Proudly locally-owned and operated, we aim to deliver a professional yet friendly experience for our patients and their referring practitioners.
LUX was the brainchild of two local urgent care doctors, who wanted to provide an on-site radiological service for their patients, in order to create a one-stop, complementary service for patients needing imaging services in a timely fashion, ideally within the same visit to the medical clinic.
LUX means 'light' in Latin, and this name was chosen for the clinic as radiological imaging, be it X-Ray, Ultrasound, CT or MRI scanning, gives light to darkness; where was once uncertainty about a patient's medical or injury diagnosis, radiology can shed light and aid doctors in making an accurate diagnosis, therefore providing the appropriate treatment.
Our company logo was inspired by the Aurora Australis photos taken on an Air New Zealand flight over the Southern Ocean towards the Antarctica. Also known as the Southern Lights, this is a spectacular and magical phenomena - the LUX logo simulates the constantly shifting waves and colours of this beautiful light, echoing our aim to provide beautiful radiological images for accuracy of diagnosis; and, for maternity ultrasound, images that mothers-to-be can also share.
Our first clinic in central Ponsonby started up right in the middle of the first nationwide Covid19 lockdown in August 2020.
We started with general and maternity ultrasound, and have since expanded to include X-ray, 3D/4D maternity bonding scans, and a top-class interventional musculoskeletal ultrasound service.
Meet Alan McNair, our experienced & friendly Radiographer.
Alan is the proud operator of our brand new, state of the art Siemens X-ray machine. He comes with many years' experience in medical imaging, having worked in various radiological practices in New Zealand over the past 30 years. He is meticulous in his work, providing precise, high quality X-ray images to help with accurate diagnosis of a patient's injury or medical condition.
Patients may book online, by phone or walk-in for X-ray services. As this service is based in a medical clinic with casting and splinting services, patients may choose to have their treatment started at the clinic (if required) after the X-ray, and are referred back to their doctor for follow up.
Meet Andrew Graham, our MusculoSkeletal Ultrasound Expert.
Andrew is highly experienced and unique in his field, as he holds both Physiotherapy and Sonography qualifications. He is particularly skilled in MSK scanning and injection therapy, including steroid and barbotage. These interventions can be very effective for painful, injured or arthritic joints, allowing the patient to walk out pain-free with a smile on their face, and restoring their joint functionality and quality of life.
Referrals are required from your GP or specialist for injection therapies, or make an appointment to see one of our doctors in the clinic to ascertain your suitability for treatment. Andrew has a good relationship with a team of orthopaedic surgeons and physiotherapists, and can guide you on the next steps following your treatment.
Introducing Ginny, our Maternity Ultrasound Superstar.
Ginny has 20 years experience working in public and private practices throughout New Zealand. She has a passion for maternity and gynaecology ultrasound, and is also highly skilled in vein mapping. Patients rave about her thoroughness, warmth and friendliness.
She now offers an exclusive 3D/4D pregnancy scan service. 3D ultrasounds create a three-dimensional image of your baby, while 4D ultrasounds create a live video effect, like a movie - you can watch your baby smile or yawn. This provides a special bonding experience for parents, family, and friends - a truly special moment indeed! Also included are photos and videos of the scan to share with your loved ones.
This scan is best performed between 28 and 32 weeks for best views of the baby. You can purchase this experience for yourself, or as a gift for a mom-to-be. Gift certificates are available on our website, and we can email this to your giftee along with a special message from yourself.
