Arkansas Medical Imaging & Open MRI

Arkansas Open MRI was founded in 1997. Our first scan was performed on October 8, 1997 in Fayetteville. We now have two very convenient facilities. Our first is location at361 E. Millsap Rd. Our second facility opened November 11, 2003 in Bentonville at 1703 Phyllis, just west of I-540 at Exit 86. Patients may park right outside our buildings with no long admission process.

We like people to know they have a choice in where they get their MRI done. Up to 60 percent of patients choose an open MRI if they are given the opportunity. At Arkansas Medical Imaging & Open MRI, patients are our highest priority. We understand phobias and apprehension. Our staff is trained to comfort claustrophobic patients. Our goal is to make our patients as comfortable as possible, while maintaining the highest technical quality available.

We do the little things that may get overlooked in closed, tunnel-type MRI machines. Patients may even bring a friend or family member along to sit in the room with them during their scan. There is a music system in the machine allowing calming music, or patients may bring a CD of their favorite music. While we rarely need the patient to be sedated, the patient may consult their physician about this and we will gladly accommodate people who come to us with oral sedation.

We are in all of the local insurance networks,* so the patient does not have to worry about hefty out-of-network bills. Our staff will verify your insurance before your appointment allowing peace of mind in case a pre-certification is needed. Scheduling can be done by phone or fax. Our friendly staff will try to accommodate patients' busy lives. (Physicians will need to provide a written order.) The reports are ready for your doctor in 1-2 days, many times the same day. Our Centers continue to get rave reviews from referring doctors and reading physicians alike.

There are many reasons to CHOOSE Arkansas Medical Imaging & Open MRI. If your doctor requests an MRI, please ask them to send you to Arkansas Medical Imaging & Open MRI. You will be glad you did. Our service and quality really do make the difference!

Arkansas Medical Imaging & Open MRI has added additional imaging techniques to better meet the growing needs of the growing Northwest Arkansas population. No longer must you go to a different clinic or hospital to get a diagnostic ultrasound, X-Ray or CT scan. These scans are now available in both of our locations.

Our hours of operation are currently Monday-Friday, 8:00-6:00, and Saturday by appointment.
