Diagnostic Services

What makes CMH’s Diagnostic
Services Distinct?

As the backbone that supports patient care in all other programs at CMH our Laboratory and Diagnostic Imaging (DI) Department plays a vital role in the diagnosis and treatment of illness and disease. With a growing group of radiologists, pathologists, and technologists, we utilize a wide range of high-tech equipment such as Analysers, MRIs, CT Scans, Ultrasound, Microscopes, X-rays, and Nuclear Medicine to image, analyze, assess, consult, diagnose and treat a wide variety of health issues. Access to the latest equipment that provides the best image clarity and accuracy is a necessity for our high-demand and busy Diagnostic Imaging and Laboratory Services Programs.
