Vision Radiology staff watched on as a new 5.5 tonne MRI scanner was lifted into their Shepparton clinic recently. After anxiously watching the weather radar, the weather gods blessed them with a window to remove the roof of the clinic.
The delicate operation was a six-hour process which saw many people working together. Between builders, transport specialists, crane technicians, electricians, plumbers, the Siemens and Vision Radiology team the process was seamless.
Vision Radiology is Shepparton’s newest medical imaging provider offering a wide range of services including ultra-low dose CT scans, Ultrasounds, X-ray, Bone Density, Cardiac CT, and Dental imaging. MRI scans are used by doctors to diagnose and monitor numerous medical conditions such as cancer, stroke, trauma, and sporting injuries.
Vision Radiology is an independently owned and operated radiology group with clinics across Regional and Metropolitan Victoria. The skilled team aims to make their services accessible to all in their local communities by extending bulk billing for most of their services, including interventional procedures.
“The arrival of our new MRI scanner is extremely exciting. This state-of-the-art equipment will enhance the comprehensive services we offer. This will be a significant boost to local health services and will give people in our community greater accessibility, speeding up the process to diagnose a problem,” said consultant radiologist, Dr David Serich.
