We work closely with St Johns, the Otago Trust Rescue Helicopter and the Dunedin ICU Retrieval service to navigate patient transfers.

The District Radiology Service offers a full range of imaging modalities based on a digital RIS / PACS system. Across the district we offer MRI, Interventional, CT and ultrasound, however, we do not offer mammography services.
