A new, state-of-the-art radiology department at North Eastern Community Hospital has opened. 

Benson Radiology’s new clinic at NECH will provide a major boost to health services in Adelaide’s north eastern suburbs. 

Benson Radiology’s new department will provide comprehensive radiology services including MRI and cardiac CT – services not previously available at the hospital. 

The purpose-built department not only features the latest imaging equipment but has also been designed to create a contemporary and comfortable experience for patients. 

Conveniently accessed from the hospital’s main entrance, the new department provides: 

  • MRI 
  • CT (including cardiac scanning) 
  • Digital x-ray 
  • Ultrasound 
  • Bone mineral densitometry 
  • Dental imaging 

NECH CEO Michele Smith says the new department and the expansion of NECH’s radiology services will improve services to the community and support NECH’s plans for growth over the coming years. 

“We look forward to a successful partnership with Benson Radiology to the benefit of our patients and referring medical practitioners in the north eastern suburbs,” she said. 

Benson Radiology said:  

“We’re excited about the new department and the ability to grow the imaging services in the region.  

“Most importantly, we look forward to providing patients with a high quality service, with professionalism, passion and care.”
