unauthorized access of sensitive patient information of certain individuals being compromised. It is believed to have impacted as many as 23,031 individuals.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights, Vision Upright MRI reported a data breach after they were targeted in a recent cyber security attack.
The information currently available indicates that the incident involved unauthorized access to a network server through what the federal agency classified as a “Hacking / IT Incident.” While specific details about the nature and extent of the breach remain limited, the company has not published a press release or website notice with additional information.
The cyber security incident potentially affected the protected health information of patients who had received diagnostic services from the California-based imaging center. At this point, it remains unclear whether the breach directly targeted Vision Upright MRI’s systems or if it originated through one of the company’s third-party vendors or business partners.
Following the discovery of the breach, Vision Upright MRI conducted an internal investigation to determine the scope of affected information and identify which individuals’ data may have been compromised. Though specific details about the types of exposed information have not been publicly disclosed, healthcare data breaches typically involve sensitive personal and medical information protected under HIPAA regulations.
Vision Upright MRI has begun the process of notifying affected individuals through data breach notification letters. These communications should provide recipients with personalized information about what specific data elements were compromised in their individual cases.
Vision Upright MRI operates as a specialized diagnostic imaging facility based in San Jose, California. The medical center offers advanced magnetic resonance imaging services using open MRI technology that allows for scanning patients in multiple positions rather than only the traditional horizontal position.
The facility utilizes multipositional imaging technology that enables patients to be scanned while standing, sitting, or in various positions of flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral bending. This approach provides physicians with the ability to visualize anatomical structures under natural weight-bearing conditions, which can be beneficial for diagnosing certain musculoskeletal conditions.
Established in 2008, Vision Upright MRI employs approximately 30 healthcare professionals including technologists, administrative staff, and medical directors. The imaging center generates an estimated annual revenue of $5 million through its diagnostic services. The facility primarily serves patients from the greater San Jose area who require specialized MRI scans, particularly those who may experience discomfort in conventional enclosed MRI machines.
