Medical Imaging
We have the only 3D/4D Ultrasound machine in the Wimmera Mallee area. With 3D ultrasound, a series of thin 2D slices is digitally reconstructed to give more life-like images. With 4D ultrasound, the added dimension is time, so that the 3D images appear to be moving in real time. All X-Ray requests are also available at our Warracknabeal campus.
