Angiography uses x-rays and a detector to take real time images, like a movie.  The doctor introduces a very small tube into the blood vessel and injects contrast through the tube, allowing the blood vessels to be seen clearly on the images. This can be done for any blood vessels in the body of which there are a few descriptions below. 

The images of your blood vessels guide the doctor in diagnosing and treating a variety of illnesses. These may include angioplasty (ballooning), tumour treatment and treatment of other diseases involving blood vessels.

Payment options: fees apply, bulk billing available for eligible patients.

CT Scan (CAT Scan):
   Computed Tomography  uses x-rays to take images inside the body. It is similar to a    plain x-ray however it takes lots of pictures of a section (cross sections) of your body which are then made into 3D images.

You may be asked to drink a special liquid or be given an injection of x-ray dye for your scan.

The scanner has a round opening in the centre and a flat bed for you to lie on. While you are lying on the bed, it will slowly move you into the opening where the pictures are taken. The movement is controlled by the CT staff.

Multi-slice CT scans are reliable, fast and non-invasive. They can be used to show body parts in detail such as the brain, lungs, bones, abdominal organs and blood vessels.  
Payment options:  fees apply, bulk billing available for eligible patients.

Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) is an imaging procedure showing the chemical function of an organ or tissue from the PET, and the structure from a conventional diagnostic CT. PET/CT is an extremely sensitive test for detecting the early stages of disease and can show abnormalities even in the absence of structural changes. Small amounts of tumour may be found using PET/CT, even if they are undetectable by other imaging procedures, which can have an important impact on choosing the best treatment option. PET/CT information can be used to determine what combination of surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy is most likely to be successful in managing your cancer. PET/CT can also help to monitor the effectiveness of therapy and assist planning for surgery and radiation therapy.

An Angioplasty is similar to an angiogram. The local anaesthetic is used just as for the angiogram, then a plastic tube called a sheath is inserted into the artery, this has a valve on the end and is used for inserting other catheters and soft wires. 

The area of the blood vessel that is narrowed is identified and then a special catheter with a balloon at the tip is inflated over the area, this squashes the plaque against the blood vessel wall and by doing this makes the narrowed area wider again, allowing a better flow of blood down the artery.

Limbs, renal, dialysis fistulas, loops and stent insertion.

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.
