X-Ray
X-Rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation (low dose) which can penetrate the body to form an image on film. All X-Rays at ViaMedica Radiology require a referral from a doctor and are a walk-in service – no need for a scheduled appointment.
Bone Density
The bone densitometry machine (DEXA) is used to determine the bone density of the body. It is a quick, simple, safe and painless exam. A doctor referral and a scheduled appointment is required.
Mammography
Mammography is an x-ray of the breast that uses low doses of radiation. ViaMedica Radiology offers diagnostic mammograms which are a key element in the diagnosis of breast cancer. A doctor’s referral and a scheduled appointment is required.
Echocardiogram
An echocardiogram is an ultrasound (high-frequency sound waves) of the heart which illustrates a graphic outline of the heart’s movement/activity. A doctor’s referral and a scheduled appointment is required.
“Got an appointment same week I called. Receptionist very efficient and helpful. Lot of clients she had to process that morning. MRI technician very patient and friendly. Results after weekend came in two days. Parking lot full...so lucky someone left as I arrived. Might indicate where washrooms are more clearly.”
“Incredible service from the start to the end. I went for a spinal MRI because I was dealing with terrible back pain. I emailed the clinic and received a response with an appointment the same day. The receptionist was kind and organized, the technician was efficient and even lowered the table and got me a stool to help me climb up onto the bed. The gown I was given was clean and smelled like it was freshly laundered. I received my results within 36 hours. Make sure you ask to have the results sent to you as well as to your doctor.”
