Diagnostic Imaging

Staff:

• Ottawa Hospital and Region Imaging Associates (OHRIA)
• Amanda Dumas, Department Manager
   

Our department will process requisitions for x-rays, ultrasounds, mammography and bone density, regardless of where the physician who ordered your test is located (in Bancroft, Pembroke, Renfrew, etc.). Once the test is completed, we will provide the physician with a written report. If you prefer to have your testing done locally, please inform your physician.

All exams must be ordered by a physician and you will be required to present your health card and your physician signed requisition upon arrival.

PACS

The purchase of Picture Archiving Communitcation System (PACS) in the 2006 fiscal year has enabled the department to have a direct link with the Radiologists in Renfrew and Ottawa. Although the Hospital absorbs the high cost of PACS, enhancement in patient care has been recognized through enhancement of our medical staff resources. Allowing us to secure more radiologists in other areas. Also allowing for immediate response for early diagnosis.

Diagnostic Imaging includes X-Ray, Ultrasound, OBSP/Mammography and Bone Mineral Density.
