Radiology patient information site launched
The first ever comprehensive patient information site about radiology procedures http://www.insideradiology.com.au has been launched, to help the people for whom a radiology procedure may be a frightening prospect.
The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR) has launched the website to give Australians free access to world class, up-to-the-minute, web-based information about radiology tests and procedures in layperson’s language.
There were more than 16 million medical imaging procedures performed in Australia last financial year.
Now all those needing an X-ray, radiology procedure (such as joint injection) or a scan can access information about why their doctor ordered a particular test or treatment, what will happen when they have it, how they need to prepare for it and if there will be any after effects.
