Diagnostic Imaging

The hospital boasts a state of the art imaging department. Both x-ray and ultrasound are offered. Two experienced technologists registered in both professions are available around the clock. Appointment waiting time is usually one week and urgent exams are fit in right away. Exams presently offered are general x-ray, ultrasound of OB/GYN, abdominal, and small parts with colour flow Doppler enhancement. The technologists have recently completed basic Doppler and Breast Ultrasound courses. The department is on the PACS system. All examinations are sent to a radiologist group in Burlington. Reports are sent to our printer within 2 days of the exam, often on the same day. Verbal reports are also available. With the PACS system it is possible for specialists at receiving hospitals to view images for consult. A new Philips x-ray unit is now installed and a new portable machine completes the modernization of the department.

The Geraldton Medical Group practice is located in a new facility, The Northern Horizon Health Centre that is immediately adjacent to The Geraldton District Hospital.

A fully computerized charting system, six exam rooms, one procedure room with state of the art equipment all support our professional requirements.
