Information & Technologies
Arthrogram
An arthrogram visualizes the inside of a joint, such as the shoulder, knee, hip, or wrist. A contrast dye is injected into the joint to make the joint structures, including ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and the joint capsule, more visible on X-ray or MRI images.
Fluoroscopy
Fluoroscopy uses injected contrast dye and an X-Ray machine to take a continuous series of X-rays instead of individual snapshots. It is most commonly used to evaluate parts of your body that are moving in order to create a short video of your body system in motion. It is particularly useful for observing the digestive, urinary, respiratory, and reproductive systems and their functioning.
MRI
Our MRI machines use a powerful magnetic field, radio waves, and a computer to generate detailed images of organs, tissues, bones, and other structures inside the body. With a larger bore or tunnel-like opening compared to traditional MRI machines, our wide-bore MRI provides high quality images without compromising patient comfort.

Patient Reviews
Our patients say it best. American Health Imaging provides welcoming, comforting outpatient facilities with friendly and helpful staff.
The staff and technicians (Leslie and Brandon) are excellent. I received the best care and service. They were so patient and kind. I loved my reggae music while the testing was being completed. The personal touch and attention to patient care was exceptional. The cleanliness of the facility was great as well.

I had a good experience here when taking an MRI. The entire staff from the front desk to the MRI were extremely kind to me. The doctor who put the dye in my wrist was nice, as well as the young lady who prepped me so that he could do that in preparation for the MRI.

Very sweet staff who definitely make you feel cared for and welcome! I love that! Not many places are very personable anymore, but this place had excellent staff who did a great job at what they do! Even learned a little bit of what was what on ultrasound. Kelsey was very sweet and compassionate! Highly recommend having any imaging done here.
Kayley F.
The facility contacted me within 6 hours after my doctor appointment. I was able to complete my medical information online with no problems. I was seen within 15 minutes after I arrived for my appointment and was done in 20 minutes. My doctors will be able to view my imaging online, so I didn’t need to wait on results. It couldn’t have been any easier and I highly recommend using this facility.

Courteous and professional staff. They got my MRI results rushed over same-day to accommodate me so I can get a shot. I will definitely refer anyone needing an MRI to this facility.
Lorraine C.
The experience of making the appointment was excellent. The registration was smooth using the links and uploading forms. The facility was spotless, and the on-time performance was good. My particular imaging needs were meticulous because of the area viewed. The technologist was patient and empathetic and guided me along, making a difficult test much easier. The headphones were great, and I got an hour of classic rock over the sounds of the machine, (definitely not the sounds silence). Thank you, AHI, your communication has been great.
