After a car accident or slip-and-fall injury, accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective recovery.
Complete Care provides a full range of diagnostic imaging and testing services — from standard X-rays to advanced neurological studies, including DTI and SWI — at accredited facilities across Central Florida.
Same-day appointments are available, and results are coordinated directly with your care team.
Complete Care’s imaging and testing services cover the full spectrum of injury evaluation — from musculoskeletal imaging to advanced neurological assessment.
All imaging is performed only when medically necessary and interpreted in the context of your complete injury picture.
MRI services are available for patients referred through participating insurance carriers, third-party administrators (TPAs) and authorized referral sources.
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency waves to produce detailed images of soft tissue,
intervertebral discs, spinal cord, joints, and organs.
It is one of the most effective tools for identifying injuries that X-rays cannot detect, including disc herniations, ligament tears, and nerve compression.
Our open-bore MRI machines offer a more spacious, accessible alternative to traditional closed-bore scanners — without sacrificing image quality.
This imaging option is Ideal for patients who are claustrophobic, larger-bodied, or have mobility limitations, and it features AI-assisted patient positioning, Biomatrix motion-correction technology, and distortion-free whole-body diffusion-weighted imaging.
DTI and DT-MRI are advanced MRI techniques that track the movement of water molecules within the brain’s white matter.
It can detect traumatic brain injury and axonal damage that standard MRI scans miss — critical for patients with post-concussion symptoms, cognitive changes, or neurological complaints following an accident.
X-ray is the standard for fast, painless imaging used to identify fractures, dislocations, and bone-related injuries, and is typically the first imaging step after an accident.
Complete Care offers on-site digital X-ray at clinic locations.
EMG measures the electrical activity of muscles at rest and during contraction.
It helps identify nerve and muscle dysfunction, including radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and muscle disease, resulting from accident-related trauma.
An EMG is often performed alongside NCV testing.
NCV testing measures how quickly electrical signals travel through a nerve.
It is used to evaluate nerve damage and identify carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, and nerve compression injuries common after auto accidents and slip-and-fall incidents.
VNG is a diagnostic test that evaluates inner ear function and central motor function by measuring eye movements.
It is used to assess dizziness, balance disorders, and vestibular dysfunction — symptoms that frequently follow head trauma or whiplash.
SWI is an advanced MRI technique that enhances contrast to detect subtle differences in brain tissue.
This imaging option is particularly effective at identifying microbleeds, venous abnormalities, and iron deposits that can indicate traumatic brain injury — findings that standard MRI sequences may not capture.
Auto accidents cause a wide range of injuries — many of which are not immediately visible.
Whiplash, disc herniations, nerve compression, and traumatic brain injuries often develop or worsen in the days following a collision.
Accurate imaging is essential for identifying these injuries early, documenting them for insurance and legal purposes, and building an effective treatment plan.
Complete Care’s imaging services are designed for patients with accident-related injuries.
Our radiologists and imaging technicians work alongside the clinical team to ensure results are interpreted in the context of your full injury picture — not in isolation.

Here’s why patients choose us for imaging after an accident:
MRI can evaluate soft tissue injuries, disc herniations, spinal cord compression, ligament and tendon tears, joint injuries, and brain abnormalities.
It is particularly useful for identifying injuries that do not appear on X-rays, such as nerve compression and soft-tissue damage.
Both imaging options produce the same-quality diagnostic images. The difference lies in the machine’s physical design.
Open-bore MRI has a wider opening, making it more comfortable for patients who are claustrophobic, larger-bodied, or have limited mobility.
Complete Care offers open-bore MRI at select locations.
Depending on the type of exam, most MRIs take between 20 and 45 minutes.
Remove all metal objects, including jewelry, hairpins, and piercings, before your scan.
Let your provider know about any metal implants, pacemakers, metallic orthopedic hardware, or dental work. You will change into a gown and lie on a table that moves into the scanner.
Both produce detailed images of the body’s internal structures, but they use different technologies.
CT scans use X-rays while MRIs use magnetic fields and radio waves.
MRI is generally preferred for soft tissue evaluation.
DTI (diffusion tensor imaging) is an advanced MRI technique that tracks the movement of water molecules in the brain’s white matter. It is used when a traumatic brain injury is suspected, but a standard MRI has not identified an abnormality. DTI can detect axonal damage and white-matter disruption that traditional imaging often misses.
EMG and NCV testing are used together to evaluate nerve and muscle function. They help identify nerve damage, radiculopathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and peripheral neuropathy — conditions that can result from accident-related trauma.
These tests are often ordered when a patient has numbness, tingling, weakness, or radiating pain.
No. Complete Care’s diagnostic imaging services are available to Complete Care patients.
If you are already receiving care at one of our clinics, your provider can order imaging directly.
If you are new to Complete Care, start with a same-day evaluation, and your provider will determine what imaging is appropriate.
Yes. Our MRI services are accredited by the American College of Radiology, which sets the standard for imaging quality and patient safety.
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective injury recovery.
Complete Care offers same-day and walk-in appointments at 30+ clinic locations across Central Florida — so you can get the imaging you need without delay.
