Physicians and their patients, and private individuals, are finding state-of-the-art technology and a standard of care that is without equal when they call upon Alaska Open Imaging Center for a variety of outpatient diagnostic services.

AOIC performs personalized diagnostic medical imaging services in six modalities:

* Computerized Tomography (Cat Scan)

* Ultrasound

* Nuclear Medicine

* Digital X-Ray

* Bone Density Testing

AOIC's staff of professionals is headed by Summit Radiology's noted physician, Robert L. Bridges, M.D., who is one of only a few physicians in Alaska board certified in both Radiology and Nuclear Medicine.

He points out that the "open" aspect of the imaging process allows for parents to be in physical contact with their children, and if close quarters are a problem for a patient, there is no claustrophobic anxiety with an open MRI.
