To schedule outpatient testing (MRI, CT, Ultrasound, Mammogram, etc.), please call Central Scheduling at (269) 789-3915, opt 2. You must have an order and a copy of the order must have been sent to scheduling prior to your call. Orders can be faxed to (269) 789-3971.

For added convenience, X-ray services are available at all Oaklawn Express Care locations, providing walk-in access to imaging close to home. Patients may bring a physician’s order or be evaluated by an Express Care provider, who can determine whether an X-ray is needed and place the order on site.

Patient Shielding
We have stopped using patient shielding and will no longer place lead aprons or gonad shields over you during your x-ray, CT, or Fluoroscopy exam.
Technological and procedural improvements have eliminated the need for the radiation protective apron. Additionally, many years of research have shown that radiation exposure used in modern diagnostic x-ray exams is less harmful than originally thought.
These studies have also shown that shielding patients carries the risk of using more radiation than not using shielding and could cover a body part that the doctor needs to see.
For patient safety, experts on x-rays agree that patient shields should not be used.
