In 2012, Dr. O’Rourke established Medscan Merrylands and HeartScan Australia. In conjunction with Westmead Hospital and local cardiologists, Medscan and HeartScan Australia has established itself as the premier provider of high-level cardiac imaging including CTCA, echocardiography, and cardiac MRI imaging. Our team is one of the largest providers of CTCA imaging in Australia and a leader in cardiac MRI reporting.
