What We Offer
Support and expand the services you provide by working with our expert sub-specialty radiologists.
MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging is one of the most modern, safest and gentlest methods of detecting pathological changes in organs inside the body without the use of X-rays.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to study anatomical structures and does not involve radiation. We offer abdominal, pelvic, vascular, paediatric, musculoskeletal, obstetric and small-part examinations.
Digital X-Ray
Two-dimensional image acquisition of the body's internal organs or bones. Our top-of-the-line digital X-ray system has low-dose detectors to minimise radiation exposure.

Each examination depends on the type of test ordered. With MRIs some examinations are only 20 minutes while others can be an hour. Each scan takes between 2-5 minutes and some tests need more scans than others. We want to make sure that the picture is clear, which is all dependent on how still the patient lays. At YARRA Radiology, we will always aim to do the examination as fast as possible to make patients feel comfortable.
In order to receive sedation, you must have someone attend the examination with you who can drive you home. The person driving must also sign a consent form and be present when the patient begins the scan.
After receiving sedation – please be aware that you will not be able to operate any heavy machinery, drive, or make any important legal decisions for the remainder of the day. Even if you think the sedation has worn off, it is still in your system so we need you to wait 24 hours.
