• X-ray is offered on a walk-in basis. Appointments are not required.  Patients are required to have a requisition.
• Exam duration: 15 minutes.
• Technologists will not confirm broken bones or offer any diagnosis from the images even if the patient requests. Once a radiologist interprets the images, the results will be forwarded to the referring physician.
• If patients have mobility issues requiring a patient lift, we cannot perform those x-rays as we do not have patient lifts in our clinics.
• Scoliosis follow-up imaging should be done at the clinic and/or hospital location where the last exam was completed to get the most accurate measurements.
• X-rays are covered by the Alberta and Saskatchewan Health Care Plans except for immigration x-rays and those required for employment purposes.
• Immigration x-rays can only be requested by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) approved doctors.
  • Immigration x-rays are only performed at our Mayfair Place, South Calgary Health, The CORE, and Westbrook locations.
  • For applicants immigrating from New Zealand and Australia, these x-rays can only be performed at our Mayfair Place location.
  • Patients seeking an immigration x-ray will need to bring their immigration medical examination, unique medical identifier, or unique client identifier numbers to the exam. A passport or other government-issued photo identification, x-ray requisition, and provincial health card (if the patient has one), will need to be presented at the time of the exam.
  • There is a cost for immigration x-ray exams unless the patient has refugee status. Mayfair accepts Visa, MasterCard, debit, or cash.
