Exceptional Doctors, Extraordinary Care
About Urgent Diagnostic Imaging Center
Our Story
Urgent Diagnostic Imaging Center is a Glendale-based outpatient imaging center founded on a simple idea: patients should not sit in an emergency room for hours to get diagnostic answers. We provide same-day imaging and results, so patients and referring providers can get the answers they need without unnecessary delays. We deliver in-depth, hospital-grade imaging at our Glendale office and directly at physician offices, urgent care centers, nursing homes, retirement communities, and patient residences across Los Angeles County, at a fraction of the cost of an ER visit. Our partnerships with urgent care facilities throughout LA have helped each site increase patient volume by keeping diagnostic imaging convenient for patients, providers, and facilities alike.
Experienced Professionals Behind Every Exam
Every scan we perform is a partnership between a skilled sonographer and a physician. That combination is what turns an image into a diagnosis your doctor can act on the same day.
ARDMS-Credentialed Sonographers
Our ARDMS-licensed sonographers are credentialed by the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonographers and bring 20 years of experience to every exam. That depth matters in time-sensitive cases, from suspected deep vein thrombosis and acute appendicitis to kidney stones and gallstones.
Interpretation by Board-Certified Radiologists
Every procedure we perform is interpreted by a board-certified radiologist. Preliminary reports are available upon completion of your exam, final reports are faxed the same day, and STAT reports are delivered within one hour when time matters most.
Our Team
Our team pairs experienced sonographers with board-certified radiologists to ensure every scan is captured, interpreted, and reported with precision. With 20 years of diagnostic experience, we handle both routine and time-sensitive cases, with preliminary reports available the same day and STAT reports delivered within one hour.

Imaging at Our Glendale Center or at Your Location
We meet patients wherever they are. Whether you visit us in Glendale or need imaging brought to a facility, home, or bedside, the exam quality, sonographer credentials, and radiologist review are the same.
Visit Our Glendale Imaging Center
Our Glendale diagnostic imaging center at 1030 S. Glendale Ave, #405 is open Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 8 PM, and weekends, 9 AM to 5 PM. Same-day ultrasound appointments and walk-ins are welcome.
Mobile Imaging Across Los Angeles County
Our mobile diagnostic imaging team travels to physician offices, urgent care centers, nursing homes, retirement communities, and patient residences across LA County. Mobile ultrasound services are especially valuable for elderly, disabled, and bedbound patients who cannot easily travel to a clinic. Our technicians typically complete on-site diagnostic exams in about 30 minutes.
What Makes Our Imaging Experience Different
When patients and providers choose us over a hospital radiology department, these are the reasons why.
Same-Day Availability
Walk in, book online, or refer a patient for the same day. Same-day diagnostic imaging is the standard, not the exception.
Care Wherever It Is Needed
Whether it is a bedside exam at a skilled nursing facility or an on-site visit to a physician’s office, we bring the imaging to you rather than moving the patient.
Timely Reports
Preliminary results are available at the end of your exam. Final reports are faxed the same day, and STAT reports are delivered within one hour.
Convenient Outpatient Care
As an outpatient imaging center, we handle in-depth studies that would otherwise require an ER visit, for a fraction of the cost and none of the wait.
Experienced Imaging Professionals
Twenty years of diagnostic experience means our sonographers can capture the images your radiologist needs the first time, even in complex or urgent cases.
Insurance and Self-Pay Options
We accept Medicare, most PPO and HMO plans, and cash pay. No prior authorization is required for select plans. We verify benefits before your visit so you know your coverage and expected out-of-pocket cost upfront.
Diagnostic Imaging Services We Provide
Our diagnostic imaging services cover the studies patients and referring physicians need most often.
Technology That Supports Clear, Efficient Imaging
We invest in equipment that shortens exam time and sharpens diagnostic accuracy.
Invenia ABUS 2.0 by GE HealthCare
Our automated 3D breast ultrasound system is FDA-approved as an adjunct to mammography for women with dense breast tissue. It scans the entire breast in about 15 minutes, without radiation or compression.
Advanced Mobile Ultrasound Equipment
Our portable ultrasound systems deliver the same image quality as our in-clinic scanners, so mobile patients receive care that meets the same diagnostic standard.
Supporting Patients and Healthcare Providers
Our work extends beyond the exam room. Here is how we support the people who rely on us.
For Patients and Families
Fast, accurate imaging in a comfortable outpatient setting, without the cost or wait of an emergency room. We coordinate with your physician so you get clear answers quickly.
For Referring Physicians
Easy ordering, clean radiology reports faxed the same day, and STAT reads within one hour when time matters. Preliminary reads are available at exam completion for urgent cases.
For Urgent Care and Senior Care Facilities
We partner with urgent care and senior care facilities across Los Angeles, including Burbank Urgent Care, Urgent 9, Glenoaks Urgent Care, Mend Urgent Care, Lakeside Urgent Care, Exer Urgent Care, Urgent Care One, Care Fast Urgent Care, Studio City Urgent Care, Visit Health Urgent Care, Mederi Urgent Care, Holy Cross Urgent Care, and Carbon Health Urgent Care. Our onsite ultrasound services help each facility increase patient volume by keeping diagnostic imaging accessible without transfers.
Our Standards for Quality and Patient Safety
Every exam follows the same protocol regardless of setting. ARDMS-licensed sonographers use validated imaging techniques, board-certified radiologists interpret every study, and X-ray radiation is kept to the minimum needed for an accurate diagnosis. We use lead shielding, verify patient identity, and follow HIPAA-compliant procedures for handling and transmitting your images and reports.
