Your doctor may recommend medical imaging to investigate symptoms, assess an injury, monitor a condition or support your ongoing care. At Vcare Radiology, you can access a range of imaging services from our Epping clinic, with information available to help you understand what to expect before your appointment.
Different imaging examinations provide different types of information. The most appropriate examination depends on your symptoms, medical history, and the clinical question your doctor or healthcare practitioner is investigating.
You do not need to decide which scan you need yourself. Your referring practitioner can recommend the appropriate examination and provide the required referral.
