In collaboration with Georgetown Hospital , PocketHealth grants you access to your medical imaging records, so you can proactively participate in your healthcare journey. This includes:
PocketHealth provides easy access to view, share and store your medical imaging records from Georgetown Hospital so you can get involved in your own care.
Access My RecordsPart of Halton Healthcare, Georgetown Hospital has 53 beds and an emergency department to support the surrounding community. It also offers a variety of medical services, including laboratory testing, mental health care, senior specialties, cancer treatments and surgical and diagnostic services.
The Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) covers most imaging services with a referral. However, some services may fall under the patient’s responsibility if they don’t meet the required OHIP criteria. It may be helpful to ask the imaging clinic in advance about any possible fees.
Georgetown Hospital’s imaging facilities typically send patient results to their referring physician within a week of the appointment, after their trained radiologists review them. For quicker access, you can use PocketHealth to easily view and share your results, often before your follow-up appointment.
To be covered by OHIP, most imaging services require a requisition or referral from a doctor. Some services may be scheduled without a referral, with the patient paying out-of-pocket. Also, the Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP) often does not require a referral for screening mammograms, so long as the patient meets the recommendation requirements.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a method that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to capture images of a patient’s internal structures and organs. The MRI machine temporarily moves the patient’s protons out of alignment. As the protons realign, the subsequent release of energy is measured by a computer and converted into images. Because MRIs use strong magnets, they are generally not recommended for patients with metallic implants.
CT (computed tomography) scans use multiple low-dose X-rays to produce detailed, cross-sectional images. These images are then combined to create a 3D scan that provides in-depth views of internal tissues and structures, such as bones and organs. CT scans are well-suited for quick imaging, and they don’t require patients to remain still for long periods. They are also a good alternative for patients with metallic implants who may not be suitable candidates for the magnetic properties of MRIs.
Overall, CT scans excel at showing bones and other aspects of the skeletal system, while MRIs provide better details of soft tissues, such as tendons, ligaments and muscles.
