Whitefoot X-ray SNOW Trailer at Big White

The Whitefoot Clinic is proud to confirm accreditation from the Diagnostic Accreditation Program (www.dap.org) for x-ray services at Big White.  The Spirit of New Orleans Whitefoot (SNOW) Trailer was purchased from New Orleans in 2007.  The trailer it served as the on-site X-ray facility at the Superdome following Hurricane Katrina.  Built in 2003 with a construction cost of over $100,000 USD, it is a fully self contained general duty digital x-ray facility with a GE generator, full on-site image acquisition and processing, including PACS on a self contained image server (OSIRIX).  This allows diagnositic quality images to be available to the patient and their physicians anywhere in the world.  Direct access to the images (including diagnostic quality dicom files and high resolution jpg files) is provided to the patient over our online Patient Health Record (interiorhealth.net).


Whitefoot Clinic is a private medical facility, not a publicly funded one.  Our services are not payable by the Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC, or other Provincial Health Care Plans.  All x-rays are read by Dr. S. Bhalla, a dual Canadian Certified Specialist (Radiology and Emergency Medicine).   Costs are covered by most travel insurance plans and are about $200 per set of x-rays.
