X-ray Comes to Big White
The Whitefoot Clinic can now take digital x-rays. This will allow them to treat most injuries locally. Patients will also be given images with other physicians all over the world for second opinions or further treatment.
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.
