Diagnostic Imaging Clinic Renovations in Ontario

Diagnostic imaging is at the core of healthcare — this unique technology is expertly utilized by medical professionals to provide accurate patient diagnoses and design a necessary course of treatment according to symptoms exhibited by patients and the additional information that scans and x-rays reveal.

As a healthcare facility, a diagnostic imaging centre has specific construction requirements that account for storage and access to specialized equipment, the setup, and sanitation of specific treatment rooms, and other spatial restrictions that must be put in place to maintain the health and safety of patients and medical staff alike.

Diagnostic imaging clinics are among the most regulated clinics in Ontario and require the most attention and care during the planning, design and renovations process. When relocating your IHF license, trust MedPros to help you renovate your new clinic as per the strict requirements on the Ministry of Health & Long-Term Care and the Independent Health Facilities (IHF) act. From completing relocation applications to creating floor plans for x-ray rooms, we do it all.
