Ultrasound
At Qscan Southport, we provide a full range of ultrasound services, all carried out by our experienced sonographers and reviewed by specialist radiologists. Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to capture real-time images of the body, without exposing patients to radiation. This makes it a great option for people of all ages, including children and pregnant women. 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
Please note, ultrasound exams require both an appointment and a referral. We offer bulk billing for Medicare-eligible scans.
CT-Scan
CT services at Qscan Southport include both routine and advanced imaging, such as CT calcium scoring for heart disease risk. Each scan is performed using low-dose, high-resolution technology for clinical accuracy.
PET-Scan
At Qscan Southport, we offer advanced PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scanning to help diagnose conditions like cancer, neurological disorders, and heart disease. This non-invasive imaging technique provides detailed, real-time images of the body’s metabolic activity, allowing for early detection and precise treatment planning. With cutting-edge technology and a focus on patient comfort, Qscan Southport ensures a smooth and efficient experience, delivering accurate results to support your healthcare journey.
MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive technique that produces high-resolution images of internal structures. It is widely used in the assessment of soft tissue injuries, brain and spinal conditions, and abdominal or pelvic pathology.
Nuclear Medicine
By tracking how the body processes radioactive tracers, nuclear medicine scans provide valuable insights into organ function and cellular activity. These tests are commonly used to investigate conditions affecting the skeleton, cardiovascular system, and endocrine glands.
Interventional Radiology
Procedures like joint injections, spinal interventions and biopsies are performed under imaging guidance to ensure accuracy. This approach, known as interventional radiology, allows for precise targeting with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue.
- EUFLEXXA® injections, a form of interventional radiology help manage osteoarthritis pain in synovial joints, including the knees, hips, and shoulders.
EOS Spinal & Body Imaging
EOS imaging provides low-dose, full-body scans in a natural standing position, ideal for assessing spinal alignment and lower limb conditions. It captures both 2D and 3D images simultaneously, supporting accurate planning for orthopaedic and spinal care.
I have just completed my PET scan at Southport clinic. David introduced himself, with a smile, and asked me if I'd had a PET scan before. He explained the procedure. The care and understanding of a patients anxiety prior to a procedure was second to none. David made sure I understood each step of the procedure.
While waiting to move to the second stage, I was in a room with a recliner chair, warm blanket, TV. Post procedure, I was given a token to take next door to the coffee shop for Coffee/ toasted sandwich. What a wonderful experience. Thankyou Qscan.
I would give this clinic a 10 out of 10. The entire team demonstrated exceptional warmth, knowledge and professionalism throughout my care. I felt supported, respected and genuinely looked after from start to finish. Their calm and compassionate approach made a challenging procedure feel far more manageable than I expected. I’m very grateful to everyone involved and would highly recommend this clinic.
My first visit here & I found the receptionists to be helpful & friendly, the radiographer couldn’t have been more caring & didnt rush me. The Dr giving my injection was the same. Very caring & informed me of what was to happen.
Both introduced themselves immediately upon seeing me. A very professional group of people who still have warmth & kindness. I highly recommend this branch,
The staff in the clinic itself were absolutely lovely. My technician was hilarious and front of house staff were lovely. My issue is though that once again the booking agent booked the wrong scan. I drove two hours each way to come and do this scan and they were not able to do it. They just did another of the same scan I’ve already had. I am very disappointed by the bookings team. I waited a long time to get this appointment because she said it was a long scan and would need to be booked further ahead. Yet somehow still booked the wrong scan. Now to get the correct scan I need to be admitted but that isn’t possible before my follow up with the specialist. This is not about Southport staff this is not their fault - it is their bookings team. This happened to me about two years ago with Qscan as well. Booked the wrong scan despite me sending the form and reading the entire thing out to them. 7 hours today to not get anywhere and just redo a scan I’ve already had - doubling the radiation exposure.
