Dr Leo Ha is a Radiologist (Nuclear Medicine) based in Newtown, in Sydney. He works out of RPAH Medical Centre, Suite 206, Level 2, 100 Carillon Avenue, Newtown NSW 2042.
Nuclear medicine is about using small amounts of radioactive material to help doctors see how parts of the body are working, not just what they look like. In many cases, this kind of scan can help explain ongoing symptoms and guide next steps for treatment.
Dr Ha supports patients who need scans such as bone scans, thyroid scans, lung scans, and cardiac stress tests. A bone scan is often used when there are concerns around bone changes. Thyroid scans can be helpful for understanding thyroid function. Lung scans may be used when doctors want a clearer picture of breathing and airflow. Cardiac stress tests check how the heart copes under stress, which can be important when symptoms need a closer look.
He looks after a mix of people, from those coming in for planned investigations to patients who are trying to get answers after tests haven’t fully explained what’s going on. At times, scanning appointments can feel stressful, especially when you’re waiting for results. Dr Ha’s approach is practical and calm, with an emphasis on getting things done properly and making the process easier to handle.
Dr Ha’s training is in radiology and nuclear medicine, and his day-to-day work focuses on running and interpreting the scans that help other clinicians make decisions. He also works with the referring team so the right scan is done for the right question.
Education details and specific research interests are not listed here. Clinical trials information isn’t provided either, so there’s nothing to confirm on that point.
Language support is available in English and Korean, which can help some patients feel more at ease during appointments and discussions.
