In collaboration with Georgina Health Centre, 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 Georgina Health Centre so you can get involved in your own care.
Access My RecordsEstablished in 2011, the Georgina Health Centre offers a variety of health services under one roof, including family medicine and diagnostic imaging. As a satellite clinic of Southlake Regional Health Centre, imaging reports done at Georgina are sent to Southlake, where experienced radiologists read and interpret the scans. This allows patients to receive care within their own community while still benefiting from the expertise of a larger medical facility like Southlake.
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.
Georgina Health Centre’s imaging facilities typically send patient results to their referring physician within a week of the appointment, after the radiologists at Southlake Regional Health Centre 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.
