FAQ
We provide x-ray, ultrasound, and heart tests.
Most tests need an appointment as they may require special preparation or can take some time to perform. Many x-rays can be done without an appointment.
All tests that are covered under OHIP require a referral by a qualified health care provider. The referral is called a requisition.
Please call 905-953-9044 or email info@cvlab.ca. The requisition can also be faxed to 905-954-1113.

Most tests are reported in 24 hours. Urgent tests are reported immediately. Some tests can take up to 5 business days.
Our staff will advise you on preparing for the tests. You can also look at the back of our requisitions for details or go to the Preparations section on this site.
The person doing the tests cannot tell you the results of your tests. Tests require interpretation which is performed by our physicians.
Can I receive a copy of the report? Can I have the report sent to more than one health practitioner?
Yes, you can receive a copy of the test or access your patient portal to view the report and the images online. You can ask to have it sent to another health practitioner. When you register for your test, please inform the receptionist.
You can bring your child, but you will need to have someone look after them in the waiting room. We do not have child care facilities.
We try to do the tests as gently as possible. Please tell the technologist doing the exam if you experience any discomfort; they will try to modify their technique.
