Aged Care X-Ray
& Ultrasound in Melbourne
Across Melbourne
We bring portable digital X-ray and bedside ultrasound to residential aged care homes across Melbourne, so residents are imaged in their own room — no ambulance, no emergency department wait, and far less distress than a transfer.
We have performed over 10,000 examinations across more than 170 aged care homes. Clinician-owned and clinician-run, with our own Melbourne-based staff and our own equipment.
Mobile X-Ray
Portable digital radiography at the bedside — chest, abdomen, hip, pelvis, spine, shoulder, knee and extremity imaging. Common reasons nursing staff call us: a suspected fracture after a fall, chest infection or aspiration, constipation and bowel obstruction, PEG and NG tube placement, and assessment before a decision to transfer.
Mobile Ultrasound
Sonographer-led bedside ultrasound, including abdominal, renal, bladder and post-void residual, pelvic, musculoskeletal and soft tissue studies, along with DVT and vascular Doppler. No radiation, no transfer — the scan is done in the resident’s own room.
Why aged care homes choose EMRG Imaging
Quick when it counts
In most cases we attend the same day or the next business day, and urgent requests are worked into that day’s run. Anything clinically urgent is raised with the treating doctor directly.
Familiar faces
Our own Melbourne-based radiographers and sonographers, who get to know your home, your access arrangements and your nursing team — not a different contractor every visit.
Hospital-standard reporting
Our radiologists, radiographers and sonographers also work within Melbourne’s major hospital and health networks. All clinical staff are AHPRA registered and our sonographers are ASAR accredited.
Less disruption for residents
We group residents into a single visit, work around meal and medication rounds, and keep site access notes so imaging fits the home’s routine. Trusted by homes operated by Arcare, Regis, Opal, Calvary, Bupa and more.
How it works
We come to the home
A radiographer or sonographer attends — usually the same or next business day — and images the resident in their room.
Results to the doctor
Images go straight to our radiologists and the report is sent to the referring doctor and the email you nominate.
