PET-CT imaging suite
Diagnostic Imaging & Technology

Clear answers.
Carefully planned care.

Our imaging team helps patients and specialists understand what is happening, prepare for the next step and make informed care decisions.

Imaging with Purpose

Every examination starts with a clinical question.

Imaging technologist reviewing diagnostic images in control room

Imaging may support screening, diagnosis, staging, treatment planning or follow-up. The care team selects an examination according to each patient’s clinical needs.

01
Detect & investigate Create detailed views that help clinicians examine a concern.
02
Stage & plan Understand location and extent to support coordinated planning.
03
Guide & monitor Support treatment planning and assessment over time.
How Imaging Supports Care

One connected pathway, centred on the patient.

From the first clinical question to a care decision, each stage provides information the clinical team can use.

01 START

Clinical question

The referral defines what the care team needs to understand.

02 SELECT

Examination

The appropriate modality and protocol are selected.

03 ACQUIRE

Imaging

Images are obtained with attention to safety and quality.

04 INTERPRET

Specialist review

Findings are assessed and communicated through the care pathway.

05 DECIDE

Care decision

The results help inform the appropriate next step.

06 SUPPORT

Cancer Support

Symptom control, comfort, quality of life and continuous patient support.

Preparing for Your Scan

Know what happens before you arrive.

Appointment and modality-specific instructions always take priority because preparation differs by examination and clinical need.

BEFORE YOUR VISIT

Be prepared for your appointment.

Keep your appointment letter, referral information, identification and relevant medical details together.

BRING WITH YOU Appointment letter Identification Medication information Relevant previous imaging
01
Referral reviewed The request and clinical question are checked so the examination can be planned.
02
Follow your instructions Preparation may differ for fasting, medicines, clothing, hydration or arrival time.
03
Confirm safety information Tell the team about relevant conditions, allergies, implants, devices and recent imaging.
04
Scan & specialist review The examination is completed and findings move through the referring care pathway.
Your appointment instructions take priority. Contact the imaging team if any preparation instruction is unclear or if your circumstances change.
