Why we exist
If you've ever been booked in for an MRI, CT or ultrasound, you'll know how many questions come with it. Is it safe? Will it hurt? Do I need to fast? What will it cost? Most of the information online is either written for doctors, or is generic, unsourced content that doesn't reflect how imaging actually works in Australia.
RadiologyScan exists to fix that — with clear, accurate, locally relevant answers you can actually use before a scan.
How we're different
- Plain English. Written for patients, not clinicians — no jargon, no fluff.
- Australian. Built around Medicare, the MBS, ARPANSA and RANZCR — not overseas systems.
- Sourced. Every key figure is anchored to an authoritative source and kept consistent across the site.
- Clinically reviewed. Every article is reviewed by a practising radiologist (FRANZCR) before publishing.
Our review model
Each article is written and edited by the RadiologyScan editorial team, then clinically reviewed by a practising radiologist (FRANZCR). Our reviewers are not named individually — clinicians often prefer not to be publicly identified on consumer health sites, including for professional and AHPRA advertising reasons, and we respect that. The review is real, and the review date is shown on every article. You can read more in our editorial & medical review policy.
Who we're for
RadiologyScan is for patients, carers and anyone trying to make sense of a scan. It is general information, not personal medical advice — it's designed to help you have better-informed conversations with your own doctor and imaging centre, never to replace them.
