Imaging services

In order to be submitted to imaging or examinations, you will need a doctor’s referral.

You can access the imaging services if you have received an imaging appointment from your treatment unit or if you have made an appointment yourself.

If you can’t make it to your appointment, please call to cancel. Otherwise, you will receive an invoice and be charged for the appointment.

In public health care, a doctor’s referral is always required for imaging examinations. Private service providers also offer imaging services without a referral.

Imaging can be used to assist in the examination of illnesses and monitoring treatments. Imaging includes X-rays and CT scans, MRI and ultrasound scans, thermal imaging, and isotope analyses. Vital functions, such as sleep, alertness, or the brain’s electrical activity, can also be imaged.

Imaging is performed by hospitals, health and social services centres, and private service providers. Some images can also be taken at home and forwarded to the correct party.
