Brandon, FL-based imaging services chain National Diagnostics has signed a definitive agreement to merge with integrated delivery system firm American Enterprise Solutions of Tampa, FL. Under the terms of the agreement, NDI shareholders will maintain a 12.3% interest in the new company, with AES shareholders holding an 87.7% interest.

AES was founded in September 1997 with the goal of acquiring companies to create community healthcare delivery systems.
