- Elastography: assessing liver tissue stiffness
CT scan
CT imaging at Qscan Redcliffe includes a wide range of specialised services such as coronary CT angiography for cardiac assessment, CT calcium scoring for heart disease risk, and CT Dentascan for detailed dental imaging. Scans are performed using low-dose, high-resolution technology to support clinical accuracy.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of internal structures, including the brain, joints and soft tissues. This non-invasive technique supports the diagnosis of a wide range of conditions without the use of radiation.
Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine studies use a small amount of radioactive tracers to assess the physiology or function of targeted areas of your body. It is commonly used to diagnose, treat or determine the stage of many diseases, including types of cancer, heart disease, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurological disorders and other abnormalities in the body.
OPG, Lateral & PA Ceph
OPG, Lat Ceph and PA Ceph x-rays are used in dental, surgical and orthodontic assessments. These scans provide clear images of the teeth, jaws and facial bones to assist with accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Interventional Radiology
Interventional Radiology uses minimally invasive image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat diseases in nearly every organ system including, but not limited to vascular, gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, genitourinary, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, and the central nervous system. These minimally invasive techniques provide minimal risk, improve health outcomes and overall recovery time. This also includes:
- EUXLFEXXA®, which are injections which help manage osteoarthritis pain in synovial joints, including the knees, hips and shoulders, by supplementing natural joint fluid to improve mobility and reduce discomfort.
DEXA Body Composition
DEXA body composition scans measure the distribution of lean muscle, fat, and bone mass. Commonly used for people who want highly accurate body composition information to assist with physical performance, metabolic health and obesity management.
BMD (Bone Mineral Densitometry)
Bone mineral densitometry scans assess bone mineral density to help identify conditions like osteoporosis and evaluate fracture risk. The scan is quick, low-dose and provides essential data for managing long-term bone health.
