*pricing is an average based on area hospital charges
Here are three things to consider when choosing where to have your medical imaging exam:
If you have a high deductible insurance plan, then you know it is important to ask questions about pricing, value and out-of-pocket expenses. Be sure to ask how many bills you will receive. Many hospital-based centers will send two or even three separate bills for technical, professional and facility fees. At Durham Diagnostic Imaging, you will receive just one bill that is all-inclusive, with no hidden charges.
We provide all patients with a Good Faith Estimate that includes individual patient details based on your insurance plan and the study being performed. This estimate takes into account your insurance coverage, deductible and copay or coinsurance.
High-quality imaging is a promise we make to our patients and our referring physicians. We use state-of-the-art equipment that is accredited by the American College of Radiology. Our expert team includes onsite, board-certified, fellowship-trained radiologists and registered technologists.
All radiologists are board certified
All technologists are registered and certified in each of their respective modalities
All imaging equipment is evaluated annually by an independent medical physicist
We are network of nine statewide locations offering same-day and next-day appointments, weekend and evening hours to allow for convenient access to our high-quality imaging services. We are not part of a hospital system with complex navigation and large parking decks; we are freestanding facilities and provide easy, front door parking. Your experience with us will be safe and efficient with minimal waiting and no worries about being rescheduled in order to accommodate urgent or ER cases.

Mammograms are only available at our Durham and Fayeteville locations.
Your time is important – to you, your family and us. That’s why screening mammograms performed at Durham Diagnostic Imaging generally take less than 30 minutes – less time than a typical doctor’s office visit.
Screening mammograms are the best way to help find breast cancer in its earliest stages, when cure rates are highest. A screening mammogram is for women who do not have significant symptoms. If we find a problem during your screening mammogram, or if you are experiencing unusual symptoms, we may recommend you receive a diagnostic mammogram or other breast imaging procedure to help identify the cause.Request a screening mammogram appointment
Our online request an appointment feature is for patients who would like to schedule a future appointment and is not intended for same day appointments.

Radiologist bios
Radiologists
Our imaging center provides community-based onsite radiology staffing during primary business hours to ensure an accurate, quick turnaround on reports and easier consultation between the referring physician and reading radiologist. Radiologists are fellowship trained and reports are delivered to the referring provider within 24-48 hours of their patient’s appointment.
The radiologists who read images taken at this center are not employees of this center or employees of this center’s manager. Rather, they are independent contractors. That means they have their own liability insurance, and neither this center nor this center’s manager is responsible for the radiologists’ actions or controls their medical decision-making.

Reviews
Jun 18, 2022I had a Chest X-ray done by Kaitlyn S. at DDI, and she was awesome! She called me back early and was extremely professional and efficient. She made sure I was as comfortable as possible, given that I was still easily short of breath from pneumonia. Awesome job!
Jun 9, 2022My check-in went smoothly, and the receptionist/check-in person was hospitable. My appointment was scheduled for 11:40, and I was to arrive by 11:25, but I arrived earlier, and I was finished with my appointment and heading out the door at 11:40. Kaitlyn was very professional, informative, and friendly, as well! She has a way of making patients feel comfortable!!! I hope that she will be my technician every time!!!
Jun 8, 2022The most pain-free experiences I've had during a mammogram. Thank you Kaitlyn.
May 2, 2022Ms. Kaitlyn, my technician, was wonderful, on time, professional and very pleasant service. I have used this facility for more than 20 years and would recommend this place to anyone Thank you
Apr 26, 2022Wonderful experience! Natalie at the front desk was SUPER helpful with check in. Caitlyn is not only an experienced and thorough technologist but patient and considerate as well. I would highly recommend!
Apr 14, 2022I've been to this location several times. I've always been treated with respect and within a reasonable amount if time. Reports are sent to me and/or my doctor in a reasonable amount of time also.
Mar 21, 2022I have had a great experience coming to DDI. I see Kaitlyn and she is so sweet and takes time with you as a patient and explains everything so well. She put me at ease and the mammogram was quick and relatively painless. If you need a mammogram, please book with Kaitlyn. I can't say enough about how lovely and professional she is!!!
Mar 2, 2022This was the easiest appointment I've ever had in any medical practice. I checked in at 8:05 My appointment was 8:20. I was checking out at 8:22. Naomi greeted me with a great big smile even though I couldn't see it through the mask! And Kaitlyn was so kind and gentle with the 3D mammogram that I received. I felt comfortable and welcome at this location. On another note... I do think that the lines in the parking lot need to be repainted when you have an opportunity.
Dec 15, 2021I was immediately checked in and only waited 2 minutes to be taken to the area. The practitioner spent a few minutes going over my history in a separate room and told me my risk factor percentage which I never had before. Once I changed I was imaged immediately and she explained the new image machine. There was no discomfort as she took her time to ensure I was situated properly.
Dec 11, 2021Appointments seem to always be on schedule; the technicians are professional and friendly; and the new mammogram equipment is enormously more comfortable. All my questions were answered, and I received the results in the mail quickly. (Naturally, you can read them even sooner on your primary care physician's portal)
Dec 8, 2021I had a biospy done on December 7th and Miranda was my Technologist. I was very impressed with the way she explained everything to me and kept me calm. She went above and beyond her call of duty. I am very thankful that she was my nurse and I would recommend this place to anyone who is nervous about their procedure and need a friendly face. Also, I would like to thank Dr. Neely. He talked me through the process. I had a great team taking care of me and I am so grateful.
Oct 27, 2021I really enjoyed Kaitlyn this morning at The Durham Diagnostics Clinic in Durham for my mammogram..She was very friendly and professional. She made sure I was comfortable through my whole experience..Very thorough 😍
