Stop stressing over your MRI at Accident Care and Treatment Center
If just thinking about getting an MRI makes you claustrophobic, our GE Signa 450W short wide bore 1.5 Tesla scanner is designed to make the experience much more comfortable. Instead of the long, tight tunnel many people picture, this system has a shorter length and a wider opening around your body, which can significantly ease that “closed in” feeling that comes with traditional canister style MRI machines.
The wider bore also gives more room for patients with larger body types, so many people who struggle to fit comfortably in older scanners can often have their MRI done here without feeling squeezed. The more open feel is also helpful for children and anxious patients, who may already be nervous about medical tests.
You get the same hospital quality imaging our doctors need to find hidden injuries from auto accidents, along with a calmer, more patient friendly MRI experience right in our Oklahoma City clinic.

Imaging and Medical Diagnostics can cause anxiety in some people, but at Accident Care and Treatment Center, Inc., there is no need to worry. Our noninvasive equipment and cutting edge technology will provide the answers you need and the comfort you deserve. Our on-site medical diagnostics and imaging includes, but is not limited to:
- MRI – At Accident Care and Treatment Center, Inc., our on-site MRI suite features the GE Signa 450W short wide bore 1.5 Tesla scanner. This advanced system is designed to give accident patients the best of both worlds: hospital level image quality with a short wide bore rather than a long narrow tunnel.
The short, wide bore design creates more space around your head and body, which can help reduce feelings of claustrophobia and make it easier to relax during the exam. Because the system is 1.5 Tesla, it delivers the high resolution images our doctors need to detect hidden injuries from auto accidents, including soft tissue damage, disc injuries, ligament tears, and subtle spinal changes that may not show up on X rays alone.
MRI uses a strong magnet and radio waves, not ionizing radiation, to create detailed images of the inside of your body. The data can be processed in different ways so our physicians can evaluate various types of tissue in fine detail. Having this state of the art MRI in house means you do not have to travel to another facility for advanced imaging. Your scan, results, and treatment plan all happen under one roof, supervised by medical doctors who focus exclusively on auto accident injuries.
- Ultrasound Scanner – Our non invasive Canon Aplio a550 ultrasound system is an effective way to evaluate the body’s internal organs and soft tissues without radiation. Ultrasound uses sound waves to “see” inside the body in much the same way sonar works, with the returning echoes creating clear images of different types of tissue. Just as with fetal ultrasound, our advanced digital ultrasound lets our doctors watch structures move in real time, so they can spot muscle, tendon, ligament, and organ injuries related to auto accidents as they happen. This helps our medical team quickly assess damage and guide treatment right here in our Oklahoma City clinic.
- CT –Our state of the art Siemens SOMATOM go.Top 128 slice computed tomography (CT), also called a CAT scan, is a computer controlled system that captures extremely thin X ray “slices” of the body. The system’s advanced 128 slice technology collects dozens of images in a single rotation, then uses digital processing to stitch those two dimensional slices into detailed three dimensional views. This gives our doctors clear, high resolution images of internal anatomical structures, so they can quickly identify fractures, internal bleeding, organ injuries, and other trauma related damage after an auto accident.
- X-rays – With X-ray capability, our accident-injury doctors are able to quickly get an inside look at what’s going on with your bones. X-ray images allow us to identify and characterize fractures, which are quite common in auto accident injuries. And some fractures can be complex while others can be subtle and can potentially go unaddressed without proper evaluation and imaging.
- Other tests – If necessary, we may order additional diagnostic studies to reach the most accurate and complete diagnosis. These could include various laboratory blood panels or other lab tests. Basically, our auto-injury doctors will call upon whatever diagnostic modality will empower us to completely understand your injury, because that is the key to treating it effectively.
Our experienced medical team knows how important getting the right answers are for our patients. By providing an on-site center for medical diagnostics and imaging in Oklahoma City, we hope to provide a comfortable and easy to use facility that is able to diagnose and treat your auto accident injuries in Oklahoma City as fast as possible so that you can get back to what really matters.
