Radiology imaging second opinion service.

You may have received a scan or x-ray which is critical for the management of your health. However the study may have been mis-interpreted or the report may be inadequate, without you knowing.

A 20-year literature review in 2001 suggested the level of error for clinically significant ormajor error in radiology is in the range 2-20% and varies depending on the radiological investigation 

About Us

RANZCR certified radiologists in Australia

We are a group of experienced AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) registered radiologists here in Australia who cover the breadth of sub-speciality areas.

We are able to review the images and report, answering any specific questions and adding any details which may have been omitted. It is important that this new information is relayed back to your treating doctors as it may have important implications for your care.

The pricing quoted reflects the complexity of the case. The cases are usually reviewed in the radiologists own time and there is no Medicare rebate applicable, thus the cost which is involved.

Please email support@scancheck.com.au if there are any questions. 

Once reviewed and approved, we will email you details of the process and discuss how we can get access to your images :

1) we will give you another link to a secure online form where you can outline any further important information and sign consent.

2)quote the cost of the review

3) payment link ( for payment through PayPal, prior to completion of your review.)

 The cost of the Scan Check is also outlined in the approval email, depending on complexity (basic review is $250). 

Through the online form you can submit your medical & surgical history, and any additional information, such as symptoms or previous reports. This can be critical for us to determine  the correct diagnosis. 

Upload or Transfer Scans

All x-rays and scans are now digital and are stored on the PACS system of the practice or business where you were imaged. They may have given you online access to the images as a patient. 

If your scan is suitable for review we will advise whether we can get access to your images as your imaging review specialist.

If we do not have access we will outline the process for you to upload them manually to our system.  

Scans reviewed & reported

The scans are assigned to one of our sub-specialised doctors who will review your information & analyze your images. 

The report can then be securely transferred through to your doctors patient database.

Our radiologists can be available to discuss the results with you via telehealth system at a cost.

Fill out our 'case information form' to ensure it is suitable.

Once you have ‘registered’ via the snapforms link you will be emailed with a secure form to outline your case details and upload instructions for your scan. This process is designed to ensure security of your information and prevent hacking of our website.
