How does medical imaging help best document my personal injury?

Imaging provides visual evidence of internal injuries such as fractures, soft tissue tears, or internal bleeding that may not be visible through a physical exam. These images serve as objective, tamper-proof records to support your medical and legal documentation.

Which scan is best for my injury?

CT scans are ideal for detecting internal bleeding or fractures, while MRI scans are best for soft tissue or ligament injuries. Your doctor will recommend the right test based on your symptoms and needs.

How soon should I schedule my scan after a personal injury?

Schedule as soon as possible to ensure your injury is documented accurately. American Health Imaging offers same-day and next-day appointments with extended and weekend hours for your convenience.

Can imaging help my insurance or legal claim?

Yes. Imaging creates objective proof of your injury that helps insurers and attorneys verify the extent and cause of your condition, strengthening your claim with medical accuracy.
