What can I expect at my ultrasound appointment?

You will normally need to make an appointment for an ultrasound examination.  You may be questioned about your symptoms to ensure the correct type of examination is performed.  The time taken and preparation required is dependent upon the type of scan requested.  Ultrasound examinations can be complex and may take up to two hours.  The duration of the scan is not an indication to the presence of an abnormality.  The preparation needed for your ultrasound examination will be given to you when you make your appointment.

What does a Radiographer do?

A radiographer is an important member of the diagnostic health care team. They are responsible for producing high quality medical images that assist medical specialists and doctors to diagnose or monitor a patient's injury or illness.

Radiographers need to show care, compassion and empathy to their patients. Whilst the role is highly technical, radiographers focus their efforts on patient care and welfare to ensure positive patient experiences. The radiographer works in a highly advanced technical profession that also requires excellent people skills. It is an exciting and rewarding profession to be a part of.

Radiographers have an extremely thorough understanding of the structure of the body, how the body can be affected by injury, and causes and effects of disease when taking X-ray images.

There are state and federal regulations governing safe work practices and radiation safety within all X-ray departments and private imaging clinics. 

What does a Nuclear Medicine Technologist do?

Nuclear medicine technologists operate cameras that detect and map the radioactive drug in a patient’s body to create diagnostic images. After explaining test procedures to patients, technologists prepare a dosage of the radiopharmaceutical and administer it by mouth, injection, inhalation, or other means. They position patients and start a gamma scintillation camera, or “scanner,” which creates images of the distribution of a radiopharmaceutical as it localises in, and emits signals from, the patient’s body. The images are produced on a computer screen or on film for a physician to interpret.
