Reimagining the MRI Experience: A More Human Approach to Imaging
4 min read · Updated July 2025
Most people dread MRI scans. The noise, the tight space, the long wait times, the referrals and the costs. It often feels more like navigating a system than receiving care.
We've seen this firsthand: patients delaying scans they need, getting lost in referral loops, or facing high out‑of‑pocket costs and long waitlists. Meanwhile, providers are burned out by fragmented workflows and administrative friction.
So we asked a different question.
What if we could rebuild the MRI experience from the ground up? What if it could be fast, transparent, and financially realistic for regular people—and still deliver the image quality radiologists require?
That's what we're building at ViableDX.
Who we're here for
- Old injuries or post‑surgery aches that flare when the weather changes—wondering how it actually healed?
- Living with an implant or metal hardware and unsure if it's MRI‑safe?
- Need an MRI for a new or recurring pain, but don't have a referral (or can't wait for one)?
- On a high‑deductible plan and need upfront pricing before you schedule?
- Stuck in prior‑authorization limbo or tired of three‑week callbacks?
- Prefer privacy and a calmer experience than a hospital setting?
How we're doing it
- Mobile delivery + modern equipment – We bring the scanner to where it's needed, reducing overheads and passing savings on to patients.
- Streamlined, intuitive scheduling – Book online in minutes. No phone tag. No opaque forms.
- Smart triage, explainable AI – We use decision support tools to help route the right scans—and we can show patients and clinicians why.
- Real radiologists, real oversight – Board‑certified subspecialists guide protocols and interpret every scan.
Tech that explains itself
AI is only helpful if patients and clinicians can trust it. That's why our clinical decision support and workflow tools are designed to be transparent. If our system suggests a certain scan—or flags that imaging may not be appropriate—we can surface the reasoning, not just the result.
Early days, big vision. We're still early, but the mission is clear: make diagnostic clarity accessible without the usual friction. If you're a clinician, technologist, policymaker, or just someone who believes care can be better—let's connect.
Need an MRI? Get clarity without the runaround.
Transparent pricing, fast scheduling, and radiologist‑backed quality.
