Qscan Windsor

X-ray

X-ray imaging is commonly used to assess bone fractures, dental issues, foreign objects in the body, and different illnesses or injuries. At Qscan Windsor, services include general diagnostic x-rays as well as ILO chest x-rays. Digital systems are used to capture clear images to support clinical diagnosis.

Ultrasound

At Qscan Windsor, we provide a wide selection of ultrasound services, all performed by our experienced sonographers and reviewed by specialist radiologists. Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to generate real-time images of the body’s internal structures, without the use of radiation. This makes it suitable for all patients, including children and expectant mothers.

Our services include:

• Pregnancy ultrasound: including dating, morphology, and growth scans
• Vascular ultrasound: such as DVT studies and carotid imaging
• Musculoskeletal ultrasound: to assess joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments
• Pelvic ultrasound: for gynaecological and abdominal imaging
• Elastography: assessing tissue stiffness

An appointment and referral are required for ultrasound exams. Bulk billing is available for eligible Medicare-covered scans.

CT scan

CT scans use x-rays and advanced computer processing to create highly detailed two and three dimensional images of your body. Available services include CT calcium scoring to assess heart disease risk, cone beam CT for focused head and neck imaging, and CT Dentascan for detailed dental assessment. All scans are performed using low-dose protocols.

MRI

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create clear, detailed images of the inside of your body. It is commonly used to assess the brain, spine, joints, abdomen and pelvis, among other areas.MRI does not use ionising radiation and is helpful in diagnosing a wide range of conditions.

Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear medicine uses small amounts of radioactive tracers to assess the physiology or function of targeted areas of your body. This 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 to assess the teeth, jaws and facial bones. These scans are commonly requested for orthodontic planning, oral surgery, and general dental assessment.

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. Services at Qscan Windsor include image-guided injections, biopsies and other targeted treatments. This also includes:

• EUFLEXXA®, which is a hyaluronic acid injection used to manage symptoms of osteoarthritis pain in synovial joints, including the knees, hips, and shoulders, by supplementing natural joint fluid to improve mobility and reduce discomfort.

Mammography

Mammography is used to examine breast tissue and can detect breast cancer before you show any visible signs or symptoms of the disease. Qscan Windsor offers both standard and contrast-enhanced mammography to support the evaluation of dense breast tissue and complex cases. Images are reviewed by specialist breast radiologists.

DEXA Body Composition

A dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) body composition scan uses advanced scanning technology to accurately measure the distribution of lean muscle, fat, and bone mass. This service is commonly used for people who want highly accurate body composition information to assist with physical performance, metabolic health and obesity management.

Bone Mineral Densitometry (BMD)

BMD scans are used to measure bone mineral density and diagnose osteoporosis and assess fracture risk, and are used to monitor bone density, useful for people being treated for osteoporosis. The test is quick and low-dose, helping clinicians monitor bone health over time and guide treatment decisions.
