Mayfair Diagnostics is pleased to announce that our newest clinic, located at 440, 12024 Sarcee Trail NW in Beacon Heights is now accepting medical imaging appointments. Just off Sarcee Trail between Sherwood Boulevard and 112 Avenue, the clinic is easy to get to and has ample free parking.
Beacon Heights is a fast-growing area, and Mayfair is eager to support the community by providing much needed local medical imaging services.
Mayfair Diagnostics Beacon Heights will be offering bone density, breast imaging, ultrasound, and X-ray services beginning April 1, 2024. To book, you can call our central booking number at 403-777-3000. You will need an imaging request from your health care practitioner in order to book an exam. X-ray services are walk-in only.
Convenience is an important factor in helping ensure patients can access the medical services they need, when they need them. This is especially true for medical imaging services like mammograms or bone density exams which work best when they are performed at regular intervals.
Beyond the convenience, not having to travel further into Calgary for ultrasound, mammography, and bone mineral densitometry medical imaging exams has numerous other benefits for patients at Mayfair Diagnostics Beacon Heights.
Bone mineral densitometry is a low-dose X-ray exam that measures bone density to determine the risk of fractures or osteoporosis. This exam is often first ordered at around age 50 and then subsequent exams may be recommended every two years. Since measurements can vary between machines, repeat tests must be taken on the same machine, or a new baseline will be needed. Having a local clinic that offers this service will make it easier for patients to regularly check their risk for fractures.
Mammography uses specialized X-ray technology to take a series of images (mammograms) of the breasts and provide a detailed look at the internal structure of breast tissue. The best way to detect breast cancer early, when it’s most treatable, is through regular screening mammograms. Your Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan covers yearly mammograms starting at age 40. Having regular mammograms allows a radiologist to compare your images from year to year, identifying changes that may be occurring in the breast over time.
Mayfair’s mammography services in Beacon Heights use the latest technology – the GE Senographe Pristina Dueta mammography system, which is designed to increase patient comfort and reduce anxiety. With Pristina the patient is offered the option to use a handheld remote control, called patient-assisted compression. Under the guidance of the technologist, you are able to adjust the level of compression. This allows you to play a more active role in determining the best level of breast compression, making for a positive mammogram experience. A positive experience, along with local convenience, ensures you are more likely to return for regular screening, which is the most effective way to catch breast cancer early.

Ultrasound uses high frequency sound waves to examine the organs, tissues, and blood vessels of the body for abnormalities that could be associated with your symptoms or physical condition. Mayfair sonographers have received additional sub-specialty training to allow them to better perform a wide variety of ultrasound exams, including a full range of imaging for expectant mothers through each stage of pregnancy.
Many ultrasound exams have directions for drinking water or fasting before an exam, so not having to travel large distances with a full bladder allows for a more comfortable experience.
The clinic is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday. Parking is free and is located near the front entrance of the clinic, within the plaza.
