Multi Slice CT Scanning

Multi Slice CT Scannin Computerized Tomography (CT) sometimes called a CAT scan, uses special x-ray equipment to obtain images from different angles around the body, and then uses computer processing to show a cross-section of the body, including bones and organs.

The CT scan does not replace plain X-rays, but gives additional information with greater detail.

General X-rays

General X-rays Although most general examinations require no preparation and take only a few minutes to complete, some procedures are more involved and require specific resources.

If you have a request form from your doctor or other healthcare professional please call our reception staff or visit our clinic as you may not need appointment for your test.

OPG/Lat Ceph

OPG/Lat Ceph At Whittlesea Medical Imaging, we provide lead gowns for patients undergoing all x-ray tests. An Orthopantomogram, or OPG, is a special type of x-ray looking at the lower face that displays both the upper and lower teeth in a long flat line. It demonstrates the number, position and growth of all your teeth including those that have not yet surfaced.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound What is ultrasound?
Diagnostic ultrasound uses high frequency sound waves to produce images of organs, tissues and blood flow within the body. An ultrasound transducer (often referred to as a probe) is used to generate the sound waves that lead to the final images on the screen.

Bone Densitometry

Bone Densitometry Bone densitometry, also called dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry or DEXA, uses a very small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body (usually the lower spine and hips) to measure bone loss. It is commonly used to diagnose osteoporosis and to assess an individual’s risk for developing fractures. DEXA is simple, quick and noninvasive. It’s also the most accurate method for diagnosing osteoporosis.

This exam requires little to no special preparation. Tell your doctor and the technologist if there is a possibility you are pregnant or if you recently had a barium exam or received an injection of contrast material for a CT or radioisotope scan. Leave jewelry at home and wear loose, comfortable clothing. You may be asked to wear a gown. You should not take calcium supplements for at least 24 hours before your exam.
