You don’t need to be invincible. You need to stay proactive.
To your family, you’re invincible. You carry the weight of their worlds on your shoulders. You help them defeat the monsters under the bed.
But real strength isn’t about pushing through, it’s about knowing when you need to protect yourself.
Looking after yourself is one of the strongest things you can do
Back Pain
Back problems affect around 16.4% of Australian men.
And while you may not think your back problems are a big issue now, 72% of people with back problems live with one or more other chronic conditions.
Plus, back problems can have a big impact on your life, increasing pain, decreasing activity and reducing your participation in social and work activities.*
Heart Conditions
Acute coronary events (including heart attack and unstable angina) occurred 2.2 times more in men than women in 2023.*
On top of that, stroke occured 1.4 times as much in males than females.**
Knowing the symptoms, your risk and getting regular checks is vital to protecting your heart health.
Lung Cancer
Lung cancer was the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia in 2021.*
And is often diagnosed at the later stages when treatment is more difficult. Regular checks (whether you have symptoms or not) can help you find things before they become big issues.
Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer made up 28% of all cancer diagnoses in Australian men in 2024.*
While prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers, the good news is that when prostate cancer is found early, the survival rate is 96%.**
Testicular Conditions
Conditions such as testicular cancer and varicoceles can significantly impact your health.
Testicular cancer is more common in younger men, and is the second most commonly diagnose cancer for men aged 20-39 (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer).*
Bone Conditions
Osteoporosis isn’t just a concern for women. Men are also at risk, particularly as they age and the bones naturally lost their strength.
Comprehensive Medical Imaging for men’s health needs
Advanced technology that reveals the unseen
While you’re a hero in your household, our team are heroes when it comes to your health.
Using x-ray vision, ultrasonic capabilities and the latest technology, they’re here to support you.
Whether you need a scan to investigate the cause of your symptoms, or are looking to reduce your pain with our interventional procedures, our medical imaging services can help you understand your symptoms, find a diagnosis and access the treatment you need.
Prostate Imaging
Direct Radiology perform several services for diagnosis and staging of prostate related issues, including MRI, Ultrasound and CT.
Cardiovascular Imaging
We offer a full range of medical imaging services to detect and diagnose cardiovascular conditions.
Scrotal Ultrasound
Ultrasound imaging of the scrotum provides valuable anatomical and pathological information about the testes, epididymis and scrotum using high-frequency ultrasound, which is safe and painless. Ultrasound is typically used to assess the cause of pain, swelling, infertility or a palpable lump. In babies and infants, ultrasound can search for undescended testes.
Sudden onset of pain in the scrotum is a serious condition that should be investigated immediately to rule out testicular torsion, when the spermatic cord twists and reduces blood supply to the scrotum. Testicular torsion requires immediate surgery to avoid any permanent damage to the torted testis.
Breast Imaging
Although breast cancer is a rare condition in men, Direct Radiology provides a comprehensive breast imaging service for both men and women.
The same level of privacy and expert care is provided to men, who could get breast cancer and might need diagnostic testing.
If you notice any unusual signs or symptoms, such as a breast lump, speak to your doctor about your concerns.
Bone, Muscle & Tendon Imaging
We offer a range of musculoskeletal scans and interventional procedures to identify and treat the source of your pain.
Additionally, we offer DEXA Bone Density scans to assess your bone health and help you take steps to ensure your bones stay healthy.
Lung Cancer Screening
In collaboration with Chest Scan, we provide free low-dose chest CT scans as part of the National Lung Cancer Screening Program.
If you’re not eligible to for the program, there are still scanning options to assess the health of your lungs.
