Radiology

Radiology is a medical specialty that uses imaging such as x-rays, ultrasound, MRI and CT scans to diagnose and treat diseases. Radiology at Royal Perth Hospital is the largest and longest established tertiary public hospital Radiology department in Perth.

Imaging studies undertaken include:
