X-Ray

Referring a Patient

A completed Diagnostic Imaging requisition form must be completed by a physician for patients to be referred for an x-ray at Mackenzie Health.

Please ensure the requisition form includes the referring physician’s information and signature, patient information, patient’s clinical history and reason for referral.

To obtain a copy of the requisition form, visit the referral and consent forms page. Physician offices can fax a patient requisition form to 905-883-2043.

How do I prepare for my X-Ray?

Depending on your x-ray, some patients may be advised to change into a hospital gown.

What do I need to do the day of my visit?

Please ensure you bring a valid health card with you along with  the signed requisition form from your physician.
