THE OAKVILLE BEAVER Friday, October 1,1999 NEWS AND INFORMATION FROM HALTON HEALTHCARE SERVICES Women's Diagnostic Services Has your physician just ordered a mammogram and bone density test for you? Are you also having an ultrasound? Are you thinking you'll have to make separate trips for all these tests? Physician referrals for mammography, bone density and ultrasound testing at Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital can be coordinated to avoid returning another day for extra tests. And... it's now possible to book a mammogram or bone density test on the same day you call for an appointment. Thanks to the arrival of our new, state-of-the-art equipment, our waiting lists for mammography have virtually disappeared. Patients requiring additional follow-up tests, or callbacks, are seen immediately in order to relieve unnecessaiy anxiety. The Mammography Program at O TM H is fully accredited by the Canadian Association of Radiologists. This accreditation status indicates that the O TM H Dl Department meets the required standards established by the Association, which includes the availability of qualified radiologists and certified mammography technologists. Appointments may be made through the Diagnostic Imaging Booking Desk: - 338-4601. Please advise our staff if you are booking more than one test so that we may help you co-ordinate your appointments.
