Canberra Imaging Group - Erindale

Welcome to Canberra Imaging Group - Erindale, located at Grattan Court in Wanniassa, Australia. As an establishment dedicated to health, we are a point of interest in the medical imaging field. At Canberra Imaging Group, we pride ourselves on offering the best service and the latest technology.

With 10 convenient locations across Canberra and NSW, we are a comprehensive medical imaging service. Our facility is equipped with 4 modern Siemens MRI systems, allowing us to provide comprehensive examinations of various body systems including the brain, skeletal system, musculoskeletal system, gastrointestinal system, endocrine system, central nervous system, prostate, and breast.

Using low dosage x-rays, our computed tomography (CT) scans produce a volume of data that can be displayed as cross sections or slices in multiple planes. This volumetric data can also be used to create 3-dimensional images, providing ultimate flexibility with fields of view ranging from Ø8x8 cm to Ø11x8 cm. Our CT scans are performed with Planmeca Romexis® implant planning software, offering large volume views that include 3rd molars as a standard feature.

We also offer PET/CT (positron emission tomography/computed tomography) scans, which are extremely sensitive imaging procedures that show the chemical function of an organ or tissue from the PET scan, combined with the structure from a conventional diagnostic CT.

Our DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorption) Bone Densitometry method is used for measuring bone density and diagnosing osteoporosis. Early detection and treatment of osteoporosis significantly decrease the risk of fractures.

CIG also provides integrated SPECT/CT systems, allowing both functional and anatomic data to be obtained in a single imaging session. This branch of medicine uses radiation to provide information about the body's anatomy and functioning of specific organs, enabling physicians to provide quick and accurate diagnoses of conditions such as thyroid disorders, heart disease, and bone fractures.

Ultrasound, which uses high-frequency sound waves, is another service we offer. Our skilled sonographers use a "transducer" placed on your skin to generate sound and receive echoes from structures inside your body.

Mammography plays a key role in the early detection of breast cancer. This technique uses X-ray imaging and compression of the breast tissue to obtain clear images and gather information about various breast conditions.

Angiography, a specialized diagnostic imaging procedure, involves threading a small flexible tube called a catheter into an artery or vein, usually in the groin area. A contrast dye is then injected to examine the desired area.

Our operating hours vary by day and service, ensuring flexibility for our patients. On Mondays to Thursdays, MRI services are available from 7:00am to 8:40pm, X-Ray from 8:30am to 5:30pm, CT from 8:40am to 5:00pm, Ultrasound from 8:30am to 5:00pm, and Nuclear Medicine from 8:15am to 5:00pm. On Fridays, MRI services are available from 7:00am to 4:40pm, while the other services have the same operating hours as Mondays to Thursdays. On Saturdays, MRI services are available from 8:00am to 3:30pm, CT from 8:30am to 1:00pm, Ultrasound from 8:30am to 1:00pm, and X-Ray from 8:30am to 1:00pm.
