ABOUT THE PRACTICE
Full-Service Diagnostic Imaging in Zona Río
Alpha Diagnostic Imaging Center is a dedicated radiology and diagnostic imaging practice located in Tijuana’s Zona Río district — a few minutes from the Hospital Ángeles corridor and approximately 20 minutes from the San Diego border crossing. The center offers a broad range of imaging modalities under one roof, from standard X-rays and ultrasound to MRI, CT scanning, bone densitometry, and mammography.
The center is led by Dr. Abril Rodríguez, a radiologist with subspecialty training in breast imaging and mastology, who completed advanced training at the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología (INCan) — Mexico’s federal cancer institute and one of Latin America’s leading oncology centers. This subspecialty background makes Alpha particularly well-suited for breast imaging referrals, including mammography, breast ultrasound, and ultrasound-guided biopsy procedures.
For US and Canadian patients, Alpha Diagnostic offers a practical and cost-effective solution for imaging studies that would otherwise require a US radiology appointment — with same-week availability and self-pay pricing substantially below US rates.
Subspecialty Breast Imaging
Dr. Rodríguez trained at the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología and subspecializes in breast imaging and guided biopsy.
Broad Imaging Modality Coverage
The center covers X-ray, ultrasound (obstetric, pelvic, abdominal, Doppler, thyroid, and urological), MRI, CT, bone densitometry, mammography, and upper GI series.
Zona Río Location
Located on David Alfaro Siqueiros in Zona Urbana Río, Alpha is situated within Tijuana’s main medical corridor.
Self-Pay Imaging Pricing
The center operates on a private-pay model with transparent pricing — a practical option for US patients whose insurance won’t cover out-of-network Mexico imaging.
