For instance, you may need to prepare for the examination up to 24 hours in advance by fasting or observing some special diet, or you may be instructed to simply eat and behave normally.

Compare Prices - Save Money!

Did you know that the same imaging test can cost two to three times more if done in a hospital, or in an imaging center affiliated with a hospital? At Diagnostic Imaging Services, we offer imaging services for often two to three times less than competing hospitals! Savvy consumers shop around for everything from living room furniture to home computers, but when it comes to medical imaging, many don't realize the importance of comparison shopping. Are you concerned about how much your MRI, CT scan, ultrasound, x-ray or other imaging exam will cost you? If your insurance plan has a deductible or coinsurance, or if the exam you need is not covered by insurance, you may pay significantly more for your imaging exam at a hospital based center than you will pay at D.I.S.!

Our History

As an independent outpatient medical imaging provider, in 2013, Diagnostic Imaging Services will celebrate its 40th year of serving the greater New Orleans and southeast Louisiana markets! As an innovative leader in imaging examinations and tests, and with three locations in the New Orleans area, D.I.S. provides a wide array of outpatient diagnostic imaging services to meet the needs of our patients and their physicians.

We’ve continued to bring new imaging technologies to the community. D.I.S. is home to the only 1.2T High Field Open Sided MRI system in Louisiana! For you, this means a system in which you are not placed inside a tunnel (often called a bore) and have a wide view of the exam room. This system is perfect for nervous, anxious or claustrophobic patients. For the physician, “High Field” refers to the strength of the magnet. The higher the strength, the better the quality of images provided in the results. Better comfort for you – excellent value for the doctor.

Regardless of the location you visit, we hope you will find that D.I.S. offers a relaxed environment created with your comfort in mind. Ample ground-floor parking (no multi-story hospital parking garages!), comfortable seating areas, plenty of reading materials and viewing lounges with flat screen television sets are some of the amenities we offer.
