More than forty years of radiographic excellence
Portable X-Ray Services has been serving the Auckland market since 1969, and has developed its technology and processes over the years to provide faster and more accurate diagnostic x-rays.
Portable X-Ray Services commenced in 1969, to fulfill a need for the small private surgical hospitals. This then developed into a service for the growing geriatric rest home / hospital market and private homes.
The service was provided through using a small van with manual developing tanks and a relatively large portable x-ray machine.
A few years later the practice expanded to 2 vehicles, to cater for a growing market.
In the year 2000 the practice moved towards automated processing, and installed bench top film processors and portable generators into the vehicles.
In 2005 the practice experienced further expansion with an additional vehicle to cater for the demand for our exceptional service.
Our service is now contracted by the area health boards to provide services for their satellite units, i.e. Spinal Unit, Rehab and smaller Geriatric Hospitals. We also provide services for the correctional facilities.
We are actively investigating the utilization of Computerized / Digital Radiography, so our patients can benefit from the technical advances in this field.
