Diagnostic Imaging Department
The Chapleau Health Services Diagnostic Imaging Department is modern and efficient. It has
recently joined the NORad partnership. This project uses digital radiology technology and high
speed networks to move diagnostic images and interpretations between community and regional
hospitals. The project takes advantage of the discovery of Computed Radiography (CR), and PACS
(Picture Archive and Communication System) the biggest innovations in the history of Diagnostic
Imaging Technology, the best possible diagnostic assessment), it also opens the door to fast,
accurate and secure transmission of images over data networks. Images and reports can be
transmitted to referring physicians, radiologists and emergency departments which allows for
image analysis and consultation among medical professionals across the region.
