About Canada Diagnostic Centres

Formerly known as Western Canada MRI Centres, Canada Diagnostic Centres opened its doors in Calgary as the first non-hospital private MRI in Western Canada. In the following fifteen years, Western Canada MRI Centres expanded into affiliated locations in Mississauga, Toronto, Hull, Vancouver and the company adopted the new name Canada Diagnostic Centres.

With nine dedicated radiologists and over 75 technologists, Canada Diagnostic Centres services now range from private MRI and CT to publicly covered 4D Ultrasound, Mammography, Bone Densitometry, Fluoroscopy, Pain Management injections and X-Ray.
