Synergy Radiology – Norwest Medical Imaging, would like to confirm that NO testing for Coronavirus has been performed or will be performed in our premises as this is not an Imaging test, but rather a Pathology test. As reported by 2GB and other online sources, testing was done last week by a pathology provider within the building. Following discussions, the pathology provider agreed to immediately discontinue Coronavirus testing services and further all areas have been disinfected and cleaned to Department of Health standards. Furthermore, the pathology provider has assured us ALL patients tested in the building that day have tested negative. Despite this, further precautions were taken that afternoon both by ourselves and the building Strata manager. Hospital-grade disinfection and cleaning was performed to all common areas as per Department of Health Standards to ensure no risks to our staff, patients and visitors.
What is ovarian cancer?
Ovarian cancer is a general term used to describe a cancerous (malignant) tumour starting in one or both ovaries.
The ovaries are made up of three main kinds of cells – epithelial cells, stromal cells and germ cells. Each of these cells can develop into a different type of tumour. The average age of women when they are diagnosed with ovarian cancer is age 64. It is mainly diagnosed in women over the age of 50; however, there are cases diagnosed in younger women.
Every day, 4 Australian women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Sadly, only 46% of women survive, and in most cases it is diagnosed at an advanced stage, which is very difficult to treat. With your help, we can provide better support, treatment and outcomes to women living with the deadliest female cancer. With your help, we can save lives.

Heart Disease – WEAR RED DAY
February 7th, the day of hearts – wear RED for someone close to your heart. Whether it’s a family member, a special friend or in memory for someone you loved who sadly passed away due to heart disease.
Cardiovascular disease generally refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack,
chest pain (angina) or stroke. Other heart conditions, such as those that affect your heart’s muscle, valves or rhythm, also are considered forms of heart disease.
By improving your lifestyle, including your diet and level of fitness, you can minimize your risk of getting cardiovascular disease. Even if you have two or more risk factors, you can still make changes that will reduce your chances of developing heart problems.
