There is mounting concern over CT radiation. MRI, unlike CT, nuclear medicine, or X-Rays does not use radiation to generate the diagnostic images. Most MRI machines are limited in their full body coverage; however, our new generation full body MRI machine is designed for imaging any part of the entire body, and can effectively replace most CT studies, with better diagnostic detail and with no radiation.

LITIGATION – MEDICAL LEGAL

AIM's MRI diagnostic imaging is a powerful tool for those undergoing Litigation or Medical Legal insurance claims. At AIM, an expedited finalized report of the findings and a CD with high resolution images offer a non-bias assessment of any injury.

These services also benefit all parties (claimants, lawyers, insurers, etc.) involved and dramatically hasten the process of resolving a claim. Further, the treating physician and/or specialists are forwarded copies of the final report and CD in a time-conscious manner. Doing so promptly orchestrates a speedy recovery plan for the claimant by their physician and/or specialist. Please feel free to contact our office for additional information.
