World Class Medical Imaging Services available to Auckland FC
We are thrilled to announce that we are an official partner of Auckland FC, Auckland’s new professional football club. Through this partnership, we will supply medical imaging services including MRI, PET-CT, CT, interventional radiology, ultrasound, and x-ray to the team.
AFC CEO, Nick Becker, said that a new partnership with Auckland Radiology gives AFC the perfect opportunity to further enhance their medical and sports science programme.
“As the country’s newest professional sports team with a full schedule of games ahead of us, it is of vital importance our athletes are well-looked after and assessed by the country’s best team of radiologists. This partnership ensures that will always be the case and we’re delighted to be working together.“
Sports imaging is a particular area of specialty for Auckland Radiology. Almost half of our radiologists have sub-specialisations in musculoskeletal imaging and musculoskeletal interventions. These doctors are dedicated experts in imaging of the body’s bones, cartilage, connective tissues, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons.
Dr. Stephen Merrilees, Managing Radiologist, emphasises our commitment to supporting the New Zealand sports community.
“The ARG team are experts in sports imaging. This unique opportunity to support Auckland FC in their inaugural season reflects our commitment to helping athletes of all levels get back to what they love doing after an injury. Our clinical team are excited to work with the players, coaches and medical staff of Auckland FC during the A League Men’s competition.”
