Alberta Health Services is terminating a contract that affects many radiologists at Calgary and Edmonton hospitals next year and the head of a group representing those who will be impacted says "the timing really couldn't be worse."

In a Canadian first, patients in Calgary are benefiting from the UroNav Fusion Biopsy System, which helps doctors better detect prostate cancer.

According to Dr. Kunal Goyal, department head of medical imaging at Regina General Hospital, the radiology department needs to hire four radiologists to be at full staffing capacity.

Alberta patients waiting for PET/CT scans may have to wait even longer than expected due to a mechanical issue with a machine that produces material required to perform the scans.
