North Coast Radiology, the leading provider of Medical imaging services within the Northern Rivers region, recently invested in a new MRI service for their Ballina Rooms. In an effort to make the new state of the art facility as welcoming for patients as possible, they commissioned local photographer Dane Hodkinson of DB Hodkinson Photography to capture some local landmarks to put on the wall.

The result was amazing’ said Andrew Hooper, Chairman of North Coast Radiology, ‘We really wanted to open the space up as much as possible and make the room less clinical feeling’. This is considering that the local photographer, Dane, had just 3 days to come up with the perfect landscape shots. The 2 shots are of The Ballina river mouth and Lennox Point and take up the full length of each side of the new MRI Room. When talking to him about the process he said ‘I had 3 days to do this prior to the MRI Magnet being installed, and the weather was foul. As it happened I managed to get these 2 shots within 20 minutes of each other, including the driving!’
Andrew Hopper said ‘It is great when we can support a local business in this way, especially when in the medical profession we rely so heavily on global manufacturers for our medical imaging technology. So as a local business we always try to support local businesses when we are making any upgrades to our services - and it is made all the more special when you see patient reactions to the images and enjoying a welcoming and calming environment for their MRI scan’.
