Same-Day Results.
Integrated Care.

Diagnostic radiology uses medical imaging to see inside the body — providing the detailed information needed to accurately diagnose orthopedic conditions, plan surgical procedures, and monitor treatment progress over time.

At AOI, our on-site radiology capabilities allow Dr. Cook to order and review imaging during your visit — eliminating the delays that come with outside imaging centers. No extra appointments, no waiting days for results from a separate facility. Your diagnosis is informed by the most current, complete picture available.

From a quick X-ray to confirm a fracture, to pre-surgical imaging before shoulder replacement, our radiology services are fully integrated into your orthopedic care — providing the clarity that makes every treatment decision more precise and effective.

The AOI Imaging Advantage

Why On-Site Imaging Matters

No Extra Appointments

Imaging happens during your visit — not at a separate facility on another day. Dr. Cook reviews results the same day, keeping your care moving forward without delays.

Orthopedic Context

Your imaging is interpreted in the context of your specific orthopedic condition — not a generic radiology read. Dr. Cook views your images alongside your exam findings for complete diagnostic accuracy.

Integrated Care Record

Your imaging is part of your complete AOI medical record — instantly available to your care team, stored securely, and referenced at every future visit throughout your treatment.

What We Can Diagnose

Imaging Services at AOI

Fractures & Bone Injuries

X-rays provide fast, clear views of bone structure — confirming fractures, assessing alignment, and guiding treatment decisions from splinting to surgical fixation.

Soft Tissue Damage

Advanced imaging helps visualize rotator cuff tears, meniscus injuries, labral damage, and ligament tears — conditions that don’t appear on standard X-rays.

Arthritis & Joint Wear

Sprains, strains, fracture recovery, and general musculoskeletal injuries benefit from our individualized rehab programs that restore strength and range of motion.

Pre-Surgical Planning

Detailed imaging before shoulder replacement or other procedures allows Dr. Cook to measure anatomy precisely, select the right implant size, and plan the safest surgical approach.

Post-Surgical Follow-Up

Follow-up imaging confirms implant positioning after joint replacement and monitors healing after fracture repair — ensuring your recovery is progressing exactly as planned.

Chronic & Degenerative Conditions

Serial imaging over time tracks the progression of arthritis or degenerative conditions — informing the right time to escalate treatment and when conservative management remains appropriate.

There’s no waiting for reports to transfer from outside facilities, no delays in starting treatment, and no gaps in communication between your imaging provider and your physician.

Every image taken at AOI is part of your complete orthopedic record — available at every appointment, referenced throughout your care, and updated as your condition evolves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about imaging at AOI? Here are the answers patients ask us most often — and our team is always available to help with more.

For standard X-rays, no special preparation is needed. Wear comfortable, easily removable clothing on the day of your appointment. For other types of imaging, your care team will provide specific instructions beforehand.

In most cases, Dr. Cook reviews your imaging the same day and discusses findings with you during your visit. This is one of the key benefits of on-site radiology — no waiting days for a report from an outside facility.

Modern digital X-ray uses very low doses of radiation — far below levels associated with any health risk. The diagnostic benefit of accurate imaging far outweighs the minimal radiation exposure. Let our team know if you are pregnant or may be pregnant.

Yes — if you have recent X-rays or MRI from another facility, bring them or have them sent to AOI before your appointment. Dr. Cook will review all available imaging to give you the most comprehensive evaluation possible.

Most major insurance plans, including Medicare, cover medically necessary imaging. Specific coverage depends on your plan and deductible. Our billing team can help you understand your benefits before your appointment.

Some conditions — particularly soft tissue injuries — may not appear on standard X-rays. In those cases, Dr. Cook may order additional imaging or recommend diagnostic arthroscopy to identify the issue and determine the best treatment path.
