Additional Information:
Nuclear medicine uses radiation to provide information about the body's anatomy of the functioning of specific organs. The information enables physicians to provide a quick and accurate diagnosis of conditions such as thyroid disorders, heart disease and bone fractures.
The tests are painless and most scans expose patients to only minimal amounts of radiation and provide an effective means of examining whether some tissues are functioning properly.
Therapy using nuclear medicine is an effective and safe way of controlling, and in some cases eliminating, conditions such as overractive thyroid, thyroid cancer and arthritis.

Additional Information:
Fine needle biopsy is a diagnostic procedure used to investigate superficial (just under the skin) lumps or masses. In this technique, a thin, hollow needle is inserted into the mass for sampling of cells that will be examined under a microscope.
Fine needle aspiration biopsies are very safe, minor surgical procedures.

Additional Information: Bone Densitometry is a method used for measuring the density of bone and diagnosing osteoporosis. If osteoporosis can be detected and treated early, the risk of a fracture as a result of osteoporosis is decreased significantly.

Additional Information:
Computed tomography (CT) uses low dosage x-rays to produce a volume of data that can be displayed as cross sections (slices) in multiple planes. This volumetric data may also be used to produce 3 dimensional images.
The images can be digitally manipulated in order to display tissues of varying density from lung to bone. Any part of the body may be imaged using CT.
CIG provides low dose multislice CT services at all of our locations.

Additional Information:
Myelography involves an x-ray examination which produces images of your spinal cord and spinal nerves after a contrast (or dye) is injected into the fluid within the spinal column.
Myelography can assist in diagnosing specific abnormalities such as herniated discs, spinal canal narrowing and tumours.

Additional Information: Barium tests are used to examine conditions of the digestive tract such as reflux, narrowing or ulceration. Tests include the barium meal or barium swallow and barium enema. Barium is a white, radio-opaque powder that allows the organs of the digestive system to show up during x-ray. The images are generated using an x-ray process called fluoroscopy.

Additional Information:
MRI is a non-invasive medical scanning technique that provides images of the inside of the human body with a high degree of detail and accuracy.
The MRI scanner consists of a large magnet that forms a short tube. A coil is placed around the area of the body to be examined which acts as an antenna for the radio waves.
The patient lies on a table that slides into the magnet at the start of the scan. During the scan, loud knocking noises are heard due to the rapid switching of magnetic fields. To help reduce the noise level, headphones are provided with the option of having music played through them.
Scan times vary between 20 minutes and 60 minutes.

Additional Information:
Angiography is a specialised diagnostic imaging procedure where a catheter (small flexible tube) is threaded into an artery or vein, generally in the groin area. An Interventional Radiologist threads the tube using an x-ray monitor as a guide. When the catheter has reached the area to be examined a contrast (dye) is injected.
The contrast clearly outlines the blood vessels and enables the Interventional Radiologist to see any irregularities or blockages. The images taken are called angiograms.

Additional Information: Mammography plays a key role in the early detection of breast cancer. 3D mammography exams, now at Canberra Imaging Group, help to eliminate most detection challenges with 2D mammography. Breast tissue is examined layer by layer with the x-ray arm sweeping in an arc over the breast, taking a series of images at various angles. To ensure radiation exposure is within recommended guidelines, very low X-ray energy is used during the procedure. At Canberra Imaging Group mammography is followed by ultrasound of the breast, which increases the accuracy of the diagnosis.

Additional Information:
Ultrasound refers to the use of high frequency sound waves (too high for humans to hear) to produce images.
The sonographer places a transducer on your skin which both generates the sound and receives echoes from structures inside your body. Computers and advanced software then convert the echo information into the image you see on the screen.
Most people may know that ultrasound is routinely used to monitor different stages of pregnancy. However, ultrasound can give valuable diagnostic information about many other parts of the body and disease processes. This includes imaging of abdominal organs, muscles and other organs.

Musculoskeletal injections are a broad range of injections that are used predominantly to treat pain.
These injections are performed using imaging guidance so that a needle may be placed either into a joint, or the surrounding soft tissues, such as tendons, tendon sheaths, muscles and bursae.

Additional Information:
A thyroid scan shows the size and shape of the thyroid using a radioactive tracer. It also looks at the overall function of the thyroid.
Patients will then be given an injection of a radioactive tracer by a qualified Nuclear Medicine technologist, there are no side effects from the injection.
The patient will have to wait 10-20 minutes after the injection and will be asked to lie down on the scanning bed and images of your thyroid will be taken.
