Founded in 1983

A legacy of innovation

University Diagnostic Institute (UDI) is the oldest and most respected imaging center in the Tampa Bay area. This premier outpatient medical imaging facility was founded in 1983 on the campus of the University of South Florida, down the street from USF Morsani Clinics and H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center.

It was the first specialized high-tech medical imaging center in Tampa.  The first out-patient Magnetic Resonance Imaging Center in the Tampa Bay area, beginning operations in 1984.   Since then, the original MRI scanner has been upgraded.  We currently have to two, 1.5 Tesla MRI Scanners, joined by a 3.0 Tesla MRI sophisticated and advanced medical imaging scanner.

Our state-of-the-art facilities

Equipment accredited by the American College of Radiology

There are two MR machines located on site, both operating at the highest field strength useful for human imaging. One of our machines, a General Electric Horizon model, functions at the echo-speed level necessary for functional brain imaging, ultra-fast scan times, vascular imaging, MR cholangiography, and other cutting-edge MR applications. The new machine also has an extremely large central bore which significantly decreases the claustrophobia reported by many patients.

In fact, it is often possible to avoid having to perform a less-detailed, low-field strength "open" MRI; a more detailed high-field strength scan can now be obtained on claustrophobic patients with this new machine.
