🎗️ Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men aged 20–39. The good news? It has one of the highest survival rates if detected early.

That’s why knowing your body and acting quickly is so important.
🧠 What to look for:
• A painless lump or swelling in one testicle
• A feeling of heaviness or discomfort in the sc***um
• Dull ache in the lower abdomen or groin

If something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore it. See your GP and ask about an ultrasound - a fast, safe and effective way to investigate.

Hunter Imaging is here to support your health with compassionate care and expert diagnostic services, close to home.

🩺 Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men but early detection can make all the difference.

If you're 50 or older, or over 40 with a family history, speak to your GP about prostate screening.

Many early-stage cases show no symptoms, which is why regular check-ups are key. If symptoms do appear, they may include:
• Difficulty starting or stopping urination
• Frequent urination, especially at night
• Weak or interrupted urine flow
• Pain or stiffness in the lower back, hips or pelvis

At Hunter Imaging, we support men’s health with accurate, accessible diagnostic imaging, including MRI and CT, to support early diagnosis and treatment.

🎗 Breast cancer scans save lives, but they remain critically underfunded.

On the eve of International Day of Radiology, Hunter Imaging supports ADIA in raising awareness of how Medicare underfunding impacts patients and providers alike.

Scans like breast ultrasound, 2D mammography, and 3D mammography play a vital role in early detection, yet many patients are left with significant out-of-pocket costs.

Why? Because Medicare rebates are so low, it’s often not viable for practices to bulk bill while continuing to provide the high standard of care that patients rely on.

➡️ Rebates have increased by less than $1 per year since 1998
➡️ Bulk billing rates remain as low as 32% for some services
➡️ Contrast-Enhanced Mammography, an advanced imaging modality for women with dense breast tissue, is not funded by Medicare at all
➡️ Patients can pay $100+ per scan, even for essential imaging

At Hunter Imaging, we believe in accessible, timely care — and that starts with funding services that patients rely on.
