One of the problems for most private clinics is being able to provide patients and referring Health Practitioners with the images obtained from a visit to an outpatient Diagnostic Imaging Clinic.

We are the first private Diagnostic Imaging Clinic in Canada to be integrated with our local hospital through its Picture Archive and Communication System (PACS). This means that any image produced at Owen Sound Medical Imaging is available to any physician at any of the hospital sites of Grey Bruce Health Services in Owen Sound, Markdale, Meaford, Southampton, Wiarton, and Lions Head through the PACS at GBHS. Similarly, any examination performed at any of the sites of GBHS is visible at Owen Sound Medical Imaging. We have a robust and fast internet connection that allows us to communicate with GBHS.

Therefore, we can help in reducing the long lines and waits for patients attending out-patient orthopedic clinics at the hospitals, by performing these examinations one or two days before your clinic appointment at the hospital. Your images will be of the same high quality as the hospital images, and will be fully visible to your surgeons in the hospitals at the time of your orthopedic clinic appointment.
