The History of Elko Diagnostic ImagingFounded by Dr. Joanie Haid in 1992, Elko Diagnostic Imaging (EDI) has maintained a reputation of offering superior outpatient imaging services. The partnership formed with Reno Diagnostic Centers (RDC) in Reno, NV in 2005 has provided EDI with the latest in 100% digital imaging technology, while maintaining personalized care. Our staff is comprised of compassionate, licensed and American College of Radiology (ACR) Certified technologists, and a team of compassionate and highly skilled board-certified and fellowship trained Radiologists. This dedication to quality patient care, coupled with state-of-the-art 100% digital technology imaging allows EDI to bring modern day radiology to the residents of Elko. Digital files allow immediate access to images and reports over a secure online connection, which also virtually eliminates lost films. Studies can also be sent electronically to either RDC for further evaluation on their 3-D Vitreao workstation, or to any academic sub-specialty expert from around the world, without the patient ever having to leave Elko county. EDI is proud to bring this high level of quality patient care to the Elko community. We actively support various local charities, schools and events. We are proud to be a part of this community and to bring our community the best imaging available. 1992Elko Diagnostic Imaging Founded by Dr. Joanie Haid.2002Mobile MRI available weekly at EDI.April 2005Dr. Joanie Haid partners with Reno Diagnostic Centers to help expand EDI's imaging services.October 2005New GE 1.5 HD Excite MRI installed, offering a full compliment of MRI services interpreted by RDC radiologists.January 2006New DXA - Bone Densitometry scanner installed, allowing faster and more accurate bone density scans and body fat analysis to be performed.March 2007New GE Multi-Slice Spiral CT and new GE Fluoroscopy scanner installed – the latest in medical imaging technology with faster studies for improved patient comfort.PACS – picture archiving and communication system also installed – eliminates lost films and provides immediate and secure online access to referring physician offices of patient images and reports.
