The Center for Diagnostic Imaging Opens A New Facility In Indiana

Medical imaging has been one of the most significantly important tools providing help to doctors during diagnosis. Diagnostic imaging centers are competing between each other to provide higher levels of service. For instance, the Indiana-based Center for Diagnostic Imaging decided to establish a new facility for its patients at the western section of the city. The Center decided to do so after reviewing the needs of the patients in the city. The Center for Diagnostic Imaging started a new outpatient medical imaging and image-guided procedure center in Avon. Another MRI facility at the center of the city was closed in order to avoid duplicating services. The recently opened imaging facility in Avon has several services imaging systems including a 1.5T open MRI device, digital X-ray systems, in addition to the capability of performing image-guided interventional procedures that provide help during the diagnosis and treatment of joint disorders and back pain.
