Interventional Radiology
Radiology is a medical speciality that uses imaging modalities such as ultrasound, CT scanning and MRI scanning, to diagnose disease.
CT Scanning
CT (Computed Tomography) scanning is a quick method of scanning that involves lying on a table which moves through a circular gantry with a rotating x-ray beam.
MRI Scanning
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a scanning technique that uses a high powered magnetic field and radio frequency waves to produce exquisitely detailed images.
Ultrasound scanning
Ultrasound scanning uses high frequency sound waves to form an image of whatever part of the body is being scanned.

A general practitioner (GP) referral is always desirable but is not essential and you can be seen for a consultation or scan without a referral. It is recommended that Dr. Crowe communicates with and shares results with your GP but this is only done with your consent. It is worth noting that if your treatment is being covered by private health insurance a GP referral may be a condition of your policy and this is something you would need to check with your insurer when seeking pre-authorisation.
Consultations and scans can usually be arranged within a week to tens days depending on the exact type of scan and preferred location. Dr. Crowe’s practice manager, Lisa, can advise on the earliest available appointment options. Ultrasound, CT and MRI scans can usually be arranged within 7-10 days depending on location. Bookings for day case or in-patient procedures can usually be arranged within 2-3 weeks depending on the preferred location and bed availability. Medically urgent procedures can always be arranged at short notice as required.
Telephone and video consultations are available. Many with busy lifestyles appreciate these options and they are particularly convenient for patients living some distance from our centres or overseas. Dr. Crowe’s practice manager, Lisa, can advise on availability.
No. Although the majority of patients are covered by private health insurance, either personal or through their employer, increasing numbers are choosing to self pay and costs are often less than anticipated.
