Secure Electronic Images and Reports to Your Practice

 In response to requests from various referrers, Southern Nuclear Imaging Group (SNI) can now provide Web Based access to your patient’s images and reports via www.snig.com.au (SNIG Home Page) or https://reports.snig.com.au (“Doctor’s Login” link). The approach we have developed has been designed to make the process as simple and secure as possible. 

Our objective is to provide a filmless service to referrers unless they specifically request “hardcopy” of their patient’s scans.  Images and reports will be made available 24/7 from any computer workstation anywhere in the world. The images will be exactly the same as the films/printouts you have received in the past.

We would like to encourage you to access your patient’s Images and a copy of the clinical report using this web access (ARGUS Connect secure email will still place the report into your patient management system such as Medical Director and Best Practice) so that we can all benefit from:

More timely receipt of clinical images and reports;
Quick and easy access to images from any workstation which runs a Web Browser anywhere in the world.
No chance of clinical reports and images going astray in the post/surgery;

Secure Web access is free to all medical practitioners. There is no charge to access patient images and reports. If a “hardcopy” is required at a later date this can be easily arranged.

To get access to your patient’s images you will need to:

1.       Request the registration of  a username and password by going to www.snig.com.au and entering via "DOCTOR'S LOGIN" at https://reports.snig.com.au OR by calling your nearest Southern Nuclear Imaging practice (contact details are on request forms or see www.snig.com.au for contact details) or call Gary Minch on 0418763528.

2.        Fill in the electronic form to send a request to SNIG requesting access to your patient's images. 

Note: An SNI staff member will be happy to visit your practice and provide a demonstration of the Web Access to you and your colleagues.

Once Your Patient Database is established: To access this service:
