Second opinions & scan review

Another set of
experienced eyes.

A scan performed elsewhere can be read again. Our radiologists review imaging from other centres and provide an independent written opinion - an additional perspective for you and your treating doctor.

When it helps

Reasons patients and doctors ask for a re-read

  • The report and your doctor's clinical picture don't quite agree
  • A finding is described as indeterminate or unclear
  • A significant treatment decision rests on the imaging
  • Your doctor wants a subspecialty read of a complex study

How it works

  1. 01

    Bring your study to us

    Bring the films or CD and the original report to the centre - with your doctor's notes if available. Call ahead and we'll confirm what's needed for your particular study.

  2. 02

    A radiologist re-reads it

    The study is reviewed independently and in full, drawing on subspecialty experience relevant to the examination.

  3. 03

    You receive a written opinion

    A clear, structured second-opinion report for you and your treating doctor. Timelines are shared when you hand in the study.

A second reading adds perspective; it does not replace your treating doctor's advice. Wherever possible we send our opinion to your doctor as well, so the conversation stays joined-up.
