Computed Tomography (CT)

Hours of Operation:
Monday to Friday
8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.

• CT uses a pencil-thin X-ray beam to take detailed pictures inside the body.
• CT can be used to study all parts of the body.
• From CT images, colourful three-dimensional pictures of organs can be created.
• CT may or may not require a contrast injection

General Radiography (X-ray)

Hours of Operation:
Monday to Friday
8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.

• X-rays are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging.
• X-rays use small amounts of radiation to produce images of bones and internal organs.
• It’s non-invasive and helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions.

Interventional Radiology

Hours of Operation:
Monday to Friday
8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

• Interventional radiology offers some of the most minimally invasive, targeted treatments available.
• It uses X-rays, Ultrasound, CT and other imaging to advance a catheter in the body.
• IR treatments allow for lower risk, less pain, and shorter recovery time.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Hours of Operation:
Monday to Friday
7:00am – 11:30pm
Saturday and Sunday
7:00am – 00:00am

• MRIs produce pictures of the body using powerful magnets and radio waves.
• MRI is a non-invasive procedure.
• Blood flow and organ motion can be measured with MRI.
• Unlike CT or PET scans, MRI does not use radiation to take an image.

Molecular Imaging (Nuclear Medicine)

Hours of Operation:
Monday to Friday
8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

• Nuclear medicine uses small amounts of radioactive material, called radiopharmaceuticals, to aid diagnosis.
• The radiopharmaceutical emits energy from the body, which is picked up by a Gamma Camera.
• It’s safe and typically non-invasive.

Ultrasound

Hours of Operation:
Monday to Friday
8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

• Ultrasound uses sound waves to see the inside of the body in real-time.
• It allows examination of organs, soft tissues and blood vessels.
• Common uses include examination of the uterus, liver, thyroid, heart—the list goes on!

Breast Imaging

Hours of Operation:
Monday to Friday
5:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

• Mammography is a specialized medical imaging test that uses a low-dose x-ray system to see inside the breasts
• A mammography exam, called a mammogram, aids in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women and men. This is also the case with a Breast Ultrasound, but using sound waves instead.
• Sinai Health is proud to be an Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP) center
