Radiology Information for all Australians

“InsideRadiology” is a resource produced especially for health consumers.
It contains information about radiology tests and procedures that provides consumers (patients, carers, potential users of radiology) and referrers (general practitioners, specialists and other health professionals) with accurate, up to date information.

All information items have been written by radiologists or other health professionals who are experts in their field and edited by a team of specialised consumer writers to ensure they are as easy as possible to understand.

If you are unsure or have concerns about any aspect of a test or procedure, please discuss your concerns and the information item with your health care provider.

You can even print the information to take to your doctor, or share the information item with a friend who might find it useful.
