Prostate Imaging

According to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia, almost 3,300 Australian men die because of prostate cancer each year and around 20,000 new cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed in Australia every year. That means that one in 9 Australian men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime. Prevention, early detection and effective treatment all decrease the likelihood of death from cancer.

South Coast Radiology perform several services for diagnosis and staging of Prostate related imaging, including Multiparametric MRI, Ultrasound, PSMA PET/CT and Lutetium Therapy.

Cardiovascular Imaging

The term cardiovascular disease is used to describe disease affecting the heart or arteries, which could lead to heart attack, stroke and blood vessel disease. Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of deaths in Australia. Men are twice as likely as females to be affected by coronary artery disease. South Coast Radiology offers a full range of medical imaging services for diagnosing cardiovascular imaging for screening and diagnosis.

Scrotal Ultrasound

Ultrasound imaging of the scrotum provides valuable anatomical and pathological information about the testes, epididymis and scrotum using high-frequency ultrasound, which is safe and painless. Ultrasound is typically used to assess the cause of pain, swelling, infertility or a palpable lump. In babies and infants, ultrasound can search for undescended testes.

Sudden onset of pain in the scrotum is a serious condition that should be investigated immediately to rule out testicular torsion, when the spermatic cord twists and reduces blood supply to the scrotum. Testicular torsion requires immediate surgery to avoid any permanent damage to the torted testis.
