Imaging a brighter future

The more we can see, the better we can diagnose — and heal. That vision means many different things at MSH. Last year,* the Carlo and Angela Baldassarra Family Centre for Diagnostic Services (DI) performed 258,741 diagnostic exams; however, that number is just part of the story. Thanks to donor support, MSH has invested in state-of-the-art tools for DI. Today, clinicians are seeing patients with greater clarity, capturing more detail in each image, and helping detect issues with greater precision.

“When our Diagnostic Imaging department opened, it had two ultrasounds, three X-ray rooms, and one CT scanner. Today, we have 14 ultrasounds, seven X-ray rooms, three CT scanners, two MRIs, plus our Nuclear Medicine, Mammography, and Interventional Radiology divisions. We’re now among the best-equipped imaging departments in Ontario.” —Dr. Mitesh Mehta, Chief of Diagnostic Imaging

This next-generation technology provides sharper 3D imaging and advanced analytics for earlier and more accurate diagnoses of cancer, heart disease, bone disorders, and other conditions.
