Your imaging deserves a senior sub-specialty radiologist.

ScanCheck is Australia’s first patient-direct online radiology second-opinion service — an Australian panel of six senior, FRANZCR-fellowed radiologists offering independent sub-specialty review of imaging you have already had. Every reviewing radiologist is fellowship-trained — no junior or general radiologists on the panel. Sub-specialty coverage spans paediatrics, neuroradiology, musculoskeletal, chest and abdomen, and nuclear medicine.

Some scans deserve more than a routine reading. The borderline finding you cannot stop thinking about. The “clear” result that has not resolved your symptoms. The complex case where the original report leaves more questions than answers. The result you simply want to be certain of before a treatment decision. For your most important scans, an independent reading by a senior sub-specialty radiologist is the standard worth asking for.Services are available to patients in Australia and internationally.

About Us

Founded by radiologists who see what gets missed

ScanCheck is an Australian panel of senior sub-specialty radiologists offering independent second opinions on imaging you’ve already had. Every reviewing radiologist is FRANZCR-fellowed and continues to practise daily in their sub-specialty across major Australian hospitals — so the clinician reviewing your scan is someone actively at the top of their field, not someone working from a generalist’s perspective.

Sub-specialty coverage includes

neuroradiology
musculoskeletal imaging
abdominal imaging
chest and cardiovascular imaging
paediatric imaging
women’s health imaging
nuclear medicine

ScanCheck was founded by Dr Samuel McCormack, a senior sub-specialist radiologist who trained at Sydney’s Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and Oxford, England, with over 15 years of public and private experience. Throughout his career, Dr McCormack has been involved in registrar training and clinical quality assurance — and it was that focus on imaging quality that led him to establish ScanCheck.

“Most imaging reports are good. But for the cases where you really need to be sure — the ambiguous finding, the unresolved symptom, the result that will shape your treatment — a second look by someone whose entire practice focuses on that body region is the standard worth asking for.” — Dr Samuel McCormack, Founder

The Process

Four steps from enquiry to report

Why ScanCheck exists

Designed for the way Australian radiology actually works

What the standard system isn't designed to give you

In Australia, when you have a scan, you don’t choose who reads it. The clinic assigns your imaging to whichever radiologist is on shift — and that radiologist may not be a sub-specialist in the body region your scan is investigating. They may be a registrar in training. They may be a senior generalist working across body areas. The system isn’t designed to give you a choice, a senior second read, or sub-specialty scrutiny on request. The report you receive is the report your treating doctors will work with — and the standard system doesn’t have a built-in way to question it.

ScanCheck exists to fill that gap. Every radiologist on our panel is FRANZCR-fellowed and continues to practise daily in a sub-specialty across major Australian hospitals. When you commission a ScanCheck review, you’re not getting a generic second look — you’re getting the kind of senior, sub-specialty scrutiny that the standard radiology workflow isn’t designed to provide.
