Book Your MRI Scan
at U3T MRI Centre

Step 1

Fill Out Your Requisition

The requested exam should be discussed with your physician. You will need a referring physician on the requisition who will receive your MRI results. He or she will assist in your follow-up care and management. If you do not have a family physician or specialist, you can use Telus MyHealth to obtain a virtual physician.

Step 2

Book Your Scan

Once your requisition is completed, our radiologist will review and confirm if an MRI is appropriate based on your clinical history. We can then call to confirm the pricing for the scan and discuss an appointment time that works for you.

Step 3

Arriving for Your Appointment

Your MRI appointment is scheduled at the U3T MRI Centre, located within the University of Lethbridge in the Community Centre for Wellbeing (CCW), 4401 University Dr W, Lethbridge, Alberta.
