Taranaki Radiology was established in January 2016 and is focused on technological excellence, timely access and professionalism throughout the patient imaging experience.
Our promise is to provide our patients with the right examination for the right reasons giving you and your referrer the best quality information about your health.
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
to aid in interventional procedures, such as angiography.
The radiologist may use different methods such as, X-ray, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound as well as some other specialised types of radiological imaging.
The Team
Medical Radiation Technologists (MRTs) or Radiographers perform your X-ray, barium and mammography examinations.
Sonographers are MRTs who perform your ultrasound examinations.
Radiologists are specialist doctors who read and understand your films. They will also be involved if you have an intravenous urogram (IVU), barium study, mammogram and a number of other ultrasound procedures. They interpret the results of the images and send them to your doctor.
