Neurology Imaging Capabilities

Our Advanced Sequences and Protocols for conditions like Multiple Sclerosis,
Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, minor head trauma, and other neurological
conditions.

3D Sequences

3D Sequences are isotropic thin slice images that allow multi-planar reformats and 3D reconstructions.

Fast Grey Matter Acquisition T1 Inversion Recovery

Fast Gray Matter Acquisition T1 Inversion Recovery (FGATIR) nulls the white matter of the brain to give physicians an accurate and precise look at grey matter structures that are not easily seen with traditional sequences. Useful in evaluating for seizure foci.

Magnetization Prepared 2 Rapid Acquisition Gradient Echoes

Magnetization Prepared 2 Rapid Acquisition Gradient Echoes (MP2RAGE) is a fast 3D T1 sequence with a very high contrast that creates superior grey matter/white matter differentiation, showing a higher brain tissue and lesion contrast in multiple sclerosis patients.

Metal Artifact Reduction Software

Metal Artifact Reduction Software (MARS) ensures the best quality images are produced by minimizing the image artifacts and distortion caused by metal implants throughout the body. Commonly this is used evaluating the spine after surgery with fusion hardware in place.

Motion Correction in 3 Planes

Motion Correction in 3 Planes addresses both in-plane and through-plane motion artifacts.

Susceptibility Weighted Imaging

Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI) is an MRI sequence that is exquisitely sensitive to venous blood, hemorrhages, and iron storage, making it commonly used in the diagnosis/treatment of head injuries and concussions.

Alzheimer’s Disease Treatment Side Effect Monitoring (MRI Brain for ARIA)

American Health Imaging provides MRI Brain scans and reports to assess for plaques and any side effects associated with monoclonal antibody therapies.

Additional Quantitative Reports:

Diffusion Tensor Imaging

Becoming more common in the treatment of tumors and brain injuries; Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is used to visualize, assess, and build 3D models of white matter fiber tracts of the brain.

NeuroQuant

NeuroQuant, a medical software, provides volumetric measurements of brain structures and compares the volumes to normative reference data adjusted for age, sex, and intracranial volume. This is very useful following patients with dementia, seizures, and neurodegenerative diseases.

*Protocol, Sequences, and Advanced Services may differ by center location. Please contact your Diagnostic Imaging Specialist to verify if the desired imaging is available at your preferred location.

What Are Patients Saying?

I lost sleep since finding out I needed an MRI. I am extremely claustrophobic and anxious, just thinking about this appointment gave me massive anxiety. When I arrived to the office it was super clean, the staff was great but NAOMI… She was so patient. Absolutely sweet and cared that I was going through so much. She made me feel so secure. She played the music I wanted and talked me through every little session and also let me know how much time for each one. Thank you so much Naomi. I’ll never forget my experience and because of her, I don’t feel so afraid.

Lynda A.

Excellent experience with the MRI Technologist, the staff and the OPEN MRI machine. For those of us who struggle with claustrophobia we can understand how much it means to be able to get the medical care we need because of the availability of open MRI machines. We also understand the humiliation and frustration of not being able to use a closed MRI. American Health and the excellent team made this possible for me. Thank you so much!!

Leela D.

This place by far was my best imaging experience. I was in and out 10 minutes before my scheduled appointment. The front desk staff were very friendly and efficient, and my technician was super sweet and made me feel very comfortable. I definitely recommend this place for your imaging needs.

Corina W.

This was such an awesome and relaxing visit. Front desk was so nice and polite when I arrived. Christie my ultrasound tech was super helpful and nice explaining everything to me. You can tell she really cared, and I appreciate that. It’s hard to fine genuine care these days in healthcare, so when I experience it I make sure to give a shout out and say Thank you!

Marie B.

Best facility I have ever been to have an MRI or X-Ray done. They got me in when I was in need of a quick appointment in order for a consultation with the orthopedic surgeon to help with the pain and issues in my lower back and both feet and legs. Definitely the place to go for an MRI.

Talk about professionalism, I must say, American Health Imaging and its personnel it’s top notch! Even when things out of anyone’s control happen, they know how to help and support their patients. On our visit earlier this month, they made sure we were informed of the situation and next steps. And did it all with a smile and positive attitude. We need to appreciate more what they do and THANK them for it. With this said, Thank you!
