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.

The cost of the Scan Check is also outlined in the approval email, depending on complexity (basic review is $350).
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. Often there is an option to share the diagnostic DICOM images with a treating doctor.
If your scan is suitable for review we will advise whether we can get access to your images as your imaging review specialist.
Scans reviewed & reported
The scans are assigned to one of our sub-specialised doctors who will review your information & analyze your images.
The report will then be available to download from our secure system.
The report can also be securely transferred through to your doctors patient database.
Our radiologists can be available to discuss the results with you after the review, at a cost, or answer additional questions via email.
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 . Once you consent to the review and become one of our patient’s then we can usually download your scan without effort on your part. This process is designed to ensure security of your information and prevent hacking of our website.
If you do not receive an email after your submission, then please email support@scancheck.com.au to check whether your application has gone through.
We usually need to know the type of study, the location and date when it was acquired. It is always useful to have your report as sometimes there can be mistakes in spelling your name, or a clinic may have more than one PACS system.
