The ribbon has finally been cut at Specialist Radiology Kingswood as the clinic celebrated its launch last week.
Federal Member for Lindsay Melissa McIntosh performed the honour and highlighted how important clinics like this one are.
Specialist Radiology Kingswood is a prestige clinic that prides itself on delivering exceptional care, maintaining the highest professional standards and offering specialised services tailored to the local community.
Located on the ground floor of the Somerset Specialist Centre in Kingswood this clinic has cutting-edge technology to ensure all clients are given expert and swift care.
Specialist Radiology Kingswood offers a range of services including 3T MRI, general x-ray, CT scans, injections and biopsies and OPG.
The clinic offers both general x-rays and orthopantomogram or ‘OPG’ x-rays as noninvasive methods of medical imaging while providing valuable insights into the body’s structures. X-ray is a safe form of radiation which will produce clear images of bones and soft tissues which can assist in diagnosing various conditions. OPG produces a two-dimensional view of the face and includes teeth, gums and bones assisting in diagnosis.
The 3T MRI is cutting edge technology which is ideal for patient comfort and optimal image output. This machine uses a magnet twice as potent as a standard MRI machine to produce clear, high-quality images of organs and soft tissue. The machine can also provide scanning of the brain, spine and musculoskeletal conditions and can detect smaller abnormalities than a traditional MRI. Utilising ground-breaking artificial-intelligence software, the 3T MRI will reduce the scan time for the patient but will maximise client comfort and deliver the highest quality images.
Ultrasounds use gentle sound waves to create images of the soft tissue in the body. This is a non-invasive technique used to examine the abdomen, pelvis (including OBGYN), blood vessels and musculoskeletal soft tissue in patients.
CT scans create detailed, computer-generated images of specific parts of the body. This procedure will sometimes require a contrast medium to be injected to enhance the visibility of certain structures including body and cardiac angiograms. Specialist Radiology Kingswood also offer guided interventional procedures using CT scans, these precise procedures target specific areas and are overseen by a specialised radiologist.
The injection and biopsy procedures include cortisone injections which are designed to reduce inflammation, CT-guided Facet Joint Injections which can be effective treatment for alleviating pain caused by facet joint arthritis or instability and CT-guided nerve root injections which can be a helpful treatment option for patients experiencing symptoms of sciatica.
The clinic is led by medical imaging experts who are committed to ensuring their clients’ wellbeing through personalised and high-quality diagnostics and will provide unwavering support every step of the way.
Easy and convenient doctor and patient access to imaging is a key reason why Specialist Radiology Kingswood stands out from other clinics.
