Specialist Radiology + MRI Greenlane (SRG)

MRI scans only are done outside of these hours. If you are having an MRI scan please go to Level 3. For ultrasound and x-ray please go to Level 2.

Description

Specialist Radiology and MRI Limited (SRG) is a radiologist-owned practice with an excellent team of radiologists, MRI technicians, radiographers, sonographer and reception staff available to cater for common and specialised radiology procedures.   

We specialise in:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (3 Tesla MRI)
  • X-ray
  • Musculoskeletal Ultrasound including steroid/ autologous blood injections/ calcium aspiration
  • Musculoskeletal Intervention, such as nerve root injections (cervical and lumbar), epidural and facet joint injections, joint injections/ aspirations, arthrography.

We have installed a Philips MRI 3.0 Tesla scanner which produces high quality images of unsurpassed resolution.  The advantages of 3 Tesla MRI are particularly evident in the diagnosis of disorders of the spine, pelvis, vascular and musculoskeletal systems.

Radiological procedures are used for looking at the internal structures of the body, whether bone or soft tissue. Usually these examinations are carried out to:

  • diagnose disease states, such as cancer or heart disease
  • show the extent of injury to body structures
  • aid in interventional procedures to help with pain relief.
The radiologist may use different methods such as X-ray, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound as well as some other specialised types of radiological imaging.

We work closely with Orthopaedic Surgeons and other Specialists to ensure high quality imaging is performed, thus avoiding the need to repeat examinations.

 
Our Staff
  • Medical Radiation Technologists (MRTs) or Radiographers perform your X-ray examination and MRI scans.
  • Sonographers perform your ultrasound examinations.
  • Radiologists are specialist doctors who read and understand your films. They interpret the results of the images and send reports to your doctor.

Referral Expectations

Referrals are required for all radiology procedures, either from a General Practitioner or a specialist.

You can ring us on (09) 523 7054 to make an appointment for an ultrasound, but we can take patients on a walk-in basis for X-ray.  You may, however, have some special preparation for your scan or X-ray, so check with us or your doctor about this. For more contact information and driving directions, visit our website.

MRI scans require specialist referral and SRG have a dedicated MRI team to manage MRI appointments and scans.  Fax, e-mail or post us your referral form and our MRI staff will then call you to make a time for your scan.

We accept referral forms from all radiology providers.

Procedures / Treatments

  • 3 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

    An MRI machine does not work like an X-ray or CT; it is used for exact images of internal organs and body structures.  This method delivers clear images without the exposure of radiation.… More

  • X-ray

    An X-ray is a high frequency, high energy wave form.  It cannot be seen with the naked eye, but can be picked up on photographic film.… More

  • Ultrasound

    In ultrasound, a beam of sound at a very high frequency (that cannot be heard) is sent into the body from a small vibrating crystal in a hand-held scanner head.  When the beam meets a surface between tissues of different density, echoes of the sound beam are sent back into… More

  • Interventional Procedures

    Interventional Radiology procedures are minimally invasive and performed using real-time image guidance such as ultrasound or video x-ray.… More

Travel Directions

Please note: We are not at the Ascot Hospital.

At the lights on Greenlane East, turn into Ellerslie Racecourse Drive, then right around the roundabout into Ascot Avenue. Continue past the racecourse entrance (the Novotel Hotel will be on your right, the blue gates to the racecourse on your left). Look for the building with the 'Bodytech' sign on it.

After leaving the roundabout and entering the upper car park area, turn left, drive between the parked cars and the building and then right down the ramp to the underground car park. Only park in the spaces marked 'Medical Centre' or you may be towed. You will find these spaces in the closest right corner as you enter the car park.

Take the lift to level 2 for X-Ray and Ultrasound, level 3 for MRI. Underground parking is available in the basement to the left of the main entrance.
