Cardiac Imaging
Cardiac disease is the number one cause of death in Australia, but it’s easily treatable once diagnosed. Cardiac imaging is vital to Australian healthcare.
CT Scan
CT scans are used to image bone, blood vessels and soft tissue, meaning they are useful in diagnosing a wide range of conditions including tumours, fractures, internal injuries and more.
MRI
MRI detects tumours, neurological disorders, digestive concerns and more by creating detailed images of soft tissue, the brain, spine, heart, nerves, and joints.
Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine uses a radiopharmaceutical and imaging equipment to capture how your bodily systems are functioning.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound can accurately capture images of foetuses, organs, muscle tendons and joints, and blood vessels, helping in diagnose issues in those areas.
X-Ray
X-rays are useful for diagnosing a range of conditions including broken bones, lung problems, dental issues and some tumours.
