Queensland X-Ray are pleased to share that we have upgraded the PET/CT scanner at our Mater Private Hospital Hyde Park practice. The Biograph Trinion PET/CT will help us continue delivering the best quality care for patients across Townsville.
This upgraded technology offers greater sensitivity and improved detectability of small lesions, leading to improved image quality and more accurate reporting.
The machine’s AI-supported workflow allows for rapid scanning, which means shorter appointments, increased capacity, and reduced wait lists.
Dr Tyson Reeve, a Queensland X-Ray Radiologist with a special interest in oncological imaging, shares the impact this upgrade will make:

"PET/CT scans can be overwhelming—whether it’s for diagnosis, managing or monitoring treatment, or a routine follow-up. With this upgrade, patients will experience shorter wait times, faster scans, and higher-quality imaging. The new features, like calming LED lighting and a flared bore, make the experience more comfortable, helping ease anxiety during what is often an already difficult time."
We’re thrilled to roll out this advanced technology at Queensland X-Ray and are confident it will make a real difference to the community. The continued investment in our PET/CT equipment signifies our commitment to delivering service excellence for our patients and referring practitioners.
