Traumatic Brain Injury Imaging at Advanced Imaging Reno
Traumatic brain injuries are frequently underdiagnosed with standard imaging. At Advanced Imaging Reno, we use advanced technology to go beyond a basic scan — giving you and your provider a more complete picture of what’s happening in the brain. If you’ve suffered a concussion or head injury and were told your scan “came back normal” but are still experiencing symptoms, our TBI-focused imaging may provide the answers you need.
Volumetric Quantification
An advanced AI-driven diagnostic tool that combines MRI brain data with clinical and cognitive test results to detect subtle abnormalities, differentiate injury severities, and track disease progression over time. It analyzes 133 regions of the brain and compares findings against a large reference population database — providing information that standard MRI reports simply cannot.
Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI)
DTI measures how water moves through white matter in the brain, making it possible to detect damage to nerve pathways — including stretching or tearing of axons — that may not appear on a standard MRI. This is especially valuable for patients with concussions, TBIs, or unexplained neurological symptoms who have not received a clear diagnosis through conventional imaging.
Advanced Quantification for Neurological Disorders
At Advanced Imaging Reno in Reno, NV , we use Combinostics — a leading AI-powered neuroimaging platform — to provide detailed quantitative brain analysis as part of our clinical diagnostic MRI services. This technology gives patients and providers far more actionable insight than a traditional radiologist report alone.
Dementia & Alzheimer’s Imaging
Alzheimer’s disease affects millions — and that number is growing. Projections suggest 14 million Americans could be diagnosed by 2060. At Advanced Imaging Reno, we use volumetric quantification of 133 brain areas to provide deeper insight into your brain health. Density measurements across different brain regions are compared against age-matched norms, helping identify early warning signs that standard imaging misses. Early detection can open the door to more treatment options and better outcomes.

Multiple Sclerosis Imaging & Lesion Tracking
Living with Multiple Sclerosis means constantly wondering if your disease is progressing. Standard radiologic reports often offer little reassurance — noting “total lesion burden is about the same” without concrete data to compare. At Advanced Imaging Reno, our MS imaging goes further. Previous MRI scans can be uploaded and compared directly to your current scan, giving you a clear picture of whether lesions are growing, shrinking, increasing, or decreasing in number over time.

Clinical Diagnostic MRI — Frequently Asked Questions
What is a clinical diagnostic MRI?
A clinical diagnostic MRI is a medical imaging scan used to evaluate specific areas of the body for injury, disease, or abnormalities. Unlike screening MRIs, which look for hidden conditions across the whole body, a diagnostic MRI is ordered by a provider to investigate a specific concern — such as a painful joint, suspected nerve damage, or a neurological symptom. At Advanced Imaging Reno in Reno, NV , we offer non-contrast diagnostic MRIs of over 30 body areas with fast turnaround.
Do I need a referral to get a diagnostic MRI at Advanced Imaging Reno?
In many cases, you do not need a referral to schedule a diagnostic MRI at Advanced Imaging Reno. We accept self-pay patients at competitive cash prices. If you are using a lien, workers’ compensation, or a benefit plan, a referral or authorization may be required. Call us at (775) 507-3331 and we’ll help clarify what’s needed for your specific situation.
How is Advanced Imaging Reno different from a hospital MRI?
At Advanced Imaging Reno, we offer significantly shorter wait times, lower cash prices, same-day availability, and a more comfortable, patient-focused experience. Our 70cm bore MRI machine is wider than many standard MRI units, making the experience less claustrophobic. We also offer advanced post-processing tools like Volumetric Quantification and DTI imaging that most hospital MRIs do not provide.
What is Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and why does it matter for TBI patients?
Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is a specialized MRI technique that measures the movement of water through white matter in the brain. This allows our imaging team to detect damage to nerve pathways — such as axonal stretching or tearing — that won’t appear on a standard MRI scan. For patients who have experienced a traumatic brain injury and received a “normal” MRI result but still have symptoms, DTI can be a critical next step in finding answers.
How long does a clinical diagnostic MRI take?
Most clinical diagnostic MRI scans at Advanced Imaging Reno take between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the area being imaged. When you book your appointment, you’ll receive a detailed quote, arrival instructions, and a medical history questionnaire so the process is as smooth as possible. Results are typically returned to you and your provider within a few business days.
Does Advanced Imaging Reno accept insurance for diagnostic MRIs?
Advanced Imaging Reno accepts liens, workers’ compensation, benefit plan administrators, and Cigna. For patients without insurance coverage, we offer transparent cash pricing with no hidden fees. We also work with CareCredit and Affirm for flexible financing. Visit our Payment & Financing page to learn more, or call (775) 507-3331 to discuss your options before booking.
What neurological conditions can Advanced Imaging Reno help diagnose?
Our clinical diagnostic MRI services, combined with advanced Combinostics technology, can provide quantitative imaging support for a range of neurological conditions including traumatic brain injuries, concussions, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s-related conditions, and epilepsy. Our Volumetric Quantification reports analyze 133 areas of the brain, giving your provider data that standard MRI reports cannot.
