You deserve the care you give everyone else
Women care for everyone in our lives. But who is caring for you? Our women’s medical imaging services support early detection, and proactive health checks, caring for you when you need it.
Cardiac Awareness
Anyone can have heart disease. Many heart diseases can be treated and managed effectively.
But for treatment to work, you need a diagnosis.
Are knee and shoulder scans covered by Medicare?
If you’ve been referred for knee or shoulder scans you may find that only some are covered by Medicare. We understand that you may feel confused or frustrated if faced with unexpected out-of-pocket costs, especially when you’re already dealing with pain or limited movement and just want answers.
Lung Cancer Awareness
Lung cancer is one of Australia’s most common and deadliest cancers, but early detection can make a life-changing difference. At Sunshine Coast Radiology, we’re committed to raising awareness about the importance of lung health and encouraging at-risk Australians to take action through early screening and regular check-ups.
Why are some MRIs Bulk Billed and Others Not?
If you’ve ever wondered why some MRI scans are bulk billed while others aren’t, you’re not alone. Many Australians find this confusing, especially when one person’s scan is completely covered by Medicare but someone else must pay something out of pocket. The answer lies in how the Australian Government funds MRI services through Medicare, and it all comes down to eligibility, regulation and fairness in service access.
Understanding osteoarthritis and joint pain relief
Arthritis is a common reason people visit their doctor, especially as we age. Arthritis describes a group of over 100 conditions that affects joints causing pain and stiffness. Each type of arthritis can affect you and your joints differently. Osteoarthritis in one of the most common forms of arthritis.
Why do you need a referral for an x-ray or scan?
If you’ve ever wondered why you need to see your GP or specialist before getting an x-ray, scan or imaging-guided procedure, you’re not alone. It can feel like an extra step, but referrals are a legal requirement in Australia under the Radiation Safety Regulation 2021, Schedule 6. These rules exist to protect you and to make sure you receive the most appropriate, accurate and effective care.
