20.01.2022 World Osteoporosis Day - 20 October 2020 Bone tissue loss generally begins around 40 years of age, when we can no longer replace bone tissue as quickly as we lose it. You can help stem the tide of bone loss by; ensuring bone-healthy nutrition with sufficient calcium, protein, vitamin D and important micronutrients. Bone mineral density is a term that refers to the thickness and strength of your bones, which is measured by a Bone Mineral Densitometry (BMD) scan. BMD is a speci...al type of X-ray that provides information on your bone mass or fragility, and the risk of fractures or broken bones - the higher the density, generally the lower the risk of fracture. For further information on BMD, visit: https://www.scr.com.au/services/bone-densitometry-dexa/.

13.01.2022 Week 1 progress from our 2020 Mo Bro, Sam Bradshaw: "I am happy to be involved in Movember and be SCR's Mo Bro for 2020. This year has been trying for many people, so to be able to raise a few dollars for Men's Health and help support mental health and suicide prevention programs seems especially important this year. Promoting fundraisers like Movember also acts as a reminder for men to stay on top of their health and have their checks, as Covid-19 has been the cause for man...y men to miss appointments and neglect their health."

06.01.2022 HAPPY AUSTRALASIAN SONOGRAPHERS DAY! Today is your day to be recognised as the expert in ultrasound. Ultrasound imaging is a non-invasive, painless test that is performed using a smooth hand-held transducer. The transducer transmits high-frequency sound waves into your body, of which are reflected from different body tissues to produce a real time moving image on a screen.... Ultrasound is readily available and cost-effective, therefore is often the first diagnostic test ordered to directly assess the area of interest in real time, including; pregnancy, organs such as the heart and blood vessels, swelling and infection, and abdominal, pelvic and musculoskeletal pain.

01.01.2022 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A time for women to be breast aware. 3D Mammography Breast Tomosynthesis, when compared to 2D mammography, is 27% more effective at detecting breast cancers, 40% more effective at detecting invasive breast cancers, and reduces false positives by 17%. 3D Mammography is the latest, most advanced technology for early detection of breast cancer. 3D Mammography is likened to the pages in a book - instead of just seeing the cover, the radi...ologist can view all the information inside page by page, in tiny 1mm slices. SCR perform 3D Mammography at all of our breast imaging sites: Robina, Tweed Heads, Hope Island and The Women’s Imaging Centre.
