What the Record Tells You
MRI Central Houston LLC, the trading name of American Health Imaging of Dallas LLC, is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 3301 South Shepherd Dr in Houston, Texas 77098. CMS issued NPI 1184620197 on 23 June 2005, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 19 June 2012. That was 14 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: Radiology clinic/center (261QR0200X). It registered as a radiology clinic without the MRI-specific code, so ask which modalities it operates before assuming an MRI is available.
Houston sits in the Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX metropolitan area (Harris County), which has 438 imaging-centre records on the Texas side in the September 2026 file, 75 of them with the MRI code, out of 1,450 across Texas. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Go Imaging Central (0.0 miles, Houston), Austin Radiological Association (0.3 miles, Houston) and West Loop MRI (0.5 miles, Houston), with 2 more within 0.8 miles.
For a cash-pay benchmark, our Texas freestanding-centre estimate is $500 to $1,400 for a typical single-region MRI. At Texas hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $236 to $10,390 for a brain MRI, median $2,190, from 125 of the 194 Texas hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 285 in the state, files dated to September 2026. 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 (713) 874-0111 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.
