Advanced Imaging Technology at Our Asheville Center
1.5T Wide Bore MRI
A 1.5T Wide Bore MRI is a type of medical imaging machine that uses a strong magnetic field (1.5 Tesla) to take detailed pictures of the inside of your body. The “wide bore” part means the opening of the machine is larger at 27 ½” wide, making it more comfortable for people who feel anxious or are larger in size. Many of our 1.5T Wide Bore MRIs feature faster scanning technology to reduce most exams to 15 minutes.
64-Slice CT
A 64-slice CT scanner is a medical imaging machine that takes very detailed X-ray pictures of your body by capturing 64 slices of images at once. This allows for faster scans and even more detailed images, which is useful for diagnosing complex conditions. Our 64-slice CT features innovative technology that automates dose according to your size, weight, and anatomy, providing high-quality images with minimal radiation.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound, also known as sonography, has a small handheld device called a transducer used to emit high-frequency sound waves into the body making it particularly useful for examining developing fetuses during pregnancy and for imaging soft tissues and organs.
X-Ray
X-ray, also known as radiography, is a medical imaging technique that uses electromagnetic radiation to create images of the inside of the body. X-ray imaging is one of the most commonly used diagnostic procedures in medicine.

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.
Yolanda F.
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.
Anna S.
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.
