Center for Diagnostic Imaging (CDI) is pleased to announce the opening of an outpatient medical imaging and image-guided procedure center in Avon, Indiana. The new center allows CDI to better serve medical providers and patients in the western Indianapolis communities.
“We've long seen a need for high-quality, cost-effective medical imaging services in our western Indianapolis communities as patient convenience plays a large role in the decision on where to go for healthcare services”
Located at 9819 E US Highway 36 in Avon, CDI's Indy West center offers high-field (1.5T), wide-open MRI and digital x-ray, in addition to image-guided interventional procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of joint and back pain.
"We've long seen a need for high-quality, cost-effective medical imaging services in our western Indianapolis communities as patient convenience plays a large role in the decision on where to go for healthcare services," states Laura Stark, Vice President of Operations, CDI. "While we considered this expansion, we knew we wanted to do so without duplicating medical imaging services unnecessarily. For this reason, the time was also right to close our downtown MRI facility formerly on Capitol Avenue."
With the opening of the Avon location and the closing of the facility on Capitol Avenue, CDI still operates six locations throughout Indianapolis.
"Our ongoing commitment to investing in quality imaging technology is evident in our new center," said Dr. Thomas Vahey, CDI body radiologist and Medical Director. "Specifically, the Espree MRI offers the best of two worlds. It's a high-field strength scanner which provides extremely detailed images for more accurate diagnoses, and it has a much larger bore, or opening, which helps ease claustrophobic or larger patients through the MRI experience."
