In collaboration with Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital, PocketHealth grants you access to your medical imaging records, so you can proactively participate in your healthcare journey. This includes:
PocketHealth provides easy access to view, share and store your medical imaging records from Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital so you can get involved in your own care.
Access My RecordsOakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital is a full-service healthcare facility with 457 inpatient beds and a wide range of care services, including emergency medicine, diagnostic imaging, mental health programs and numerous outpatient clinics. As part of Halton Healthcare, the hospital is well-equipped to handle most patient needs, including complex and intensive care.
The Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) covers most imaging services with a referral. However, some services may fall under the patient’s responsibility if they don’t meet the required OHIP criteria. It may be helpful to ask the imaging clinic in advance about any possible fees.
Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital’s imaging facilities typically send patient results to their referring physician within a week of the appointment, after their trained radiologists review them. For quicker access, you can use PocketHealth to easily view and share your results, often before your follow-up appointment.
To be covered by OHIP, most imaging services require a requisition or referral from a doctor. Some services may be scheduled without a referral, with the patient paying out-of-pocket. Also, the Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP) often does not require a referral for screening mammograms, so long as the patient meets the recommendation requirements.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a method that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to capture images of a patient’s internal structures and organs. The MRI machine temporarily moves the patient’s protons out of alignment. As the protons realign, the subsequent release of energy is measured by a computer and converted into images. Because MRIs use strong magnets, they are generally not recommended for patients with metallic implants.
CT (computed tomography) scans use multiple low-dose X-rays to produce detailed, cross-sectional images. These images are then combined to create a 3D scan that provides in-depth views of internal tissues and structures, such as bones and organs. CT scans are well-suited for quick imaging, and they don’t require patients to remain still for long periods. They are also a good alternative for patients with metallic implants who may not be suitable candidates for the magnetic properties of MRIs.
Overall, CT scans excel at showing bones and other aspects of the skeletal system, while MRIs provide better details of soft tissues, such as tendons, ligaments and muscles.
