Diagnostic Imaging

We have an excellent team of Diagnostic Imaging staff whose commitment to excellence continues to be an important factor in the successful delivery of quality and friendly service. Our team is made up of radiologists, medical radiation technologists, sonographers, nurses and clerical staff. Our department is also affiliated with Mohawk College/McMaster University for the training of radiology students. This affiliation helps to foster an excellent learning environment through the students' exposure to a wide variety of procedures.

  As we continue our commitment to service excellence for our community, we will require that all diagnostic mammogram and breast ultrasound requisitions be sent to the department prior to scheduling the appointment. For all referrals, please fax the completed requisition to 905-681-4830 or submit electronically through OCEAN. Please note, this does not include OBSP referrals, which can be booked over the telephone.
