What the Record Tells You
Southwest Diagnostic Imaging Center is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 2425 West Loop S in Houston, Texas 77027. CMS issued NPI 1033613682 on 20 March 2018, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 20 March 2018. That was 8 years ago, so treat the phone number and suite as unverified until you have spoken to someone there.
The record carries one imaging taxonomy code: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) clinic/center (261QM1200X). The MRI-specific code means the organisation registered itself as a magnetic resonance imaging centre, the strongest signal the registry gives that a scanner is on site. It also holds one other taxonomy code (2471M1202X).
Houston sits in the Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX metropolitan area (Harris County), which has 396 imaging-centre records on the Texas side in the August 2026 file, 75 of them with the MRI code, out of 1,325 across Texas. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Insight Imaging & Diagnostics LLC (0.6 miles, Houston), Chopra Imaging Centers, INC.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Texas range is $500 to $1,400 at freestanding imaging centres and $1,700 to $5,100 at hospitals for a typical single-region MRI. Published hospital cash prices in Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands run from $230.91 (Harris Health Ben Taub Hospital) to $20,243.66 (HCA Houston Healthcare Northwest) for a brain MRI without contrast, from the hospitals' federal transparency files. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (281) 999-7281 with the CPT code for your scan and ask for the self-pay rate, whether the radiologist's report is included, and the scanner's field strength.

What to ask when you call
- The self-pay price for your exact CPT code (70551 brain, 72148 lumbar spine, 73221 or 73721 joint, without contrast), and whether the radiologist's report is included.
- Scanner field strength (1.5T or 3T) and whether it is closed, wide-bore or open.
- ACR or IAC accreditation, and who reads the images. The registry cannot tell you either.
- Whether they accept an order from a telehealth referral if you have no local doctor.
