Services
MRI Scans
Our MRI services include 1.5T High Field, 3T High Field, and Open MRI options accommodating claustrophobic patients and various body types. Family members may accompany patients during scans after safety screening. Specialized scans include prostate MRI with iCAD VividLook software, MR angiograms, and nerve imaging. The 80cm bore system provides enhanced comfort while maintaining diagnostic image quality.
Lung Cancer Screening
Low-dose CT lung cancer screening uses advanced ASiR technology to detect early-stage cancer in high-risk patients. Eligible individuals aged 50-80 with 20-year smoking history receive annual screenings covered by Medicare and private insurers. The 10-minute exam costs hundreds less than hospital alternatives while maintaining diagnostic accuracy.
DEXA Bone Density
DEXA scans measure bone mineral density to diagnose osteoporosis and assess fracture risk. This non-invasive test is crucial for women over 50 and those with risk factors like early menopause or cortisone use. Results help physicians develop targeted treatment plans to prevent bone loss progression.
Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine studies evaluate organ function at the cellular level using radioactive tracers. Services include bone scans, thyroid imaging, and renal function tests. The modality detects early disease processes undetectable by structural imaging, with radiation exposure lower than conventional CT scans.
CT Scans
Our 16-slice LightSpeed CT with ASiR technology provides high-resolution imaging for neurological, cardiovascular, and abdominal diagnostics. The system accommodates patients up to 400 lbs and completes most scans in under 60 seconds. Advanced applications include CT angiography for vascular disease assessment.

My first MRI and visit with Lexington diagnostic center the staff that I had the pleasure to meet was Geneva, Breanna and Paula, they made me feel comfortable. They were super patient with me due to me being claustrophobic. They noticed how I was super stressed and fearful to have the MRI. The three ladies professionalism was totally excellent. Very rare to get that type of service. Thanks ladies keep up the good work!

Everyone was very nice. There was no waiting. I was called right up to complete paperwork. The tech was very professional and has lots of experience doing these scans. He explained everything.every step. as he did it. I waited just about 5 minutes to get my disc to take with me and was on my way.

Report
Appointment was confirmed by phone, I was made aware of my portion of the costs upfront which I appreciated. Waiting room was comfortable despite being somewhat dated. The clinical staff were very professional and pleasant. I would have given a 5Star review except that the front desk person that checked me in was somewhat snarky when their listed diagnosis/requested exam didn't match what I was actually there for. Instead of assisting me in resolving the issue she took the position that it wasn't her problem and left me to deal with it. Not a great level of customer service.

All of the employees were courteous and considerate. They expedited the check in process by supplying the contrast media and instructions, registration paperwork etc. to be completed at home prior to the appointment thereby reducing the amount of time spent in the waiting room. I highly recommend this facility after having several studies completed there over the years. Appointments were I'm easily obtained.

From the minute I received a phone call regarding an appointment for the MRI, I felt respected, and valued. Every person I encountered was kind, understanding, and treated me as if I were their only appointment for the day. The MRI itself wasn't bad at all. I was able to listen to music during the process, and the technician spoke with me to make sure I was doing fine, and to let me know what was going on every step of the way.

I was very impressed, I was treated so kind and thoughtful. The lady that checked me in helped me set up payments, and didn't tread me bad because I couldn't afford my co pay in full. The nurse that took me back explained everything, kept comforting me and made sure I was ok, and I really felt like family instead of like the next person in line.
