For Patients

We are pleased to offer a walk-in service for X-rays and OPGs between 8:15 am and 5:15 pm, Monday to Friday.

If your medical practitioner has requested you have an X-ray or Orthopantomogram (OPG), please bring along your referral and medicare card between these hours and our team will be delighted to assist you, with no appointment necessary.

Should you require a CT scan, DEXA scan, Ultrasound, Echocardiography or MRI examination it will be necessary to make an appointment. Please call our friendly reception staff who will be more than happy to schedule a time for you, or our online Booking Portal is also available 24 hours a day for your added convenience.

X-ray

An X-ray (radiograph) is a technique that uses low dose radiation to create pictures of bones and other internal tissues such as your lungs and bowel.

CT Scan

Computerised Tomography (CT) uses an X-ray machine and advanced computer programs to create two and three dimensional images of your body.

MRI Scan

MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. MRI scans use a strong magnetic field and radiofrequency pulses to create high resolution images of selected anatomy and any relevant pathology or injury present with exquisite and precise detail.

Ultrasound

An Ultrasound scan uses high frequency sound waves to create pictures of soft tissues (eg. muscles, tendons, glands) and organs inside the body (eg. kidneys, liver).

Echocardiography

Echocardiography (echo) is the name given to the ultrasound examination of your heart. It assesses the structure and function of your heart muscle and valves.

It is a test in which high frequency sound waves are used to create a moving picture of your heart

Lung Cancer Screening

High St Xray is proud to be involved in the Australian Government’s National Lung Cancer Screening Program (NLCSP), which launched on the 1^stof July 2025.
This new screening program offers bulk billed, low-dose CT scans to past and current smokers, to support early detection of lung cancer and improve treatment outcomes, often before symptoms appear.

CT Calcium Score

CT Calcium score is a non-invasive test used to provide an estimation of the amount of coronary artery plaque a patient may have by identifying the extent of calcified coronary artery plaque using a CT scanner.

Bone Densitometry (DEXA)

Bone mineral densitometry is a scan which uses low energy X-Rays to measure the density of your bones. It is used to diagnose osteoporosis and assess your fracture risk. It is also used to monitor your bone density, especially if you are on treatment for osteoporosis.

Doppler Ultrasound

A Doppler ultrasound test uses reflected sound waves to see how blood flows through a blood vessel. It helps doctors evaluate blood flow through major arteries and veins, such as those of the arms, legs, and neck.

Oncology & Cancer Imaging

A fine needle aspiration (FNA) is used when more information is required about the significance of a lump or group of lumps within an area identified by a previous radiological examination.

Orthopantomogram

An OPG (or orthopantomogram) is a rotational panoramic dental X-Ray that allows the dentist to view the upper and lower jaws. It is a 2-dimensional representation of these.
