Computed tomography (CT) is an advanced imaging system that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce comprehensive images of specific areas of your body, including your bones, chest, head, joints, lungs, and spine. CT scans give a much more detailed picture than regular X-rays and can identify many conditions that may escape detection on other imaging tests.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a strong magnetic field to provide very clear images of the body and is often ordered to help diagnose stroke, aneurysms, or multiple sclerosis. Using magnets and radiofrequency waves MRI can help find diseases of the brain, spine, skeleton, abdomen, and soft tissues.
CT and MRI exams are often ordered when more detail is needed based on results of other studies, when the cause of symptoms is unclear during a physical exam or when an asymptomatic patient has increased risk of certain disease. They can be performed on any part of the body.
Contrast is an injectable dye administered intravenously to highlight a specific area of interest, or directly into a joint (arthrogram). It can also be taken orally. Targeted body areas will absorb the contrast dye and will glow on the CT or MRI scan, allowing for a more detailed image. There is a risk of allergic reaction to the contrast agent, so you will be asked about your allergies and other medical conditions when booking your exam.
We do our best to have our radiologists interpret the information and forward the results to your doctor in a timely manner. Please consult with your doctor regarding your results and any follow up exams or questions.
In Calgary, CT and MRI exams are provided at our Mayfair Place location as private pay exams and are not covered by Alberta Health Care. Prices are per body area. If additional body areas are scheduled within the same appointment, discounts apply. For example, the abdomen is one body area, while the spine is divided into three body areas. We also offer CT Health Assessment packages.
In Saskatchewan, we provide MRIs as a publicly funded, community-based service under contract with the Saskatchewan Health Authority and as a private pay exam. Private MRI services in Saskatchewan are provided in accordance with and under the legislation of the Province of Saskatchewan. Pricing is per body area, similar to Alberta pricing (with similar discounts).
We offer a 10% Seniors discount (65+) that can be applied to the first exam.
Your health spending account or group medical insurance plan may cover the cost of a private CT or MRI that is prescribed by a qualified health care practitioner. You will need to check with your plan administrator for coverage details.
CT contrast is an additional cost of $125. MRI contrast is $250.
Please ensure that you bring your requisition with you to your appointment.
