FAQs

Is a 3T MRI better for detecting soft tissue injuries?

Ask your referring clinician and imaging center whether your prescribed examination requires a 3T scanner. MRI is used to evaluate soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments; see RadiologyInfo’s overview of musculoskeletal MRI for general information. Our Arizona equipment inventory includes 1.5T MRI systems and 0.3T open MRI systems. Open MRI is available at Scottsdale, Peoria, and Tucson–Campbell. A 0.3T scanner is not a 3T scanner. If your order specifies 3T MRI or a specialized protocol, call before booking so our team can confirm the requirements and availability. For Texas appointments, contact the center directly to confirm scanner type and field strength. Call 844-641-2111 or visit our Locations directory. Share your imaging order and any comfort concerns when scheduling. Read our MRI Centers in Phoenix: Open MRI Locations and Scanner Options guide for verified Arizona open-MRI locations. Related FAQs

Can a Diagnostic Imaging Center Place a Lien on my Legal Settlement?

Yes, we can place a legal lien on your personal injury settlement to cover the cost of your diagnostic imaging. This arrangement, known as personal injury medical lien-based imaging, allows you to receive essential diagnostic scans—such as an MRI, CT scan, or X-ray—without any out-of-pocket costs at the time of your appointment. Here is how the lien process works for our patients in Arizona and Texas: It is important to note that the lien amount reduces your net settlement proceeds, as we are paid from the settlement funds before the remainder is distributed to you. Additionally, if your case does not result in a favorable settlement or judgment, you may still be responsible for the balance. We recommend discussing these financial responsibilities with your attorney. Results may vary based on individual patient conditions. Please consult with a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment advice. Related FAQs
