Find the closest MRI or CT scan in Ontario with the shortest wait.
Enter a postal code, pick MRI or CT and adult or child, say how far you'll drive, and see which hospitals near you are faster. Every number comes live from Ontario Health.
Ontario Health publishes this data, but its site is built for performance reporting: long tables by region and measure. This one answers a patient's question instead: where can I get this scan sooner, and how far is it?
"Recommended" is not the shortest wait. It trades driving against waiting: every
MINUTES_PER_DAY (2) minutes of extra drive counts as one more day of wait, so somewhere
half an hour further has to save about 15 days to win. Shortest wait and Nearest give
the plain orders.
The wait shown is the mean days for Priority 4 (non-urgent) scans.

- Distances are straight-line from the postal code, converted to a drive time at 80 km/h.
- Ontario Health returns no phone numbers, so each hospital links out to Google Maps.
