A full range of imaging services.

Radiology is a branch of medicine that uses imaging technology to diagnose and oftentimes treat diseases and injuries inside the body. It involves using tools and services such as:

• X-rays
• Ultrasound
• CT (computed tomography) scans
• MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
• Nuclear medicine
• Mammography

Radiologists are specially trained medical professionals who interpret these images to help identify conditions such as broken bones, tumours, infections, or internal bleeding. In some cases, radiologists also perform image-guided procedures, like biopsies or injections, which are also known as interventional radiology.

Radiology plays a key role in modern healthcare, helping detect diseases early, guide treatment, and monitor progress, and Allevia Radiology are a specialist radiology group leading the way in diagnosing imaging in Aotearoa.

Depending on your specific procedure will depend on the time you need to wait for your results. Please ensure you speak with our team when you’re getting your imaging done to ask for how to procure your results and the time frame you’ll likely be waiting to receive a diagnosis.

Radiology is generally very safe when used appropriately. At Allevia Radiology, we use a variety of imaging techniques to help diagnose and monitor conditions, and patient safety is always our top priority. Methods like ultrasound and MRI don’t use ionising radiation and are completely safe, even during pregnancy. 

For scans that do involve radiation, such as X-rays, CT scans, and mammograms, we follow strict protocols to ensure doses are as low as possible while still capturing accurate images to ensure your safety. 

We also take extra precautions with children and pregnant patients, opting for non-radiation methods whenever possible.
