Valley Health Announces Expansion of Medical Imaging Services at Spring Mills Facility

Valley Health is excited to announce the expansion of medical imaging with the addition of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) services at Valley Health | Spring Mills, located at 120 Campus Drive, Martinsburg, WV 25404. The facility began accepting patients for these services on May 5, 2025.

MRI is a non-invasive imaging technology that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues within the body. CT, on the other hand, utilizes X-rays to produce cross-sectional images of the body, providing detailed information about bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues.

As the first outpatient advanced imaging location in the Eastern Panhandle, this addition will provide physicians and patients with quicker access to essential diagnostic tools. The availability of outpatient MRI and CT services is crucial for timely and accurate medical diagnoses.

Outpatient imaging centers offer cost savings to patients, as they do not incur the full expenses associated with hospital resources and staff. This often results in lower costs for imaging visits compared to those conducted within a hospital campus.

The MRI and CT machines at the Spring Mills facility are state-of-the-art models made by Canon and incorporate AI and machine learning technology to enhance imaging capabilities.

"Valley Health is committed to bringing state-of-the-art technology to the Eastern Panhandle and has invested years of planning and work by our talented team, along with several million dollars to open outpatient CT and MRI in the Eastern Panhandle, highlighting our dedication to enhancing healthcare access and quality in our region," said Jake Meza, Vice President, Operations, Ambulatory, Post-Acute and Community Services. “We’re particularly excited about the benefits this will bring to patients and our physician community, especially to our specialists such as orthopedics, surgery, neurology and more.”

In addition to MRI and CT, the Valley Health | Spring Mills facility offers a range of other imaging services, including:

• Ultrasound
• Vascular Ultrasound
• Mammography
• X-ray
• DEXA Scan
• Echocardiogram

The addition of MRI and CT to Valley Health | Spring Mills has been multi-year effort, requiring significant work from elected officials to expand access to advanced imaging in the Eastern Panhandle.
