Diagnostic Imaging

The Diagnostic Imaging department provides service to all clinicians within The Medical Centre and welcomes patient referrals from other Clinicians in the community.

We are a modern digital imaging facility, providing x-rays, mammography and General Ultrasound services using PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications System) for storing and retrieving images. We are then able to provide patients with access to their images using our “Patient Portal Access” for viewing by a Specialist outside of The Medical Centre.

We provide diagnostic Mammography along with Ontario Breast Screening exams.
