At Capitol Imaging Services, we’re committed to delivering a 5-star experience to every patient, every time.
Diagnostic imaging plays a vital role in early detection, accurate diagnosis, and effective treatment planning—helping you and your doctor make informed healthcare decisions.
When your doctor recommends a radiological scan—such as an MRI, CT, PET, X-ray, or ultrasound—you’ll receive a referral, often referred to as “orders.” But remember: no one has the right to order you around! You have the power to choose where to have your medical imaging done. Even if your physician suggests a specific facility, the final decision is yours.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF OPEN MRI? Open MRI systems reduce patient anxiety and claustrophobia and can accommodate the size of larger patients. It is estimated that tube, or closed-bore, MRI systems are unable to perform MRI procedures on a sizable percentage of patients due to patient size and claustrophobia. And much of the remainder of the population find the closed-bore MRI procedures extremely uncomfortable and intimidating, often requiring medication to endure the experience.
Our Facility has undergone a rigorous review process and meets nationally accepted standards of care.
Our Personnel are well qualified to perform your procedure and interpret your medical images.
Our Equipment is assessed by a medical imaging expert who verifies that it functions properly, takes optimal images, and utilizes appropriate radiation dose levels.
