Department of Diagnostic Imaging, Screening Mammography Clinic

Mammography is a safe and effective way to detect early signs of breast cancer, often before physical symptoms develop. Using low-dose X-ray technology, our clinic provides both Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP) services and physician-referred mammography for clients who do not qualify for OBSP. Screenings are performed by highly trained technologists and reviewed by LACGH radiologists.
