Changes to Diagnostic Imaging Services
As we prepare for the construction of the CT unit at AGH, there will be some temporary changes to our operations starting this Friday April 19th, which marks the beginning of this construction.
X-Ray Services:
The X-ray room will remain operational and unchanged however, volumes may be higher than normal and thus may affect walk-in wait times.
Ultrasound Services:
An ultrasound room will be set up temporarily just outside the main lobby.
We are moving closer to having renovations complete to move ultrasound into its new permanent location in the very near future.
Please note that during this transition period, patients needing X-ray and ultrasound services will still register via the Emergency entrance.
Patients will remain in the ER waiting room starting from Friday April 19th until the end of construction. We are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for both our team and our patients.
We will keep you updated with any further developments and changes as we progress through this transition. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this time.
