Diagnostic Imaging
Diagnostic Imaging Services provide a noninvasive method of looking inside the body to help determine the cause of an injury or illness. D.I. is located in wing B, level 1 close to the Emergency Department and next to patient registration. All D.I. patients require an appointment, must present with a signed requisition, and register at the main reception desk for their appointment.
NGH Diagnostic imaging is made up of four modalities:
Computed Tomography (CT) uses 360 degrees of radiation to produce cross-sectional images or “slices” of the body. For CT bookings please fax all requests to 519-429-6892. To contact the CT department please call 519-426-0130 ext:2219
Mammography is a specialized imaging technique that uses low-dose radiation and gentle compression to capture detailed images of breast tissue, helping with early detection and diagnosis.
To book a Mammogram:
- Please fax all booking requests to 519-429-6992

Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP):

Radiology (X-ray and fluoroscopy): uses radiation to create “plain films” or stationary images and fluoroscopy is an x-ray in “real-time” like a video or movie. Please fax all requests to 519-429-6992. To contact radiology please call 519-429-6974.
