A2 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday October 2, 2002 On-site MRI should cut lengthy waiting lists at OTMH (Continued from page A1) wait times for patients in Oakville," said Health and LongTerm Care M inister Tony Clement. , "We thank the Minister for his decision to support the provision of MRI services for Oakville. The demand for this state-of-theart diagnostic service far exceeds the current supply," said Oliver. "Access to this vital diagnostic service will enhance our ability to provide for the medical needs of our community in a manner consistent with the standard of care across the province, as close to home as possible." "MRI is an invaluable tool used in ruling out a host of sus pected diseases and conditions, most importantly detecting can cers of various body systems, neurological conditions, such as C ryrv\e NO CHARGE ifc e * ^ o w lc e ' Immediate Delivery multiple sclerosis, cardiac diseases and muscu loskeletal disorders," said Dr. Thomas Knapp, Chief of Diagnostic Imaging at HHS. "It facilitates in providing the referring physician accurate diag noses without having to subject patients to unnec essary invasive surgeries and other less appropriate diagnostic tests." "Having an MRI at OTMH, will help alleviate the long waiting lists we are currently experienc ing," said Knapp. "In addition, we will now have the capacity to provide on-site MRI scans for our trauma, emergency and inpatients." "A second MRI scanner in the Halton Region r will mean an immediate increase in the total num ber of MRI examinations annually," said Knapp. "It will facilitate more accurate and timely diagnoses, and more appropriate and earlier medical interven tion. Ultimately, this translates into a higher quality of care." Designation of an MRI at OTMH is in response to a submission by Halton Healthcare Services in 2001. The MRI will be located adjacent to the existing Diagnostic Imaging Department, directly across from the new Women's Diagnostic Centre. Work is now underway to select the MRI equip ment for the OTMH site. 2 0 0 3F o rdWindstar" * Family Entertainment Centre. Includes colour monitor, removable VCR, 2 head phones, rearseat controls.
